Four-time NBA champion Stephen Curry might be taking a little break from the court after falling on his knee during last Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, but he’s still at the top of his game this season.
Earlier this month, Curry was named Western Conference Player of the Week for the 20th time, becoming the 13th player in NBA history to win the award 20 times in his career.
The Golden State Warriors superstar guard has had a legendary career in the NBA so far—and has made millions doing so. Curry was the eighth highest-paid athlete in the world in 2023, according to Forbes, earning $100 million total for the year.
Curry has a net worth of $160 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
But he makes millions off the court, too—the NBA champion is a savvy investor and entrepreneur with many lucrative businesses and partnerships to his name.
