Trevor Ariza spent his childhood in his hometown, where he was raised by his father, Trevor Saunders Ariza, and his mother, Lolita Ariza, however, the family re-located, and he went to Westchester High School in Los Angeles, California, where he started playing basketball for the school team, which he led to the California State championship. Upon matriculation, he enrolled in the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and continued playing college basketball. In his freshman year, he appeared in 25 games, averaging 11.6 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game. He was eventually named to All-Pac 10 Freshman Team, and so decided to participate in the NBA Draft.
Trevor’s professional playing career began when he was selected in the second round of the 2004 NBA Draft as the 43rd overall pick by the New York Knicks, so he signed a rookie contract, which marked the establishment of his net worth, actually becoming the youngest player ever to wear a Knicks jersey. As a rookie, he played in 80 games, averaging 5.9 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game.
In 2006, Trevor was traded to the Orlando Magic, playing there for a season and appearing in 57 games in which he averaged a career high 8.9 point and 4.4 rebounds per game. He started the following season as a part of the Los Angeles Lakers, and played for the team when they won the 2009 NBA Championship. By the end of the decade, he had also played for the Houston Rockets, which offered him a contract worth $33 million over the next five years, which he accepted; however, he did not play long there, but regardless, all of these moves added a considerable amount to his net worth.
Afterwards, Trevor was traded to the New Orleans Hornets in 2010 and two years later to the Washington Wizards, increasing his net worth by a large margin. He set a career-high with the Wizards with 40 points in the game against the Philadelphia 76ers, when they took a victory. In April of 2014, he had a playoff career-high with 30 points in the NBA Playoffs in the match against the Chicago Bulls.
To speak further about his playing career, Trevor returned to the Houston Rockets in 2014 and he still plays there, so his net worth is certainly still rising.
