Strange Things About Dwyane Wade And Gabrielle Union's Marriage

Dwyane Wade was hit with another round of online criticism in 2023 when Gabrielle Union told Bloomberg about their strict financial arrangement. Admitting that she has a "scarcity mindset" that's always made her anxious about money, she revealed, "In this household, we split everything 50/50." Critics instantly latched onto that revelation with many pointing out the discrepancy in their earnings, as Wade's net worth ($170 million) is more than four times his wife's ($40 million).

Wade addressed the controversy on "Club Shay Shay," emphasizing it only applies to big purchases they use as a couple or expenses linked to their kids. He also stressed that it was a mutual decision. "I don't make my wife do anything," he assured. He then explained that it started while they were living in Miami and the story, well, it didn't do much to paint him in a good light. "I said something about it being my house that I paid for," he recalled. "My wife looked at me and she was like, 'You will never say that to me again when it's something that we share.'" So when they moved to Los Angeles, she was very clear things would change, telling Wade, "I got half on it. You will never say 'My house' again."

Union later clarified her comments to ET, saying their arrangement only applies to "the big stuff" and joked, "Except his [travel] miles and points, which I took 100% of."
