In 2002, he signed a five-year rookie extension with the Raptors worth $62.9 million, again fully guaranteed. Carter played two more seasons with the Raptors, earning another $21.4 million before being traded to the New Jersey Nets. He played with the Nets for the remainder of the contract, earning the entire $62.9 million.

In 2007, he signed another five-year contract valued at $80 million, with $61.7 million guaranteed. Carter played two more seasons with the Nets, earning $28 million before being traded to the Orlando Magic. He earned $16.1 million with Orlando in 2009 and was traded to the Phoenix Suns in 2010, where he earned $17.5 million that season.

The Suns waived Carter in December 2011 following the NBA lockout, with the Suns only having to pay him $4 million out of the $18.3 million he was due. In the same month, he signed a three-year deal worth $9.27 million with the Dallas Mavericks. Carter earned $2.4 million with the Mavericks in 2011 and retained the $4 million he was owed by the Phoenix Suns.

Endorsement Deals

Vince Carter was heavily endorsed throughout his career, though his overall income from brand endorsements wasn’t widely reported in the media. What we do know is that his most lucrative partnership was, in all likelihood, with Nike. Carter signed with Puma early in his career but moved to Nike in 2000, signing a multi-year contract reportedly worth $30 million.

Interestingly, Vince reportedly signed with a multi-year contract with Puma in 1998, but was unhappy with the shoes. According to reports, he refused to wear them on the court and ultimately breached his contract. As a result, it’s widely believed that Carter owed Puma $13 million for backing out of the deal. Industry insiders believe that Nike actually helped Carter buy his way out of the deal, though this has never been confirmed.

In addition to shoe deals, Vince also partnered with a long list of brands, including:

• Bell Canada
• Cadbury
• Dave & Buster’s
• Fleer
• Gatorade
• Google Pixel
• Huupe
• KITH
• Nerf
• Wilson Sporting Goods

In August 2020, Vince Carter paid $6.687 million for an 11,748-square-foot, nine-bedroom mansion in Atlanta, Georgia. Carter still owns the property, which is now valued at $8.3 million. According to public records, he’s paying roughly $120,000 in property taxes each year.

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.
