Tristan Thompson has been alllll up in the headlines lately, and, unsurprisingly, it's not for a good reason. In case you somehow managed to miss the millions of memes about it, Tristan and Jordyn Woods, Kylie Jenner's BFF, reportedly got a little too cozy for the Kardashian's liking over Valentine's Day weekend. Yep, the NBA star cheated on Khloé again.

The fam has allegedly already kicked both Jordyn and Tristan to the curb, but we don't need to worry too much about Tristan's future. True's dad makes a boatload of $$$ as a professional basketball player. How much, exactly? Let's investigate.

As Expected, Tristan Makes Most of His Money Thanks to Basketball

Get ready to have your eyeballs turn into dollar signs, 'cause Tristan reportedly earned $15 million for the 2016-2017 Cleveland Cavaliers season. When was the last time you earned $15 mill for a year's worth of work? Same.

But wait, that's just one slice of a very large and delicious pie! Various sites that are enthusiastic about sports report that Tristan signed a 5-year $82,000,000 contract with the Cavs, so he's earning about $16.4 million in the current 2018-19 season. Literally, wut. His contract isn't up until 2020, at which point he would become a free agent (I would totally insert a ~single Tristan~ joke here, but it feels a lil too soon) and be eligible to sign a new contract with the Cavs or a different team.

He Also (Maybe) Makes Money from Endorsements

Much like every other modern celebrity, Tristan dabbles in the fine art of #SponCon. Meaning, he teams up with brands to promote their product in exchange for a fat check. The income generated through these collabs is usually kept private, but apparently in 2015 Tristan had a deal with Canada's very own Tim Hortons. Please, take a moment to sit with this blessed image:

So, What's Tristan's Total Net Worth?

According to Celebrity Net Worth, that would be $20 million. Like him or leave him, we can all agree that this is very impressive, so with that in mind:

If you're thinking $20 million actually sounds kinda small considering he signed a $82 million contract, remember that Tristan is still in the early years of said contract. Plus, he has a pretty high tax bill.

Don't Worry, Khloé Stans: She Still Has Him Beat in the Cash Money Department

Because God is fair, Khlo$ makes double the amount of money that Tristan does. She's worth a reported $40 million, so she and True are doing just fine, TYVM.
