A famous former basketball player, how rich is Doug Christie? In 2006, Christie’s salary with the Dallas “Mavericks” amounted to $1.5 million, while that same year he received $8.2 million for playing for the Orlando “Magic”. A year later, in 2007, Christie’s salary with the Los Angeles “Clippers”, with whom he signed a 10-day contract, amounted to $158 071. In regards to his wealth, Doug Christie’s net worth is estimated to be $50 million.

Doug Christie was born in 1970, in Seattle, Washington, where he was raised by his mother. Christie’s interest in basketball stems from his childhood, but it was in Mark Morris High School, under the training of Dave Denny, that Christie started looking at basketball as a future career opportunity. Both in Mark Morris High School and Rainier Beach High School, Christie played on the basketball teams, and even led his latter team to the Washington state championship. Christie then enrolled in Pepperdine University, where he studied sociology.

Soon enough, he became known in the whole country. In 1992, Doug Christie entered the NBA Draft and was chosen as the 17th pick for the Seattle “SuperSonics”. Due to issues with his contract, Christie never joined his teammates on the court but was traded to the Los Angeles “Lakers” instead. However, Christie did not get much playing time with the “Lakers” either and spent the majority of games on the bench. He was later traded to the New York “Knicks”, before he finally joined the Toronto “Raptors” where he established himself as a consistent player and was even given a position in the starting five of the team.

Christie played for “Raptors” for four seasons, until he was once again traded, this time to the Sacramento “Kings” in 2000. It was with this team that Christie reached his career high and became one of the team’s best shooting guards, 3pt-shooters, as well as defenders. Before his career-ending injury, Christie managed to play for two more teams, namely the “Magic” and the “Mavericks”. In 2005, Doug Christie suffered an ankle injury, which signified the end of his basketball career, and even though he signed a 10-day contract with the “Clippers” in 2007, he never returned to play basketball professionally.

When he retired from basketball, Doug Christie turned to television and even appeared in several television series, including his own reality show “The Christies Committed”, “Basketball Wives: LA”, as well as “Rickey Smiley Show”.

A famous former basketball player, Doug Christie currently has an estimated net worth of $50 million.
