Scottie Pippen $120 Million

Scottie Pippen $120 million: Scottie Pippen $120 million in salaries, the former Chicago Bulls forward famously partnered with a few businessmen in 2002 to buy a Gulfstream II corporate jet. Left the courthouse in tears with wife Larsa Pippen after a Cook County jury awarded him a $2 million verdict in a legal malpractice case. “I don’t want to really say anything, I’m just exhausted and tired,” the former Chicago Bulls star told the Chicago Sun-Times on Monday.Pippen, who has reportedly lost $120 million in career earnings since his retirement in 2004, sued two attorneys at the Chicago law firm Pedersen & Houpt for a total of $8.2 million. Pippen alleged the attorneys failed to closely monitor his 2002 purchase of a jet, which was grounded only months after he bought it, for upgrades and refurbishing the interior. Pippen reportedly spent $4.3 million on the Gulfstream II corporate jet. The jury ruled that Pippen deserved blame as well in the bad business deal, awarding him roughly one-quarter of what he asked for. One of the firm’s attorneys, Peter Sullivan, argued during opening statements that Pippen was looking for a scapegoat for his poor financial decisions over the years.
