Is Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry a billionaire?
Stephen Curry is one of the best players on the planet in his own right, while some would even call him one of the best players of all time. Curry is one of the most recognised players in the game right now, and enjoys a worldwide influence because of his influential style of play – the Golden State Warriors man changed the game with his revolutionary ability.
Apart from his influence and an incredible career spanning over 13 years that has seen him win four NBA Championship titles, two MVPs and a Finals MVP, Curry is also known for being one of the most marketable players on the planet – and enjoys plenty of endorsement deals. Naturally, one of the most asked questions about Curry is that is he in the billionaire club?
Curry was recently in the news once again after it was revealed that he is close to signing a lifetime contract with Under Armour worth a billion dollars. The news made fans ask if Curry is a billionaire, and as it turns out – Curry has quite some way to go in order to join the club.
According to Forbes, Curry currently has a net worth of $92.8million as of May 2022. The Golden State Warriors superstar earns a yearly salary of $45.8million (courtesy of signing the first $200million contract in NBA history in 2017) and earns $47million courtesy of his various endorsement deals, adding up to his net worth of $92.8billion – quite some way off a billion.
Therefore it turns out that Curry is yet to join esteemed company in the NBA billionaire club.
As it turns out, there are only a couple of names present in the NBA billionaire club.
Only Michael Jordan with a net worth of $1.7billion and LeBron James with a net worth of $1.2billion have crossed the billion mark.
While Jordan became the first NBA player ever to become a billionaire, LeBron James followed his path to make history as the first active NBA player to join the billionaire club – both through their playing careers as well as endorsements.
Curry has plenty of catching up to do if he wants to touch the billion mark anytime soon.
