Though the Philadelphia 76ers legend Allen Iverson has not played in the league for over 10 years, Reebok is still paying him $800,000 per year. The deal Iverson signed years ago is said to have saved the 76ers star from going bankrupt after his NBA career ended. As per Action Network's business analyst Darren Rovell, Iverson will have access to the $32 million Allen Iverson Reebok Trust Fund when he turns 55 in 2030.

In 2001, Iverson signed a deal with Reebok that would pay him $800,000 a year throughout his lifetime. However, the deal included a $32 million trust fund which he would receive only after he turns 55 ten years later. This deal with Reebok was revealed after his ex-wife filed for divorce. She will now receive half of the trust when it matures.
Last year, the CEO of Reebok International Ltd Matt O'Toole stated that they think Iverson is an iconic basketball personality and continues to remain relevant for many of their customers, making him worth the money they are paying him. The 76ers legend won the NBA MVP award in 2001, after which he signed with Reebok and then-CEO Paul Fireman.
