Among the best point guards in NBA history is Chris Paul. Currently ranked third on the NBA’s all-time assists list, he is a twelve-time All-Star. Have you ever wondered how an NBA great like Paul survives, given his skill on the court? Well, you need not wonder anymore.

Paul joined James Harden on the Houston Rockets after playing brilliantly for the New Orleans Hornets and Los Angeles Clippers but without a championship to show for it. Even though the Rockets advanced to the Western Conference Finals twice in a row, Paul was never able to win an NBA championship or even make it to the Finals.

Paul and his wife spent approximately $6.9 million on a 10,000 square foot villa that Paul purchased in 2018 while he was a player for the Rockets. But Paul’s tenure in H-Town came to an end when the Rockets traded him to the Oklahoma City Thunder following the 2018–19 campaign.

As a result, he listed the same house for $8.3 million when he first put it on the market. In the end, the Paul family agreed to a $7.2 million transaction. Which is fortunate because he was later traded to the Phoenix Suns, who traded Paul to the Washington Wizards in June 2023 after re-signing him for one season.
