#7 Dwyane Wade - $14 Million

Major Sponsors - Panini, Gatorade, New Era, Hublot, Li Ning Company Limited

Dwyane Wade's career arc might be headed downwards but that's certainly not the case when it comes to earnings off the court. Obviously, athletically he's not as able as he was in the previous decade but he's made use of his time in the league to find new ways of creating partnerships that could be fruitful.

He's 35 years old but ranks 7th.

Just like every player on this list, a majority of his earnings come through a shoe deal. And similar to Klay, D-Wade's also taken a different path. Signing with Chinese company Li-Ning in 2012 not only gives him millions of dollars annually but it's also a company he has an equity stake in.

He also continues to make appearances with his deals with Hublot, New Era and Gatorade.
