Malik Beasley net worth in 2026 cannot honestly be given as one number. What is documented is his gross NBA pay: $60,019,256 across nine seasons, per HoopsHype. What is not documented is what survives of it. Court filings through 2025 and 2026 show judgments and claims against him totalling more than $8 million, and on 29 June 2026 a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of New York indicted him over an alleged scheme to rig bets on his own statistics. He has pleaded not guilty.

Published net worth estimates for Beasley now range from about $60,000 to figures in the tens of millions. That is not a rounding disagreement — it is two different quantities being reported under the same label. This page keeps them apart: career earnings (verifiable) and net worth (an estimate nobody can currently make with confidence). It also covers what has actually happened to him since he last played in the NBA — he has not appeared in an NBA game since the 2024-25 season with the Detroit Pistons.

Malik Beasley Net Worth: Why the Estimates Disagree So Wildly

Three very different figures are circulating, and it is worth naming what each one actually measures.

• Around $53-59 million. Sites quoting this range are reporting his career contract value or gross earnings and labelling it net worth. It is not a net worth figure — it ignores tax, agent fees, living costs and every liability listed further down this page.
• $18 million. The estimate this article previously carried, built from a chain of assumptions (a 35% tax rate, $2 million a year in living costs, a rumoured divorce settlement). None of those inputs were sourced, and the chain predates everything that has happened since early 2025.
• About $60,000. Celebrity Net Worth’s current figure, which explicitly reflects the debt judgments and claims that surfaced in court records during 2025.

The honest answer is that nobody outside Beasley’s own accountants can currently estimate his net worth with any confidence. A player can earn $60 million gross and still hold very little, and in this case there is public evidence of large outflows rather than speculation about them. What follows is the part that can be checked.

Malik Beasley Career Earnings, Season by Season

Season	Team	Salary
2016-17	Denver Nuggets	$1,627,320
2017-18	Denver Nuggets	$1,700,640
2018-19	Denver Nuggets	$1,773,840
2019-20	Denver / Minnesota	$2,731,713
2020-21	Minnesota Timberwolves	$13,425,895
2021-22	Minnesota Timberwolves	$14,491,964
2022-23	Utah / LA Lakers	$15,558,035
2023-24	Milwaukee Bucks	$2,709,849
2024-25	Detroit Pistons	$6,000,000
Total	9 seasons	$60,019,256

Two points about this table. First, it is gross — before federal and state tax, agent commission and escrow. Second, it stops at 2024-25 on purpose: Beasley earned no NBA salary in 2025-26, which is the single biggest change to his financial picture and the reason the older $18 million estimate cannot simply be bumped forward a year.

The most expensive item on the table is one that is not on it. Detroit was reportedly preparing a three-year, $42 million re-signing in June 2025. Those talks were paused when news of the federal investigation broke, and the deal was never signed. That is roughly the same shape of loss Terry Rozier absorbed in the same sweep of cases — earnings forfeited or foregone rather than money already banked and then spent.

The Federal Indictment: What He Is Actually Charged With

On 29 June 2026, a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of New York indicted Beasley, 29, his former Minnesota teammate Edward Davis, 37, and four alleged co-conspirators. The charges are wire fraud conspiracy, bribery in sporting contests, honest services wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering conspiracy. Prosecutors allege the scheme ran from December 2023 through April 2024, during Beasley’s single season with the Milwaukee Bucks, and that he agreed to under- and over-perform in specific statistical categories so that others could win prop bets.

The indictment centres on rebound props in four games. It alleges that on 6 January 2024 against Cleveland he was to finish under 3.5 rebounds and finished with one; that on 27 February 2024 against Charlotte the target was under 12.5 points and over 3.5 rebounds, and he scored six with four rebounds; and that on 10 March 2024 against the Clippers he secured his fourth rebound with two seconds left. The one game prosecutors say went wrong for the bettors was 21 March 2024 against Brooklyn, when he took six rebounds against a season average of 3.7.

Beasley pleaded not guilty on 1 July 2026. His attorney, Steve Haney, said an indictment “is not proof of guilt or evidence. It is merely a charge of probable cause.” Beasley was not among those arrested on the Monday the indictment was unsealed; Haney said he had coordinated with the U.S. Attorney’s Office to surrender voluntarily that week. The NBA said it was reviewing the indictment and noted that Beasley last played in the league in 2024-25 and Davis in 2021-22. Nothing here has been proven in court, and he is entitled to the presumption of innocence.

The timeline matters, because it explains a year of contradictory headlines. The U.S. Attorney’s Office confirmed Beasley was under investigation on 29 June 2025. In August 2025 his attorneys said he was no longer a target and had not been charged — widely reported at the time as the end of the matter. The indictment landed almost exactly a year after the first disclosure. He is one of more than three dozen people caught up in the wider federal gambling investigation, alongside Rozier and Hall of Famer Chauncey Billups.

The Debts: What Court Records Show

Separately from the criminal case, a series of civil filings during 2025 put Beasley’s finances on the public record. Reporting on those filings describes more than $8 million in disputed debts. The individually documented items are smaller and, in some cases, strikingly ordinary:

• $26,827 — judgment won in January 2025 by Cairo Cuts, a Milwaukee barber shop, over debts run up during his 2023-24 Bucks season.
• $34,390 — judgment won the same month by a Minnesota dentist, who began garnishing his Pistons wages in February 2025.
• $14,150 then $7,355 — two suits from The Stott, a Detroit high-rise owned by Dan Gilbert’s Bedrock, over unpaid rent. The first was dismissed; the second followed a month later.
• $650,000 advance, at least $2.25 million sought — a federal complaint from Hazan Sports Management Group, the agency Beasley reportedly dismissed in February 2025, over an advance tied to future name, image and likeness earnings.

These are claims and judgments, not a full balance sheet, and they do not establish insolvency. But they are the reason a headline net worth figure in the tens of millions is untenable: they are documented outflows from the same $60 million the higher estimates are quietly re-labelling.

Where Malik Beasley Is Now

With no NBA team willing to sign him while the investigation was open, Beasley went abroad. On 13 February 2026 he signed with the Cangrejeros de Santurce of Puerto Rico’s Baloncesto Superior Nacional — the club owned by Bad Bunny. He debuted on 22 March 2026 with 21 points and 8 rebounds against the Vaqueros de Bayamón, and was released on 11 May 2026 after the team started 6-11. He has been a free agent since.

Reports in December 2025 linked him to a six-month, roughly $2 million offer from Partizan Belgrade. Beasley publicly denied it — “I’m not coming to Serbia” — and his agent called the reports exaggerated. He never played in Serbia, and any article listing Partizan among his former clubs is wrong.

Early Life and College

Malik JonMikal Beasley was born on November 26, 1996, in Atlanta, Georgia, to Michael and Deena Beasley. Basketball ran in the family — his father played professionally overseas, including in Chile and the Dominican Republic. Beasley developed at St. Francis School in Alpharetta, Georgia, where he became a four-star recruit.

He played one season at Florida State in 2015-16, averaging 15.6 points and 5.3 rebounds and making the ACC All-Freshman Team. Denver took him 19th overall in the 2016 NBA Draft.

NBA Career and Contracts

Beasley played sparingly in his first two Denver seasons before breaking out in 2018-19, averaging 11.3 points in 81 games. Traded to Minnesota midway through 2019-20, he signed a four-year, $60 million extension in November 2020 and shot a career-best 44.1% from three in 2020-21.

Minnesota moved him to Utah in the 2022 Rudy Gobert trade, and the Jazz flipped him to the Lakers midseason, where he averaged 11.1 points. He then took a one-year, $2,709,849 deal with Milwaukee for 2023-24 — the season the indictment concerns — before signing a one-year, $6 million contract with Detroit in July 2024.

That Detroit season was the best of his career and, so far, his last in the NBA. He played all 82 games, averaging 16.3 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 27.8 minutes, shooting 41.6% from three. He scored a career-high 36 points against Philadelphia on 9 February 2025, broke Saddiq Bey’s franchise three-point record two days later, and finished with 319 threes — a Pistons record and second-most in the NBA that season. He was runner-up for Sixth Man of the Year, losing to Boston’s Payton Pritchard.

Endorsements

Beasley has had a footwear deal with Xtep, the Chinese sportswear brand, and earlier wore Nike while with the Lakers. The value of neither has been disclosed, and this article previously assigned them roughly $5 million on the basis of what comparable players are assumed to earn. That figure was an assumption presented as income, and it has been removed. Endorsement income for a player in his situation is also unlikely to be running at prior levels: brand deals typically contain morals clauses, and he has not played in the NBA since April 2025.

For the same reason, the old “Investments and Business Ventures” section has been cut entirely. It contained no verified holdings — only speculation that he “may have” bought Atlanta property and that stocks “could add” another $1-3 million, with a $2 million total then folded into the net worth calculation. Where a figure cannot be attributed, it does not belong in the arithmetic. The same discipline applies elsewhere on this site — see how contract value and money actually banked are separated for Paul George and Deandre Ayton.

Personal Life

Beasley married model and influencer Montana Yao in March 2020. They have a son, Makai (born 2019), and a daughter (born 2022). Yao first filed for divorce in December 2020, amid publicity around Beasley’s brief relationship with Larsa Pippen, but the couple reconciled.

On 4 March 2025, a day before their fifth wedding anniversary, Yao filed for legal separation in Los Angeles citing irreconcilable differences; Beasley subsequently filed in Michigan. No final decree has been publicly reported. A previous version of this article repeated a rumour that a 2023 divorce settlement cost him $5 million and then used that unconfirmed $5 million as a line item in his net worth calculation. There is no confirmed settlement figure, and it has been removed.

His grandfather, John Beasley, was a well-known character actor, best remembered as the coach in Rudy.

Conclusion

Malik Beasley made $60,019,256 playing NBA basketball and set a franchise record in what turned out to be his final NBA season. What he is worth in 2026 is a different and much harder question. Between judgments from a barber and a dentist, a seven-figure agency claim, a $42 million contract that evaporated before it was signed, and a federal case carrying decades of potential prison exposure, the range of credible estimates is wide enough that quoting a single number would be misleading. This page will be updated when the case resolves.
