Rashard Lewis has an estimated net worth of $60 million
Rashard Lewis is an American professional basketball player with an estimated net worth of $60 million. Lewis is currently a small forward for the Miami Heat. He is 6’10″ and weighs 229 pounds. Rashard Quovon Lewis was born on August 8, 1979 in Pineville, Louisiana. He has three brothers and a twin sister, all of who were raised by his mother. His family has a predisposition toward athletics as he has a brother who played linebacker for the Chicago Bears and a sister who played college basketball. After an exemplary high school career – including being named the National Player of the Year by Parade magazine, All-USA First Team by USA Today and the MVP of the McDonald’s All-American game – Lewis decided to go straight to the NBA when he declared himself eligible for the 1998 NBA Draft. He was selected 32nd overall by the Seattle SuperSonics.
Still a teenager, Lewis got off to a rocky NBA career, appearing in only 20 games his rookie season and suffering through a back injury. His second season showed marked improvement as he played every game and averaged more than 8 points and four rebounds. He continued to improve year by year until he reached the best scoring year of his career (22.4 points per game) in his ninth and final season with the team. He agreed to a sign-and-trade deal with the Orlando Magic that would pay him $118 million over six years. Although Lewis enjoyed early success with the Magic – including leading the team in scoring during its 2009 NBA Title appearance – he began to struggle in his last two years of four with the team.
In 2010, Lewis was traded to the Washington Wizards for Gilbert Arenas but only appeared in 60 games over two years and his scoring average dropped below double digits in 2011 for the first time since his second year in the league. In 2012, he would sign a two-year deal with the high-powered Miami Heat and was part of the team that won a second consecutive NBA Title in 2013.
