#5 James Harden - $50 million
The reigning 2017-18 Kia NBA MVP is one of the most instantly recognizable athletes across the sports world. His perfectly shaped beard and extremely wily style of play have earned him the nickname 'The Beard' over the years, following his decision not to cut his beard after getting drafted to the NBA in 2009.
Harden's profile has been on the rise ever since he was traded to the Houston Rockets, as he's made 6 straight All Star teams in addition to numerous other All-NBA accolades. The Rockets signed him to a 2-year extension on his already substantial deal in 2017, while his 13-year, $200 million deal with Adidas places his annual earnings (including his $30 million plus wages) at $50 million overall.
