Kevin Durant has been in the conversation as the best player in the NBA for the last few years. He has proven himself to be one of the best scorers in the history of the game and is capable of leading teams to championships. So it is understandable that Durant earns a lot of money for what he does, and has a current net worth of $170 million.

After winning 2 NBA championships with the Golden State Warriors, Durant and the Warriors agreed to a 4-year sign and trade deal worth $164,255,700 and he was traded to the Brooklyn Nets. This contract has Durant earning $37,199,000 in the 2019-20 season alone.

On top of this, Durant has endorsements with several brands such as Nike and Gatorade which brings him about $36 million per year. He is also the owner of small stakes in several companies.

If Durant can recover from his Achilles injury and come back even better, then we can expect his net worth of $170 million to only go up from here.
