Kris Humphries is a former professional basketball player from the United States who has accumulated a net worth of $35 million. During his time as an athlete, he gained recognition primarily for his performances with several teams, including the Utah Jazz (2004–2006), Toronto Raptors (2006–2009), Dallas Mavericks (2009–2010), New Jersey/Brooklyn Nets (2010–2013), Boston Celtics (2013–2014), Washington Wizards (2014–2016), Phoenix Suns (2016), and Atlanta Hawks (2016–2017). In addition to his basketball career, Humphries is widely known for being briefly married to reality television personality Kim Kardashian, a union that lasted only 72 days. Humphries earned a bronze medal while competing for Team USA at the 2002 Isla Margarita FIBA Americas U18 Championship and was selected as the 14th overall pick by the Utah Jazz in the 2004 NBA Draft. He signed a one-year contract worth $8 million with the Nets in 2011 and later agreed to a two-year, $24 million deal with the team in 2012. After retiring from the NBA in 2019, he continued to make appearances on television, including shows such as "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" (2011), "Kourtney & Kim Take New York" (2011–2012), "The Mindy Project" (2013), and "Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles" (2015). Throughout his NBA career, Humphries earned a total of $62 million in salary. Before turning professional, Humphries stood out as a key player for Hopkins High School’s basketball team, leading them to a Minnesota state championship—their first in nearly half a century. His high school achievements earned him state player of the year honors from "College Basketball News" and the "Minneapolis Star Tribune," while "USA Today" named him to their Second Team All-USA list. Rivals.com ranked him as the 15th best player in the country and the second-best power forward in 2003. He initially committed to Duke but later chose to attend college at his father’s alma mater. While playing for the Minnesota Golden Gophers, Humphries led the Big Ten Conference in both scoring and rebounds during his freshman season. He received numerous accolades, including the 2004 Big Ten Freshman of the Year award and Honorable Mention All-America recognition. Coaches and media also selected him for the All-Big Ten First Team. He set University of Minnesota records for the most points scored by a freshman in a single season (629) and the highest single-game total (36 points). Following his standout freshman year, Humphries decided to forgo his remaining college eligibility and enter the NBA draft. On January 27, 2010, Humphries reached a career-high scoring mark, putting up 25 points against the Los Angeles Clippers. During the 2011 season, he recorded double-doubles in both rebounds and points, ranking fifth in the NBA in rebounding at the time. In response to his strong performance, the Nets re-signed him to a one-year, $8 million contract in 2011. After the team relocated from New Jersey to New York and rebranded as the Brooklyn Nets, they extended his contract in July 2012 with a two-year, $24 million deal. However, the Nets traded Humphries to the Boston Celtics in June 2013, and he was then dealt to the Washington Wizards in July 2014. In October 2014, he underwent surgery to repair nerve damage in a finger after sustaining an injury during a preseason game against the Chicago Bulls. The Phoenix Suns acquired Humphries in a trade in February 2016; he participated in four games with the team before joining the Atlanta Hawks on March 1. The Hawks re-signed him to a $4 million contract in July 2016. After his one-year deal expired, Humphries signed with the Philadelphia 76ers in September 2017, appearing in three preseason games before being released in mid-October. On March 26, 2019, he announced his retirement through an article titled "I Never Wanted to Be That Guy" published in "The Player's Tribune." In 2006, Humphries purchased a lakefront property in Mound, Minnesota, spanning 4,716 square feet, for $1.649 million. He listed the home for $1.65 million and later reduced the asking price to $1.586 million in March 2019. In 2018, he acquired a 4,542 square foot residence in the Hollywood Hills for $7.495 million. He previously sold a remodeled Beverly Hills home for $8.25 million in 2017 after purchasing it for $6.2 million in 2015. © 2026 Celebrity Net Worth / All Rights Reserved
