Over his lifetime, Charles Barkley has amassed substantial wealth. However, his gambling addiction has also cost him a great deal of money. Although the precise amount of his losses is unknown (ranging from $10 million to $30 million, based on which Barkley’s interview is believed), he freely acknowledges that he has lost money on gambling.

Charles Barkley is one of the biggest individuals to have ever come onto an NBA court. Despite making a lot of money during his NBA career—money he might as well have lost entirely on gambling—the 1996 NBA MVP is currently a basketball analyst for Inside the NBA. He disclosed to Seth Davis on campus insiders that he has lost millions of dollars in a single day throughout his life.

I was gambling for too much money. I went to Vegas a bunch of times and won a million dollars in a weekend, probably ten times. But I also went to Vegas and lost a million probably 30 times.
Charles Barkley on his addiction

Barkley discussed his current thoughts on his gambling. Furthermore, he acknowledged that he does not lose as much money as he once did—mostly because he no longer makes as much of an effort to win or lose money as he did some years ago.

However, Barkley did acknowledge in their conversation with Davis that he had previously won, as well as lost $1 million in a single Las Vegas weekend. Furthermore, in his opinion, $1 million in either case isn’t particularly significant.

Charles Barkley finally became a champion

Charles Barkley might finally be able to claim the title of champion after being made fun of for years for not owning any rings. Barkley has always been the target of ridicule from the Inside the NBA crew because he is the only player with no championships. However, Barkley ended up taking on Kenny Smith and winning when the chance presented itself.

The Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns halftime report was hosted by the Inside the NBA crew. And suddenly Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley were standing up, racing each other to the back screen.
Charles Barkley emerged victorious from the race between the two NBA legends to the screen. Additionally, Barkley displayed zero mercy in victory following years of mockery and harassment.

The only host without any rings on the Inside the NBA panel is Charles Barkley. Kenny Smith has only won two rings, while Shaquille O’Neal has four. Shaquille O’Neal and the rest of the group could not stop laughing at the whole hilarious situation between the two former NBA players.
