Gabrielle Union must have thought that she hit the jackpot when she married, NBA legend Dwuyane Wade. Media Take Out confirmed that her former NBA husband has a net worth of $200 million. During his career, Dwyane earned around $199 million in salary alone. Apart from his professional basketball career, a major portion of his wealth came through endorsements and investments.
But despite his enormous fortune … he makes Gabrielle pay for half of the household expenses, according to the beautiful Gabby.
During a recent interview, Gabrielle was asked, “At what point [in your acting career] did you develop that first sense of security and that the work is coming, and the rug is not going to be pulled out?”
Gabrielle gave a pretty long answer, but she said some pretty interesting things. First off, Gabrielle explained that In her household with Dwyane Wade, they split everything 50/50.
What in the ….
And there’s more. Gabrielle is not just paying her OWN bills, but she’s paying bills for multiple family members also.
Gabrielle told the interviewer that she feel the constant pressure to make money. She feels like there’s a gorilla on her back because she has to keep working for people to eat. It’s hard for her to change her mindset.
NEUTROGENA was her first big endorsement. Her contract was renewed for many years until they replaced her with Kerry Washington. She felt rejected, but it helped her become strategic about branding herself.
Since she started working in late 1995 until now (2023), she’s never been anybody’s first choice – not black folks or white folks – but she has been lucky to keep landing roles.
Gotta love her hustler spirit. Now it’s time for her to start hustling her DAMN HUSBAND …
