7. Kevin Durant – $575 Million
Just behind LeBron James on the lists of highest paid athletes in basketball, NBA star Kevin Durant has a career salary earnings of about $575 million. Despite his membership in La La Land, his contracts with Brooklyn Nets, Golden State Warriors and now Phoenix Suns have been top tier deals paid just to keep him in the NBA.
Having one of the very highest salaries earners on multiple contracts is proof, in Durant’s case, that he is one of the most valuable players in the league.
