Jayson Tatum was the third overall pick drafted by the Boston Celtics in 2017. Now entering his sixth NBA season, Tatum has established himself to be one of the young elite players today.
He's a three-time All-Star, has two All-NBA selections, and made his first Finals appearance last season. Despite only accomplishing a few things, those achievements are undoubtedly elite stuff.
With that said, the Celtics are currently paying Jayson Tatum an average of $32.6 million annually. Tatum is currently signed to a five-year contract worth $163 million.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, the Celtics superstar was able to increase his net worth by up to $25 million from his current earnings. But where does his net worth rank amongst his fellow 2017 NBA draft class?
Looking at Jayson Tatum and the 2017 NBA Draft Class' Net Worth ranking
#1 Lonzo Ball ($35 Million)
Lonzo Ball is a professional basketball player with a net worth of $35 million. Ball is currently signed to a four-year deal with the Chicago Bulls worth $80 million. He previously made $33.4 million from the LA Lakers when he played for the team from 2017-2020.
Ball's business activities have mostly been connected to the Big Baller Brand clothing company owned by his family. Instead of committing to a brand endorsement with a major company such as Nike or Adidas, he utilized his own brand in official games.
The first sneaker manufactured by Lonzo Ball and his family, which cost $495 and contained his name, was made available in 2017. Despite not being one of the founders, Lonzo owns 51% of the Big Baller Brand.
#2 Jayson Tatum ($25 Million)
Jayson Tatum's net worth as of 2022 is $25 million. At the moment, Tatum receives an average annual salary from the Boston Celtics of $32.6 million. He is currently committed to a $163 million, five-year deal.
Unlike other superstars, most of his earnings come from his NBA salary alone. However, it won't be surprising either once brands start to recognize his face value.
#3 De'Aaron Fox ($20 Million)
De'Aaron Fox has a net worth of $20 million. Similar to Jayson Tatum, the majority of his earnings come from his NBA salary. Fox is currently signed to a five-year deal with the Sacramento Kings worth $163 million.
The Kings guard makes an estimated $32.6 million a year. He previously made $24.57 million in his first four-year contract with Sacramento.
#4 Josh Jackson ($8 Million)
Josh Jackson is one of the lesser-known entries on this list. He was the fourth overall pick selected by the Phoenix Suns in the 2017 NBA draft. Getting selected after Jayson Tatum entails a lot of expectations from the league. Unfortunately, he is currently a free agent and only has a net worth of $8 million.
#5 Markelle Fultz ($5 Million)
Markelle Fultz is one of the biggest busts in NBA draft history. He was the first overall pick selected by the Philadelphia 76ers. Going into the draft, he was one of the top prospects. However, due to injury problems upon getting drafted, Fultz was never the same player he once was and immediately became an afterthought.
He recently played for the Orlando Magic, wherein he's currently committed to a three-year deal worth $50 million. He's making at least $16.6 million a year. Fultz's net worth as of today is valued at $5 million.
