Trevor Ariza stepped into court with numbers that look nothing like the paycheck fans remember from his NBA career—down to the monthly totals he says he’s bringing in now.
In legal proceedings tied to his battle with his ex-wife. Bree Anderson Ariza. the former NBA star told the court about his financial situation. TMZ obtained an income and expense declaration filed by Ariza. showing he earns an average of $6. 000 per month as a trainer for the disabled. But the filing also says he only made around $2,316 last month.
Ariza told the court he also brings in about $667 per month from investments in Buffalo Wild Wings. In the same declaration, he listed roughly $50K in cash and bank accounts, and $2.5 million in real property.
He said he lives with his girlfriend, Kristy, and her two kids, along with his 14-year-old son and his aunt. His declaration detailed monthly spending as well. including $2K on healthcare. $2K on groceries. $2K on utilities. $500 on cleaning and laundry. $2K on education. $500 on clothes. and $2K on auto expenses and insurance.
Those expenses add up to $11,600 in total monthly costs. Ariza also claimed he paid $7,700 in child support for children from other relationships.
The court figures land in stark contrast to the career earnings many fans associate with him—Ariza reportedly earned over $116 million during his 18-year NBA career.
