Steph Curry, Earning $60M Annually With a $240M Fortune, Calls Out NBA Pay Structure

In the 2024–2025 NBA season, Steph Curry ranked as the highest-paid player, earning $55 million, a figure expected to approach $60 million in the following season. The Golden State Warriors' valuation is projected at $8.8 billion, according to Forbes. Despite his estimated net worth of $240 million and career earnings surpassing $410 million, Curry asserts that compensation for players like him remains insufficient relative to the substantial revenues the league generates.Curry emphasized that even as the third-highest earner behind LeBron James and Kevin Durant, he receives only a small slice of the financial pie. He expressed, “I don’t really worry about my net worth,” noting his focus on cultivating a legacy reflecting wealth aspirations. The NBA’s revenue reached approximately $10.247 billion for the 2024–2025 season. Nevertheless, player ownership of team equity is prohibited, fueling Curry's belief that players deserve greater financial participation in the league’s growth.
