Jose Canseco got divorced two times and two of the divorce cost him about $7-$8 million dollars. That might also be the reason for him having a net worth of around $500 thousand dollars. He explained his financial circle to CBS News in order to clear out things. He said,
"You know my life, this financial thing, is a very complicated issue. Obviously, when you make all that money, people think, `OK, let's assume it is $35 million.' People have to understand that $35 million, you're paying the government 41 percent. That leaves you with about $17 or $18 million, not even. Then you're taking care of your whole family."
His five relationships include his girlfriend Jessica Sekely and Heidi Northcott.
