Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union go way back. The husband-and-wife duo first met at a Super Bowl party back in 2007, but they didn’t start dating until 2009. At the time, Union and Wade were both deeply invested in their careers; Union had starred in multiple films and Wade was playing professional basketball. They ultimately tied the knot in 2014, and their careers continued to thrive.

But which half of this iconic couple has the higher net worth?

Gabrielle Union is reportedly worth $40 million

Union has been on the film scene for decades. She started acting in the 1990s, where she had guest roles on a number of television shows. By the late 1990s, she had picked up a few supporting roles in films; she acted in “10 Things I Hate About You” and “She’s All That” back in 1999, then landed a starring role in “Bring It On” in 2000.

During the 2000s, Union continued her high-profile acting career with roles in films like “Deliver Us From Eva” in 2003 and “Bad Boys II” that same year. She has also had television roles, including BET’s Being Mary Jane between 2013 and 2019. Film and television have been the bulk of Union’s work and have given her a reported net worth of around $40 million, per Celebrity Net Worth.

Union has released two memoirs, which both have helped her net worth. Besides career moves, Union has been outspoken about social issues including LGBTQ+ rights and women’s rights, and she and her husband are known for their charitable humanitarian efforts.

Dwyane Wade is reportedly worth $170 million

Dwyane Wade is best known for his NBA career with the Miami Heat, with whom he played from 2003-2016, then again from 2018-2019. He retired as a Heat player, but he did spend a little time with both the Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers in between. When Wade and Union met, both were at the height of their careers, and while they did split up briefly due to hectic schedules, they didn’t stay apart for long.

Today, Wade is worth an estimated $170 million, per Celebrity Net Worth, which is mostly due to his basketball career, but he’s also become involved in other business ventures. In 2021, Wade became part-owner of the Utah Jazz, an NBA team, and also invested in the Chicago Sky, a WNBA team, in 2023. Although Wade and Union have different net worths, they have been open about maintaining a 50/50 relationship in terms of finances and family responsibilities.
