Russell Westbrook

Russell Westbrook is one of the best players in the NBA right now and he has proven so multiple times, no matter who doubts him. He has led the league in scoring twice, has been named to the All-Star team eight times and even has an MVP award under his belt. This paired with his hustle and competitive mentality have landed him large contracts and endorsements.

In 2017, Westbrook signed a 5-year $205 million extension through till 2023 with the OKC Thunder, the largest ever at the time. In the 2019-20 season, Westbrook is set to earn a whopping $38,178,000 from this contract alone.

The Jordan Brand, in 2017, signed Westbrook to what was called the "largest contract" in Jordan history. Westbrook had already signed with Jordan but he signed a 10-year extension, which also includes a fashion line, that was reportedly worth up to $200 million. This all amounts to a $150 million net worth for Westbrook, and we can expect no less from someone who has averaged a triple-double for each of the last three seasons.
