With five seasons under his belt, Zion has averaged 22.9 points per game and a salary of $15.5 million per year. Thus far, Williamson has earned $77.6 million in base salary and additional income from endorsements estimated to be between $50-$60 million.

• Signed a five-year, $197.2 million extension with the Pelicans in 2023

Net Worth History

We first researched Zion Williamson’s net worth in 2020. He was estimated to be worth $8 million back then, but that was when he only earned $9 million yearly. Since then, he’s gained an additional $68 million in salary and roughly $50-$60 million from endorsements.

In 2024, Zion Williamson’s net worth is estimated to be $18 Million. 

High School Basketball

Zion Williamson started making a name for himself in high school, winning the Under Armour Elite 24 showcase dunk contest. 

During his junior season, Williamson went viral with his highlight videos, and Drake even wore his jersey in an Instagram post. After surpassing 2,000 points in January 2017, Williamson appeared on the cover of Slam and received All-USA First Team Honors. 

Williamson finished his high school career as South Carolina’s Mr. Basketball and the runner-up to Mr. Basketball USA. In a live interview on ESPN, Williamson committed to attending Duke University, playing his first game for them in November 2018. 

Duke University

Zion Williamson started his collegiate career strong and was named the Atlantic Coast Conference Freshman of the Week. Soon after, he broke the record for the most points recorded in a single game and was named ACC Freshman of the Week once more. 

Unfortunately, in February 2019, Williamson was benched with a knee sprain after his shoe broke, causing him to slip. Following the incident, Nike’s stock dropped $1.1 billion, while Williamson earned Rookie of the Year and Player of the Year honors. He then appeared in the NCAA Tournament, joining Kevin Durant and Anthony Davis as the third freshman to earn 500 points, 50 steals, and 50 blocks in a season. 

New Orleans Pelicans

After entering the 2019 NBA draft, the New Orleans Pelicans selected Zion Williamson with the first pick. 

Unfortunately, Williamson tore the cartilage in his knee during the preseason, delaying his debut until January 2020. However, once he was on the court again, Williamson wasted no time making a name for himself and racking up points. In his first eight games, he scored at least 20 points in four consecutive games, the longest 20+ point streak by a rookie Pelican. 

Soon after, he surpassed Carmelo Anthony as the first teenager to score at least 20 points in 10 consecutive games in NBA history. He became the first rookie since Michael Jordan to earn 16 20-point games within their first 20 contests. 

Success & Injury

Following his rookie season, Zion Williamson tied Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s record for the longest 20-point streak in his first two seasons. His streak eventually surpassed Wilt Chamberlin and Karl Malone’s streaks, tying him with Shaquille O’Neal’s record of 25. 

While things were going well for the basketball star, during the 2021 off-season, he suffered a fracture in his foot and underwent surgery. Williamson missed the entirety of the 2021-2022 season, but in July 2022, he signed a five-year extension with the Pelicans. 

He returned in October 2022 and earned Western Conference Player of the Week honors before being sidelined with a hamstring injury in January. Ultimately, he ended up sitting out the rest of the season and returning in November 2023. Although he returned strong, on April 16, 2024, he suffered another injury during a game against the L.A. Lakers.

NBA Salary

In 2019, Zion Williamson signed a four-year rookie contract worth $44.3 million with the New Orleans Pelicans. The deal was initially guaranteed at $20 million at signing and was fully guaranteed overall.

Williamson earned $9.15 million for his first season in the NBA, which is incredibly high for a rookie’s first season. His annual salary increased to $10.2 million in 2020 and $10.7 million in 2021, reaching $13.5 million for the final year of his contract.

In 2023, Williamson signed his five-year rookie extension with the Pelicans, valued at $197.2 million. Again, the deal is fully guaranteed and increases Williamson’s average annual salary from $11.1 million to $39.5 million. He earned $34 million last season and is estimated to earn $36.7 million in the upcoming 2024/25 season.

Thus far in his NBA career, Zion Williamson has already earned $77.7 million with an additional $157.7 million in guarantees remaining.

Endorsements

As the number one pick in the 2019 NBA draft, brands lined up to sign high-value endorsement deals with Zion Williamson. The year the Pelicans selected him, a bidding war took place to obtain Zion on a shoe endorsement contract, with Nike winning out over the competition.

Williamson signed a 7-year deal with Nike Jordan worth $75 million, averaging $10.8 million/year. It was recorded as the most valuable NBA shoe deal since Nike signed LeBron in 2003. Zion released his first signature shoe, the Jordan Zion 1, in April 2021, and he has since released two more.

In the same year he signed with Nike, it was reported that Williamson signed a multi-year deal with Gatorade, which is estimated to earn him a 7-figure sum annually. Thanks to his big brand deals with Nike and Gatorade, Forbes estimated Zion Williamson’s endorsement income to be $20 million in 2020.

Williamson has also worked with brands such as:

• Bolt 24
• Mountain Dew (Commercial with Zach LaVine)
• NBA2K
• Slam
• Starry

Estimates of Zion’s annual endorsement income fell significantly to $12 million for 2023.

Real Estate

In May 2020, Zion Williamson reportedly paid $730,000 for a 5,954-square-foot, five-bedroom home in New Orleans, Louisiana. The property had previously been listed for $874,500 and was pending sale at $839,900. Williamson still owns the house.

John Wall is an American professional NBA player with an estimated net worth of $110 Million. 

Wall was chosen with the first overall pick of the 2010 NBA draft by the Wizards after playing one year of college basketball for the Kentucky Wildcats. He was named to his first All-NBA Team in 2017.

Quick Facts

• Lifetime earnings total $276.5 million
• Signed a four-year, $171.1 million extension in 2019
• Peak annual salary of $47.3 million in 2022
• Signed a five-year, $25 million endorsement deal with Reebok in 2010
• Rejected a $66 million endorsement deal from Adidas

Net Worth History

When we started tracking John Wall’s net worth in 2020, he was worth an estimated $60 million. This figure was evaluated just after Wall completed the first season of his $171.1 million contract, earning $38.2 million for the year. Prior to this, Wall’s lifetime salary totaled $107.8 million. 

Since then, he’s earned a further $130 million in salary, plus additional income through endorsements and sponsors. This effectively means that his wealth has grown exponentially over the last four years he played in the league. As of 2024, John Wall’s net worth is estimated at roughly $110 Million. 

Career Overview

Before turning pro, John Wall played college basketball for the University of Kentucky and debuted in a match against Miami University. 

In 2009, Wall set the single-game assist record for Kentucky with 16 assists and only one turnover. Setting himself apart on the court, jabber arose about John Wall entering the draft in 2009, though he wasn’t eligible then. However, the following year, he elected to forgo his three seasons left with Kentucky and enter the NBA Draft instead. 

The Washington Wizards

Upon entering the draft, John Wall was expected to be the Washington Wizards’ first overall pick, which he was. Named the most valuable player of the 2010 Las Vegas Summer League, Wall cemented his place as a skilled player right out of the gate. 

During his third game, he tied the NBA record with 9 steals and became the second player to earn nine assists in his first 3 games. His skills continued to shine into his sophomore season when he was selected for the NBA All-Star Weekend Rising Stars Challenge. 

Unfortunately, the beginning of the 2012-13 season started off with a knee injury that sidelined him for the first few games. However, he made a comeback, ending the season with an average of 18.5 points, 7.6 assists, and 4 rebounds per game. 

A New Contract

In 2013, he was made a Washington Wizards designated player and signed a 5-year contract worth $80 million. The following season, he set the Wizards’ playoff record for assists, with 17 during a match against the Toronto Raptors. 

While his success continued to mount, he was temporarily slowed in 2016 due to needing surgery on both knees. Fortunately, this didn’t keep him sidelined for long, and it wasn’t long before he was back on the court, setting career records. 

Season-Ending Injuries

After signing an additional 4-year contract with the Wizards for $170 million in 2017, he missed 9 games due to another knee injury. This was followed by another knee surgery in 2018, which sidelined him for two months during recovery. 

Although he was back in action by November, the following month, he suffered a heel injury and needed season-ending surgery. To make things worse, he then developed an infection and ruptured his Achilles tendon after a fall at home. Since he required at least a year to heel, he was effectively removed from the 2020 season. 

The Houston Rockets

In December 2020, John Wall was traded to the Houston Rockets for Russell Westbrook, along with a 2023 lottery first-round pick. Despite his past injuries, Wall earned his eighth triple-double during a 117-99 win against the Toronto Raptors in 2021. 

While things seemed to be looking up for him, unfortunately, a hamstring strain ended up ending his season early, not long after this achievement. During the 2021-2022 season, Wall and the Rockets agreed on a contract buyout, ending his time with the team. 

The Los Angeles Clippers

John Wall was signed to the L.A. Clippers in July 2022, making his debut with them in September against the Lakers. However, in February 2023, he was traded back to the Houston Rockets during a three-team trade. Wall was waived three days after the trade and has been a free agent since, but he is looking to get back into the game. 

In November 2023, Wall was practicing with the South East Melbourne Phoenix as an ownership group member. We expect to see him back in the NBA soon, especially given how talented he has proven to be!

NBA Salary

When John Wall forwent his final three seasons of eligibility to enter the 2010 NBA draft, he signed a four-year rookie contract worth $24.1 million with the Washington Wizards. Wall earned $5.1 million in his first NBA season, $4.4 million in the 2011/12 season, $5.9 million in the 12/13 season, and $7.5 million for the final year of his contract.

In 2014, Wall signed a five-year rookie extension valued at $84.8 million with the Wizards. This increased his average annual salary from $6 million to $16.9 million. By the final year of the contract, Wall was earning $19.2 million annually.

In 2019, he signed a four-year veteran extension worth $171.1 million at Washington. He played with the team for one more season, earning $38.2 million, before being traded to the Houston Rockets in 2020. Wall was active with the Rockets for the 20/21 season but had to sit out toward the end of the season due to a hamstring strain.

In 2021, he reached a mutual decision with Houston not to play, and a year later, the Rockets bought out his contract. Wall earned $40.9 million from the Rockets for the year despite not playing. He would also briefly play for the LA Clippers, earning $4.3 million, but is currently a free agent.

Thus far in his NBA career, John Wall has earned $276.5 million.

Endorsements

Shortly after being selected in the 2010 NBA draft, John Wall signed a five-year, $25 million endorsement deal with Reebok. After three years with Reebok, Wall moved to the brand’s parent company, Adidas. He remained with the brand until 2019, having earned an average of $5 million/year through shoe endorsements since the beginning of his career.

Adidas offered Wall a new deal valued at $66 million over eight years, or $8.25 million/year, but it was turned down. Wall apparently wasn’t happy with the amount he was being offered when other stars, such as James Harden, earned twice as much with the brand.

Since then, his endorsement income has shrunk significantly; however, he still earns an estimated $500,000/year from sponsors such as Hugo Boss. 

Real Estate

North Carolina Home

In December 2010, John Wall paid $745,000 for a 4,573-square-foot Raleigh, North Carolina home. He listed this property for sale in March 2024, asking for $1.2 million. A month later, it sold for the asking price, likely netting Wall at least $300,000 in profit.

Maryland Mansion

In August 2013, John Wall paid $4.9 million for a 16,479-square-foot, seven-bedroom mansion in Potomac, Maryland. The home includes a full-size indoor basketball court, home cinema, sauna, billiard room, bar, and home gym. In October 2021, Wall listed this property for sale with an asking price of just $4.25 million. It sold a month later for $4.4 million. After considering listing fees and property taxes, he potentially lost close to $1 million on his investment.

Introduction 

Klay Thompson is an American professional NBA player for the Dallas Mavericks with an estimated net worth of $90 Million.

Thompson is credited as one of the greatest shooters in NBA history. A three-time NBA champion with the Warriors, he is a five-time NBA All-Star and a two-time All-NBA Third Team honoree.

Quick Facts

• Projected to earn $15.9 million in salary for the 2024/25 season
• Peak annual salary of $43.2 million in 2023
• Lifetime career earnings recently surpassed $266 million
• Signed a 3-year, $50 million contract in 2024
• Earns $8 million/year from his ANTA shoe endorsement deal

Net Worth History

When we started tracking Klay Thompson’s net worth in 2021, he was estimated to be worth $38 million. Up to that point, he’d earned roughly $109 million in salary. Since then, he’s earned an additional $157 million in salary. He’s also earned at least $40 million from his ANTA endorsement deal. By 2023, he was worth an estimated $90 million. As of 2024, we’re estimating Klay Thompson’s net worth to be approximately $90 Million.

Career Overview

Klay Thompson started his career, like Marcus Trufant, at Washington State University, making the Pac-10 All-Freshman Team his first year. 

As a sophomore, he led the Cougars to the Great Alaska Shootout Championship and was named its Most Outstanding Player. That year, he also became the third-fastest Cougar to reach 1,000 points, earning him Pac-10 Player of the Week honors twice in a row. 

When he was a junior, he became the third player in Cougar history to win first-team all-district honors twice. After recording 43 points during the 2011 Pac-10 Tournament, he declared himself for the 2011 NBA Draft to begin his professional career. 

His Early Years

Klay Thompson was selected 11th overall by the Golden State Warriors, the same team that helped make Kevin Durant so wealthy.  His first season with the team saw his skills improve exponentially, and he was voted to the NBA All-Rookie First Team. 

In 2013, head coach Mark Jackson said Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry were the best shooting duo in the NBA’s history. Curry and Thompson combined to make 483 three-pointers, the most ever scored by an NBA duo at that time. 

Thompson signed a four-year contract extension with the Warriors in 2014 and scored a career-high 41 points the next day. Shortly after, he set an NBA record by scoring 37 points in a single quarter, also a league record at the time. 

By the end of the season, with Thompson’s help, the Golden State Warriors won the NBA Championships for the first time in 40 years. 

Nothing But Net

Thompson opened the first six games of the 2016 season and became the first Warrior to score 60 points since Rick Barry in 1974. Aside from that, Thompson also helped the Warriors win their second championship in three years, becoming the first in history to start the playoffs 12-0.

His winning streak extended to the 2017 season when the Warriors went on to sweep the series, earning a third NBA Championship title. 

In 2018, he hit the NBA record of 14 threes, breaking Curry’s former record of 13, and he was named to the NBA All-Defensive team for the first time. 

Unfortunately, after enjoying consecutive successful seasons, he suffered from a torn ACL at the end of 2018, which sidelined him. Due to losing such a star player, the Golden State Warriors went on to lose the series 114-110 to the Toronto Raptors.

While many of the highest-paid athletes in the world have dealt with game-ending injuries, it was undoubtedly a blow to Thompson.  

Injuries And Comebacks

Klay Thompson opted to stay with the Golden State Warriors in 2019, signing a five-year contract for $190 million. The next day, he underwent surgery on his ACL, though recovery forced him to miss the entirety of the 2019-20 season. 

While he returned to practice in September 2020, it was announced in November that he would miss the upcoming season due to an Achilles tendon injury. Thompson was assigned to the Santa Cruz Warriors, Golden State’s NBA G League affiliate, shortly after for rehab. 

Despite missing two seasons, Klay Thompson returned in January 2022 in a game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. In Game 3 of the playoffs, he scored 26 points and passed Hall of Famer Ray Allen for third on the NBA playoffs all-time three-pointers list. 

Making his comeback even sweeter was that, shortly after, he passed LeBron James for second on the NBA Finals all-time three-pointers list as well. Thanks to Thompson’s return to the court, the Golden State Warriors won another NBA Championship, the fourth of his career. 

No Sign Of Stopping

At the start of 2023, Thompson became the only player in NBA history to record multiple games with over 12 three-pointers in a season. Towards the end of the year, he made his 300th three-pointer in a runaway victory against the Portland Trail Blazers. 

Entering the 2023-24 season, he started strong, nailing five three-pointers during a 106-95 win against the Houston Rockets. 

However, during a game in November, he was involved in a brawl on the court with Timberwolves center Jaden McDaniels, which spiraled out of control. Both players, along with Draymond Green, who put Rudy Gobert in a headlock, were fined $25k each for their part in the altercation. 

Despite this hiccup, in December, Thompson made NBA history again, earning 14,455 career points total, putting him ahead of Rod Strickland on the All-Time Scoring list. 

Although he has been playing for over a decade, it’s evident that Klay Thompson hasn’t lost a bit of the skill that’s helped make him successful. While he could retire now and enjoy his wealth, he has made no mention of stepping away from the court any time soon!

NBA Salary

In 2011, Klay Thompson signed a four-year rookie contract with the Golden State Warriors worth $9.7 million. Thompson earned $1.7 million in his first NBA season, and his annual salary consistently increased yearly, reaching $3.1 million in 2014.

In 2015, Thompson signed a new four-year contract worth $68.9 million with the Warriors, increasing his average annual salary from $2.4 million to $17.2 million. The deal was fully guaranteed, and Thompson’s highest earning year on the agreement was 2018 when he earned $18.98 million.

In 2020, he signed a new five-year contract worth $189.9 million with the Warriors. He earned $32.7 million for the contract’s first year, increasing to $43.2 million for the fifth and final year.

Thompson secured $187.9 million of the contract’s value before it expired in 2024. His legendary run with the Warriors ended in June 2024 when Thompson chose to sign a three-year, $50 million contract with the Dallas Mavericks.

Thus far in his NBA career, Klay Thompson has earned $266.2 million.

Endorsements

In the early days of his NBA career, Klay Thompson had an endorsement deal with Nike, but the details were never publicly disclosed. However, in 2014, he switched to the Chinese shoe manufacturer ANTA, securing a three-year, $9 million deal. Through his partnership with the brand, Thompson released his first signature shoe, the KT1.

Thompson earned $3 million/year with ANTA until 2017, when he negotiated a ten-year extension worth $80 million with the brand. His annual payments from ANTA increased by $5 million compared to the previous deal. Thompson has since released nine shoe models with the company, the most recent being the ANTA KT9.

Although his shoe deal earns him a minimum of $8 million annually, Thompson’s overall endorsement income is estimated at $20 million annually. Other NBA players who have partnered with the brand include Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward.

Many of the remaining millions can be attributed to bonuses and royalties. However, KT also earns from various sponsorships with brands such as Waiakea Water, Bevel, Mercedes-Benz, Tissot, and NERF.

Real Estate

In February 2015, Klay Thompson paid $2.2 million for a 2,433-square-foot, three-bedroom home in Dana Pt, California. Recent Google satellite images of the property show that it has been entirely remodeled since he bought it. The original single-story building featured a U-shape with an outdoor courtyard and swimming pool in the center, which has now been replaced by a two-story structure.

According to property tax assessments, the home’s perceived value now sits at $4.1 million, with Klay paying roughly $42,000 in annual taxes. Despite being traded to the Dallas Mavericks, he still owns the property.
