Former professional American football wide receiver and reality star Chad Ochocinco Johnson is worth $15 million. He spent eleven seasons in the National Football League (NFL) playing for the Cincinnati Bengals, New England Patriots, and the Miami Dolphins.

In a 2013 legal battle concerning child support, he declared assets of $5 million, while revealing he was losing about $45,000 monthly for child support alongside expenses like mortgages, food, and car payments. At that time, his monthly income was $3,000, roughly $36,000 annually.

By November 2021, during a “Full Send” podcast appearance, Chad claimed a wealth exceeding $5 million, even showing he had $15 million in the bank.

Early Life and College Journey

Born on January 9, 1978, in Miami, Florida, Chad Javon Johnson attended Miami Beach Senior High School before heading to Langston University, later transferring to Santa Monica College for football. In 2000, he joined Oregon State University after recruitment by their football coach Dennis Erickson.

Beginning his NFL career in 2001 with the Cincinnati Bengals as the 36^th pick in the second round, Johnson excelled early on, setting a franchise record in 2005 with 1,432 yards. Despite making the Pro Bowl team six times, the Bengals released him in 2010 due to his disruptive behavior. Subsequently, he had short stints with the New England Patriots and the Miami Dolphins, the latter cut short due to a domestic abuse arrest.

Although he signed with the Montreal Alouettes in the CFL in 2014, he played only five regular-season games that year. Following a suspension in 2015, he had a brief appearance in the Liga de Futbol Americano Professional de Mexico in 2017.

Moniker Modification

To honor Hispanic Heritage Month, Johnson embraced the name “Ocho Cinco,” interpreting to “eight five” in Spanish, matching his jersey number, 85. He legally changed his name to Chad Javon Ochocinco on August 29, 2008, with the Bengals allowing it on his jersey for the 2009 season. He reverted to “Johnson” on his 2012 jersey to uphold Reebok’s contract. The transition back to “Johnson” was formalized in 2012.

Extra Ventures and Interests

Besides NFL, Chad engaged in diverse projects. In 2010, he co-designed the iPhone game “Mad Chad” with RockLive. He also competed in season ten of “Dancing with the Stars,” reaching the final four with partner Cheryl Burke. His endeavors include starring in his VH1 reality dating show “Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch” and contributing to EA’s 2006 video game “NFL Street 3” as a cover athlete and tutorial narrator.

Private Life

In early 2010, Johnson commenced a relationship with Evelyn Lozada, culminating in a November engagement and a July 2012 marriage. However, after his August 2012 arrest for domestic battery led to his Miami Dolphins release, Lozada filed for divorce three days later, finalized in September 2012. A plea deal for a year of probation led Johnson to serve a brief jail period for probation violation in 2013.

Johnson has eight children.

Financial Legal Matters

In November 2012, Johnson faced a lawsuit from the mother of one of his children, fueling headlines…

Allegations arose about Johnson, an out-of-work football player, for failing to fulfill child support payments. According to a court filing from June 2013, Chad revealed monthly losses of $45,000, with an income of just $3000. Expenses included $16,000 for child support, $9000 for mortgages, $3000 for food, $3000 for car payments, listing total assets at nearly $5 million, owning two houses and two luxury cars.

The data pertains to 2023 and 2024, with forecast figures extending to 2025, 2026, 2027, and 2028.
