Charles Barkley became one of the 50 greatest players in the NBA history with a net worth of $30 million. The consummate entertainer also had an Emmy Award-winning television run after his Hall of Fame basketball career. He evolved into a consummate artist and a pop culture icon who can command a diverse audience that does not always agree with his opinions. However, they respect his ability to tell things the way they are.
After his junior year at Auburn, Charles quickly entered the NBA Draft in 1984 and became a unique proposition. He has the powerful energy and athleticism that convinced the 76ers to take him as part of their overall pick even if he was overweight and undersized. This self-proclaimed "ninth wonder of the world is NBA's shortest player to lead in rebounds. The statistics of his career for 16 years are remarkable despite his size. He had 11.7 rebounds and 22.1 points for every game that people can attribute to his will to succeed.
Nowadays, Barkley is an insightful and famous NBA analyst for the Emmy award-winning show Inside NBA. He has a great on-air chemistry and unpredictable antics with host Ernie Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal, and Kenny Smith. As a group, they made Inside NBA one of the most entertaining shows for a long time.
