- Charles Barkley has two grandchildren through his daughter Christiana
- His grandson Henry is one year old, while his granddaughter Charlie Eliza, was born in May
- Charles Barkley explained that he wants his grandson to learn about his accomplishments on Google when he grows up
Charles Barkley is an NBA legend, someone that made it to the 75th Anniversary team, a former MVP, and an 11-time All-Star. After retiring, though, his life has only gotten better, and he is dominating his second career just as hard, becoming one of NBA television’s most loved personalities.
Outside of his professional accomplishments though, Charles Barkley is a true family man. He has a daughter Christiana, who has given him two grandchildren, a 1-year-old grandson named Henry and a granddaughter that was born in May and is named Charlie after him. In a recent interview, Barkley spoke lovingly about his grandson.
“It is, by far, the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me in my life,” Barkley said. “I want to spend time with him because… I’m not morbid, I’m not upset. I’m on the back nine — I hope I’m on hole 10 or 11, but I could be on 17 or 18.
“I want to spend as much time with him as possible, and then when he gets older, I want him to Google me.
“I hope he does some research on me. I’ll be long gone, but I would like him to know that I accomplished some things in my life.”

Charles Barkley has become one of the most famous people in America thanks to his basketball and media career, there’s no way his grandson won’t know everything he did.
His no. 34 is retired by the Philadelphia 76ers, and his legend will go on long after he is gone. Barkley is only 60 years old, too, so hopefully Henry won’t have to rely on Google and can learn about his grandfather’s life directly from the source.
Charles Barkley Once Joked About Leaving No Money For His Family
There is another way Charles Barkley could ensure that his grandchildren don’t ever forget him, and that is if he goes through with leaving no money for them. Charles Barkley is worth $60 million, and that number will only get larger as he continues to earn from his Inside The NBA contract with TNT worth well more than $100 million.
Barkley once joked that he would leave no money for his family and that he wants to be dead broke when he passes away. While he was probably joking, it would be a surefire way to ensure that his grandchildren don’t forget him. Although, that might not be how he wants to be remembered.
