Despite the stardom he’s received throughout his life, Rodman has had his fair share of errs as well. He has spent a lot of his fortune on fines, both on and off the court. Notable among those is when he kicked a referee in 1997, which subjected him to a $200,000 million fine along with a 11-game suspension.

In 2012, Rodman was forced to pay $500,000 million for child support – to his ex-wife Michelle Moyer, who filed for divorce in 2004. Apart from this, Rodman has reportedly paid a lot of fines for various incidents he’s been involved in with the police.
