Golden State Warriors superstar Curry is undoubtedly one of the NBA's most yellow duck athletes, having won three NBA championships, two regular season MVPs, and set a series of all-time records. Now the US media has written an analysis and assessment of Curry's net worth in 2022 of up to $160 million, which is still far from James's $500 million, but it is still the second place in the active star.
Curry currently earns about $50 million a year, and according to Forbes' 2019 list, Curry ranks 9th on the list of the world's highest-paid athletes, with basketball earnings of $79.8 million. That makes him an NBA player behind Los Angeles Lakers superstar James, who ranks eighth ($89 million).
Curry's biggest NBA contract to date was a $201 million extension he signed with the Warriors in 2017. The Golden State Warriors were at the height of their success, with Curry earning the league's highest salary over the past two seasons.
Like all athletes at their peak, Curry has cashed in on his popularity through multiple endorsements and collaborations with big brands. Some reports have even suggested that the 32-year-old earned more from endorsements than his actual salary in the NBA, with Curry earning $42 million in endorsements in 2019.
Curry has been a brand ambassador for UnderArmour since 2013, when he was initially signed by the up-and-coming company for $4 million. After the success of Curry's sneaker line, UA re-signed him in 2017 for more. The exact number of the deal is unclear, but the UA reportedly includes Curry's stake, which will reach hundreds of millions of dollars in the foreseeable future, and it is clear that all this will contribute to Curry's net worth in 2022.
Together with his wife, Ayesha, Curry founded the Charitable Foundation with the mission of ending child hunger. Over the years, the couple has donated countless amounts to charity, including helping during the pandemic.
