Tyler Herro was born in Greenfield, Wisconsin when Jennifer and Chris Herro welcomed a
bouncing baby boy on Jan 20, 2000. He has two younger brothers named Austin and Myles
and they also play basketball currently in high school. They seem to be decent players.
Let’s see if the brothers have a pro career in the near future.
Career
Herro attended Whitnall High School in Wisconsin where he averaged 33 points,
7 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3.3 steals per game.
He was named to the all-state team and got offered numerous scholarships into prestigious programs
but committed to play for the University of Wisconsin after visiting their Madison
Campus on numerous occasions but as we all know, without a letter of intent, it's not official yet.
Herro changed his mind about playing for Wisconsin when he got approached by University of Kentucky
Coach and legendary recruiter John Calipari. He told Tyler that he would not be the best player
but he would be practicing with great players every day and that would help him get drafted.
That convinced Herro. His team included PJ Washington,
Keldon Johnson and Immanuel Quickley. Talk about stacked!
At Kentucky, Herro averaged 14 points,
5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists as he became the only player to start in all Wildcats games.
After his freshman year, Herro declared for the draft.
In the 2019 NBA Draft, he was chosen by the Miami Heat as the 13th overall pick.
Tyler averaged 13.5 points his rookie year and also made some history along the way.
He had a breakout spectacular playoff performance for the Heat that year.
He made the most 3’s by a rookie in a playoff and set a streak of longest
double digit scoring games in a row. 20 straight games.
Herro also he became the youngest player born in the 2000s to appear in NBA Conference Finals Game
and to start a Finals game.
Talk about starting off hot!
Herro increase his point to 15 points per game his sophomore stint and just finished his third
season with 20 points a game off the bench. Herro was named the NBA Sixth Man of the Year,
making him the first player in Heat franchise history to win the award.
Tyler’s game keeps improving. His All-Star caliber talent
and fearlessness make him a budding superstar.
Now we know a little about Herro’s b-ball career, let’s get into how he makes that chedder.
Contract
After being drafted by the Miami Heat, Herro signed a 4 year / $17million rookie contract.
Herro’s natural talent has impressed the Heat and they exercised a Club option for 2022 and
23 as part his rookie contract worth $4 million and $5.7 million respectively.
Tyler is eligible for rookie max extension worth about $32 million a year.
The rumors are the Heat want to give him about $25 million a year.
They might be wary of giving big max money to the Sixth man of the year. Tyler wants to start and
we think the Heat want to see how he does as a starter before giving Big Time Hoops money.
Let’s see how that plays out for him and Miami. But either way,
Tyler is going to get a huge raise in the new future.
With that Tyler Herro has a Net Worth of……Wait we’ll get to that in a bit.
Endorsements
Herro has always been a die-hard fan of Nike sneakers and has worn them
ever since he entered the league.
As a rookie, Herro had so much love for the Nike Kobe proto 5s and Nike
Zoom Freak 1 that he wore them almost every game.
Talk about a sneaker routine.
For Herro, his dream of becoming one of the faces of the biggest basketball
shoe brand became a reality as he signed a multi-year deal with Nike.
For Tyler, Nike is not the only fashion brand he has deals with as he has deals with Armani
Beauty and Hudson jeans that gave him creative control of his jeans design.
Herro is raking in the dough, baby! Let's see what he does with it.
Cars
Herro has an exotic taste in cars and takes pride in them.
Herro's car collection are quite breathtaking for a guy as young as him but I can't blame
him because if you've got the money, you probably would buy the finest things of life
Herro's got a few cars in his collection and I'm sure most of us will kill to have just one in our
driveway. The cars in his collections are: • Range Rover
• S-Class S63 AMG 2020 Mercedes, $220,000 with black rims
• 4 Door Jeep Wrangler customized for $60,000 Talk about cruising in style baby!
He bought his dad a GMC truck that cost a cool $40,000.
Tyler also bought a Porsche Cheyenne...but this one for his mom. He surprised her live
on Instagram and she was just like what? This black beauty has leather throughout and
rides as smooth as a Ray Allen Jumpshot. This one costs about $80,000. What a great son Tyler is.
Houses
Tyler has not bought a house in Miami as of yet. He rents and says that his rent is $5,000 a month.
So, $60,000 a year. Though a $5000 rent payment is huge for most of us, that is actually rather
affordable for an NBA player. Here is a quick shot of him shooting hoops in the front of his house.
He is still on a rookie-contract and has not gotten that big extension yet. So,
renting makes sense in this case. Anyhow, Herro said:
"I mean, who doesn't enjoy Miami and who lives in Miami.
I'm going to put in the work 24/7. That's what I do, I put the work in. Of course, I go outside
and enjoy the weather and enjoy everything else that comes with Miami. Work is always first."
Well, I agree with him, who doesn't love Miami? Those nice beaches,
the scene and that warm weather.
Fashion
Tyler Herro is a lover of shades that believes no matter the outfits he wears, his shades make
it classier and give it more style. He has been seen rocking the Gucci Havana Brown.
But he likes to switch it up with glasses and shades that add the flair but cool under pressure.
I'm sure this isn’t the last time you will see Tyler Herro wear shades with his outfits.
In an interview with GQ, Herro admitted that with his first big check he spent $85,000 on clothes,
$30,000 in jewelry and $10,000 on sunglasses.
Looks like Tyler Herro with be looking clean for a long, long time.
He also said he spent $20,000 on a personal chef and $10,000 in artwork.
Charity
Tyler has won the hearts of fans because he is someone who loves to impact people around him
and the community at large. He established a foundation called T Herro foundation.
His foundation's aim is to focus on initiatives that promote physical play,
wellness, and creativity by providing resources and opportunities to individuals.
He recently helped donate and give out backpacks to the needy in the community.
Tyler's giving is just getting started and he
hopes to do more the for the Miami and Wisconsin areas.
Songs
Jack Harlow is one of Herro’s friends and the rapper paid homage to Herro using his talents
and putting him in his music video. The song called “Tyler Herro” not only tells the short
story of Herro's rise to fame from being a child to becoming a star but also his impact
on the community. This one bumps and has a smooth flow. It has over 70 million views on YouTube.
Both of these Broskis (Bro-Skis) got that flow!
Love Life
Tyler is no doubt a talented shooter on the court but also shot his shot with the popular
Instagram model and fitness coach, Katya Elise Henry on Twitter during the pandemic in 2020.
She has over 8 million followers and might be even more popular than Tyler is.
She also has a YouTube Vlog channel that has almost 400k subscribers.
She is also the ex of Kyle Kuzma but they broke up a few years back.
Anyhow, two years later she and Herro and her are
still going strong and in a committed relationship.
In September 2021, Katya and Herro both became proud parents to a bouncing baby girl named Zya.
They recently posted a picture on their Instagram page announcing that they are expecting another
little bundle of joy with the caption: "Baby Hero #2 coming, Jan 2023".
They did say it was going to be a boy and they are super excited for the next addition in the family.
They have not tied the knot officially but let’s wait and see what the future holds for them.
Net Worth
Now is the time you have all been waiting for. How much is Tyler Herro worth?
With everything going on in Herro’s life, he has a net worth of $5 million dollars.
Money Bag in the building! Still young and with a big extension hopefully coming up,
