Stephen Curry is set to reach $101.9 million in total earnings this new season
While Curry‘s on-court earnings are set to make NBA history, his off-court ventures play a pivotal role in boosting his total income.
His various entrepreneurial endeavors, including a flourishing media business with Unanimous, are expected to contribute an impressive $50 million to his overall earnings for the 2023-2024 season. This will bring his total earnings for the season to an astounding $101.9 million.
Curry’s recent contract extension with Under Armour in March, accompanied by $75 million in stock, sets the stage for a prosperous post-retirement period. This deal not only secures his financial future but also cements his status as one of the most marketable athletes in the world.
As Curry continues to make history on the court and capitalize on his off-court ventures, he remains a shining example of how talent, hard work, and astute financial decisions can lead to unparalleled success in the world of professional sports.
