• Projected to earn $43 million in salary for the 2024/25 season
• Lifetime earnings total $152.2 million from salary
• Signed a 5-year, $215.2 million extension with the Mavericks in 2022

NBA Salary

In 2018, Luka Dončić signed a four-year rookie contract worth $32.5 million with the Dallas Mavericks. The deal was initially guaranteed $14.2 million at signing, and the total contract value overall. For his first season in the league, Dončić earned $6.6 million.

In 2022, on his second NBA contract, Dončić signed a five-year $215.2 million rookie extension with the Mavericks, one of the most expensive rookie extensions in the NBA’s history. It remains the eighth-most-expensive NBA contract of all time. The deal was fully guaranteed and increased Dončić’s average annual salary from $8.1 million to $43 million. He is in his third year of the contract, having already earned $77.2 million in the past two years.

Thus far, in his short but highly successful NBA career, Luka Dončić has earned $109.1 million.

Endorsements

Luka Doncic has been ranked among the world’s highest-paid athletes for several years in a row. He first made the list in 2023, with an estimated $47.2 million in earnings. Roughly one-fifth of this figure ($10 million) was earned off the court through lucrative brand deals. The following year, Doncic’s off-court income grew by 50% to an estimated $15 million. He also earned an additional $15 million in 2025, bringing his total to $40 million over the past three years outside his regular NBA salary.

Doncic initially signed an endorsement deal with Nike before setting foot in the NBA. In 2017, while playing for Real Madrid, Doncic signed a two-year deal with Nike’s core brand. Two years later, he signed a five-year contract with Nike’s Jordan brand, reportedly worth up to $75 million, netting him $15 million/year. Pelicans star Zion Williamson also signed a five-year, $75 million contract with Jordan in the same year. Doncic has released three versions of his signature shoe, the Jordan Luka. The Jordan deal likely accounts for almost all of his annual endorsement income.

In addition to his apparel and footwear deal, Luka Doncic has also worked with the following companies:

• 2K Sports
• Bose
• Gatorade
• Hasbro
• Panini

BioSteel Investment

In 2021, sports nutrition and supplement brand BioSteel announced that Luka Doncic had received an equity stake in the company as part of a multi-year endorsement deal. The key point here is that his relationship with BioSteel began as a brand endorsement. Thus, we’re under the impression that he didn’t have to invest any of his own money to acquire the equity.

We should also mention that Doncic is not the only professional athlete to own a stake in BioSteel. Several other athletes, primarily NFL players such as DeAndre Hopkins, Patrick Mahomes, Ezekiel Elliott, and Jalen Ramsey, all hold equity in the company. Exactly what percentage of the company Doncic owns hasn’t been provided.  

Real Estate

In June 2020, Luka Doncic purchased a 5,225-square-foot, four-bedroom home in Dallas, Texas, for approximately $3.25 million. While the property was listed for $3.25 million just before Luka acquired it, we’re unable to confirm the closing price because Texas is a non-disclosure state. According to recent estimates, the home’s current value is roughly $4.2 million.

In 2025, Doncic purchased an 8,000-square-foot mansion in SoCal from Maria Sharapova. He paid $25 million for the five-bedroom, eight-bathroom property, which provided the former tennis player with an enormous profit on her investment.

Introduction

Carmelo Anthony is an American former professional NBA player with an estimated net worth of $160 Million.

Melo played 19 seasons in the league, racking up almost half a billion dollars in earnings, including an estimated $145 million from endorsements.

Quick facts

• Earned $262.5 million in salary while playing in the NBA
• Peak annual salary of $26.2 million in 2017
• Signed a 6-year, $40 million endorsement deal with Nike in 2003
• Earned an estimated $145 million from endorsements during his career

Net Worth History

When we first began tracking Carmelo Anthony’s net worth in 2022, he had just retired and was already estimated at $160 million. A significant portion of Melo’s wealth was built between 2012 and 2017, during which he earned $137 million in salary (just over 50% of his lifetime earnings). Based on our research, we estimate that one-third of Anthony’s net worth was generated through endorsement income. In 2024, estimates of his net worth remain at $160 Million.

Endorsements

Carmelo Anthony stacked a significant amount of cash through endorsements during his 19-season career. It’s estimated that slightly over one-third of his total earnings, $145 million, came from endorsement deals.

Anthony was the first athlete to officially have a signature shoe under the Nike Jordan brand, signing a six-year, $40 million deal in 2003. A year later, Carmelo released his first shoe, the Jordan Melo 1.5, named for blending the styles of the Jordan 1 and Jordan 2. In 2017, Jordan and Carmelo released their final shoe together, the Melo M13.

Anthony endorsed many other brands throughout his athletic career, including Samsung, Foot Locker, and IWC. It’s estimated that during the peak of his career, between 2012 and 2017, he earned approximately $8 million/year from endorsements. After his shoe deal with Nike ended, this figure dropped to a reported $6 million/year.

Divorce Settlement

In 2004, Carmelo Anthony became engaged to Alani “La La” Vazquez, and their son, Kiyan Carmelo Anthony, was born in 2007. Three years later, the couple married at Cipriani’s in New York City, and VH1 filmed the ceremony for its reality series La La’s Full Court Wedding. In the late 2010s, it appeared the couple was separating, with Alani allegedly already having moved out of Anthony’s apartment. She officially filed for divorce in June 2021, citing irreconcilable differences.

This led to extensive media speculation about potential alimony/child support payments. Alani had signed a prenuptial agreement before the couple tied the knot, and thus, a 50/50 split of the couple’s assets was unlikely. At the time, initial reports suggested Carmelo might have to pay as much as $60,000 per month in child support. However, later estimates put the range at $15,000 to $25,000 per month. 

Nonetheless, since their son Kiyan was born in 2007, he would have been around 14 years old at the time of the divorce. Thus, regardless of the figure, Melo would only be required to pay child support for approximately four years. Based on the estimated figures, this would place Carmelo’s total child support obligations at between $720,000 and $1.2 million. That said, this is all based on legal experts’ opinions, and none of the official details were ever disclosed to the public.

Real Estate

Carmelo Anthony has owned several properties over the years, primarily in Colorado and New York City. Unfortunately, none of his real estate purchases has been the wisest of investments. For the three homes we’re about to discuss, he paid a total of $26.5 million. He has since sold all of these homes, receiving a gross sale value of $20.2 million. This figure doesn’t account for property taxes, listing fees, or agent commissions.

Lakewood Mansion

In April 2004, Carmelo Anthony paid $3.5 million for a 12,836-square-foot mansion in Lakewood, Colorado. The seven-bedroom, ten-bathroom property was built in 2002 and overlooks a reservoir. Among the home’s amenities are a wet bar, a game room, a gym, and a home theater. Carmelo ultimately sold this property exactly three years later, for $3.5 million as well. He would have incurred a substantial loss after accounting for agent commissions and property taxes.

Littlewood Mansion

Following the sale, Carmelo upgraded to an even larger mansion in Littlewood, Colorado. This 21,083-square-foot mansion, featuring eight bedrooms and fifteen bathrooms, cost the former NBA player $12 million. It sits on 5.74 acres and features a separate guest house, a 7-car garage, a gym, and a horse-stall barn.

Unfortunately, his timing couldn’t have been worse. His purchase occurred just one year before the 2008 financial crisis, which destroyed property values across the country. When Carmelo returned the property to the market in 2011, he was asking for just $9.5 million. He let it go for $6.18 million in June that year. That’s almost a $6 million loss before accounting for commissions and taxes.

NYC Condo

Finally, in 2015, Anthony paid $11 million for a 4,556-square-foot, five-bedroom, four-bathroom condo in New York City. He listed the property for sale at $12.85 million in 2020, with no takers. Two years later, he relisted it at $12.5 million. It sold for just $10.5 million in 2023.

Philanthropy

Along with his expensive homes, Anthony also gave generously to various charities and institutions, including $1.5 million to the Living Classrooms Foundation, $3 million to Syracuse University for its basketball program, and $35,000 to relief efforts following the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake.
