    Shaq grew up right down the highway from me in NJ Dan 😉 3 years on me though, and by the time he reached high school age he was long gone. If he stuck around he’d have attended one of the North Jersey catholic school powerhouses that have churned out about 20 plus NBA players over the years.

Introduction 

Zion Williamson is an American professional NBA player for the New Orleans Pelicans with an estimated net worth of $18 Million.

Williamson is still relatively fresh into his NBA career, having just completed his rookie contract. 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.

  • Earned $77.6 million in salary thus far
  • Signed a five-year, $197.2 million extension with the Pelicans in 2023
  • Typically earns $12 million/year from endorsements
  • Signed a seven-year, $77 million endorsement deal with Jordan

 

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.

Total Career Earnings:$78,276,387

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!

Total Career Earnings:$241,733,420

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.

In 2007, Horford declared for the NBA Draft, and the ever-popular Atlanta Hawks selected him third overall. Horford immediately impacted the roster in his rookie season, earning a spot on the NBA All-Rookie First Team. His impressive performances continued throughout the following seasons, when he developed into one of the league’s most celebrated and talented centers.

While with the Hawks, Horford was selected to the NBA All-Star team five times, proving to be one of the best players in the league. His consistent performance helped the Hawks reach the playoffs multiple times, demonstrating his value to the team.

 

The Boston Celtics

In 2016, Al Horford signed with the Boston Celtics, bringing his talent and experience to one of the most storied franchises in NBA history. His arrival significantly boosted the Celtics, providing leadership and stability to the struggling team on and off the court. Horford played a crucial role in the Celtics’ playoff runs, helping the team reach the Eastern Conference Finals in 2017 and 2018.

After a brief stint with the Philadelphia 76ers and the Oklahoma City Thunder, Al Horford returned to the Boston Celtics in 2021. His return was met with enthusiasm from fans and teammates alike, as Horford brought valuable experience and a veteran presence to the young Celtics roster.

Al has one year remaining on his contract, which will pay him $9.5 million next season, and is staying in top form. Horford’s intentions to keep playing stem from his immense confidence in his physical condition and passion for the game.

If he maintains his performance, Horford might seek a new contract next offseason. His experience and leadership are valuable assets for the Celtics, and Horford’s presence will be crucial as the team navigates some potential roster changes and prepares for another competitive season.

Horford declined his 2019/20 player option, which could have netted him another $30.1 million with Boston for the season.

He earned $26.25 million for his only season with the 76ers before earning $27.5 million with the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2020.
