#6 Grant Hill - $250 million
During his lengthy NBA career, Grant earned $140 million in salary alone and another roughly $120 million from endorsements. In 1997, Grant signed a seven-year $80 million deal with Fila which was the largest shoe contract in history up to that point. In 2018 he signed a lifetime deal with Fila that will continue to pay Grant north of $10 million per year to endorse the company.
Adorned with 7 All-Star game appearances before foot and knee injuries derailed what could have been an all-time great career, Grant Hill was the prototype for the point forward position that a lot of the world's best players today play at. The likes of LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Ben Simmons and Blake Griffin have the former Duke NCAA champion to thank for paving the way for them.
