author:Sub says sports

With four NBA championships, two MVP titles and a reputation as the top shooter in NBA history, Stephen Curry is undoubtedly one of the greatest basketball players of all time. He certainly lives up to his superstar status off the court, as evidenced by his wife, huge NBA salary, and golf TV shows.

salary

According to Forbes, Curry earned $92.8 million in 2022, making him the fifth-highest-paid athlete on the planet. Of that amount, $45.8 million came from his salary and bonuses, while endorsement fees accounted for $47 million.

He signed the NBA's first-ever $200 million contract in 2017, and when he agreed to renew his four-year, $215 million contract in 2021, he became the first player ever to sign two such contracts.

The 34-year-old has his own company – SC30 – that manages his investments, brand partnerships and other ventures. One such collaboration is with Under Armour – in 2020, the brand launched the Curry brand as a competitor to Nike's Jordan brand.

Wife

Curry married Canadian-American actress, cookbook author and culinary television personality Ayesha Alexander in 2011. The couple first met at a church youth group in Charlotte, North Carolina, when they were both teenagers, but didn't start dating until a few years later.

Born in Ontario, Canada, Ayesha attended high school in Charlotte before moving to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. She appears in a few minor roles and has a video show on food on the video network.

She has since written a cookbook and hosted the American edition of The Great British Bake. She founded her television and film production company, Sweet July Productions, in September 2020.

The couple had two daughters, born in 2012 and 2015, and a son in 2018.

Golf TV show

Aside from basketball, Curry's main hobby is golf. He started playing at the age of 10 and competed in celebrity golf tournaments.

That passion led him to appear on the host of ABC's sports reality show, Holey Moley. Competitors engage in a series of head-to-head duels on an oversized mini-golf obstacle course.

At the same time, as a very kind player, he gives people a warm feeling all the time, such a high-quality idol is really rare!
