Steph Curry's new Warriors deal to propel him into NBA’s billion-dollar club

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry is on track to surpass $1 billion in career earnings, solidifying his status as one of the highest-paid athletes in NBA history. This milestone is set to be achieved following a one-year contract extension with the Warriors, which will see Curry earning $62.6 million for the 2026-27 season.

This news, first reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, highlights Curry's remarkable financial success both on and off the court. Curry’s latest deal adds to an already lucrative career. The two-time NBA MVP currently has two seasons remaining on a four-year, $215 million contract with the Warriors.

With this new extension, Curry’s career earnings from playing salaries will surpass the $500 million mark, placing him in an exclusive club alongside NBA legends like LeBron James and Kevin Durant. Both James and Durant are poised to join Curry in surpassing $1 billion in total career earnings, a feat previously accomplished by only James during an active playing career.

Stephen Curry’s other income sources!

Stephen Curry’s financial success is not confined to his NBA salary. Last season, he was the second-highest-paid NBA player, with a total income of $102 million, just behind LeBron James. Endorsements play a significant role in Curry's earnings, contributing an estimated $50 million annually. His roster of sponsors includes major brands like Callaway, CarMax, Rakuten, and Subway, but his most lucrative deal comes from his partnership with Under Armour.

Curry extended his long-term contract with the sportswear giant last year, becoming the president of the Curry Brand, a division of Under Armour focused on golf, women, and youth products. As part of this agreement, Curry received $75 million worth of restricted stock units, set to vest between 2029 and 2034.

By the time Curry’s new contract concludes, he will be 39 years old. Despite his age, his financial success is expected to continue, much like LeBron James, who remains a dominant force in earnings as he approaches 40. Curry and James have not only dominated the court but also the world of endorsements and business, making them two of the most financially successful athletes of their generation.
