Celebrity Net Worth states that Rajon Rondo’s net worth as of this year is around $35 million.
The Louisville, Kentucky native is arguably one of the best floor generals and best NBA minds of all time. Many believe that Rondo has a future in coaching at the NBA level due to his high basketball IQ and him being like an extension of the coach when he is on the floor.
Rondo started his professional career when he was selected as the 21st overall pick in the 2006 NBA draft by the Phoenix Suns. His draft rights were eventually traded to the Boston Celtics where his NBA journey started.
Rajon Rondo’s first contract with the Celtics was a four-year, $5.7 million rookie deal. He capped off his maiden season as part of the NBA All-Rookie Second Team.
In his second season with the squad, the Celtics formed a big three of Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce, with Rondo handling the point.
This year proved to be a spectacular season for the Celts as they advanced to the NBA Finals to face the Los Angeles Lakers. The Celtics-Lakers rivalry was instantly renewed with a gruelling six-game series.
Rajon Rondo’s extraordinary performance in the deciding Game 6 helped the Celtics win their 17th championship in franchise history. Rondo finished the game with 21 points, 8 assists, 7 rebounds, and 6 steals.
Rondo and the Celtics eventually faced the Lakers again in the 2010 NBA Finals but failed to finish the job after a physical seven-game series.
The 6’1 point guard played nine seasons for the Boston Celtics where he averaged 10.8 points, 8.3 assists, 4,7 rebounds, and 1.8 steals per game.
Rondo was traded to the Dallas Mavericks early into the 2014-2015 NBA season. He finished the rest of the season in Dallas but he was clearly struggling to fit into Rick Carlisle and the Mavs’ system.
“He’s a champion, You can’t take that from me. You can’t take that from him. It just didn’t work out, that two champions couldn’t figure it out,” says Rondo on Rick Carlisle
“I have a lot of respect for Rick. Just because things don’t go well doesn’t mean you hate a person or that the media perception is right. Rick and I had a good relationship in the beginning. We tried to work it out. I worked with him every day on my shot. We watched film together. Not every marriage works. It was a learning process.”
After his trade to Dallas, Rondo has been jumping from one team to another.
In the 2015 offseason, Rondo signed a one-year, $10 million contract with the Sacramento Kings. Rondo was incredible for the California capital as he finished the season averaging a triple-double, 11.9 points and 11.7 rebounds.
He signed for the Chicago Bulls in the 2016 offseason with a contract of $28 million for two years. He played a good season for the Bulls but he was eventually waived on June 30, 2017.
The New Orleans Pelicans picked up Rondo during that offseason with a one-year $3.3 million deal. This move reunited him with former Kings teammate DeMarcus Cousins and paired them with All-Star Anthony Davis.
After a good season with the Pels, Rondo signed a one-year, $9 million deal with the Lakers to join LeBron James. Despite missing the playoffs that season, the Lakers re-signed the veteran point guard to a minimum contract.
Rajon Rondo then helped the Lakers win their 17th Championship after disposing the Miami Heat in six games.
Rondo winning his 2nd ring helped him bag a sizable deal with the Atlanta Hawks worth $15 million for two years. However, he was traded mid-season to the Los Angeles Clippers. And after the 2020-2021 season, the Clips traded him to the Memphis Grizzlies — which eventually led to a buyout, making Rondo a free agent this offseason.
For this season, Rondo is going back to the Lakers in a one year, $2.6 million deal as the franchise aims to win their 18th title with their re-tooled roster of veterans.
As of this writing, Rajon Rondo’s total career earning is at $112,385,559, according to Spotrac.
Rajon Rondo’s 16-year career allowed him to bag a lot of money, accolades, and championships. He might be able to add more before he decides to call it a career.
