How difficult is it to have a career income of over 500 million? Only 6 people have done it in history, and King James ranked first with 580 million

7:04pm, 5 August 2025【Basketball】

Fox signed a four-year contract of 229 million today. Many fans said it was not worth it, but if the Spurs didn't give it, they couldn't keep it. If they wanted to pursue their record, Castle and Harper were still young and had other instant combat power to help Wenban, which was also a must-sign. After winning this contract, Fox's total career revenue reached 416 million and surpassed the old man. Speaking of this, which players have had their career revenue exceeding 500 million so far in NBA history? Let’s see who is on the list.

Sixth Durant has made a total of 511 million yuan in his career so far. This is because he has never signed a long contract during his time as the Warriors. He often jumped out of contracts and reduced his salary to help the team run. Otherwise, he would have received more salary. Durant has the opportunity to reach a two-year, 120 million contract extension with the Rockets this summer. If this contract is signed, his total salary will exceed that of King James.

Durant is one of the best scorers in history, he deserves such a big contract, and in the new season he has the opportunity to surpass Jordan in his career total score. The new season is also an opportunity for Durant to prove himself. If he can lead the team to win the championship, he will prove that he can succeed without Curry.

Fifth Embiid,

Embid received a three-year, 190 million contract extension last summer. Now, according to US media, 76ers regret giving him this contract very much, because Embiid may not be able to recover from his injury and return to the peak. Under such circumstances, Embiid's garbage contract will seriously affect the future operations of the 76ers.

Embid has made a total of 514 million yuan in his career. He has been holding a big contract since his first contract extension. Of course, Embiid's performance at that time is also worth it. After all, he has been the top three center in the league in the past years, with a strong dominance and has won the MVP and scoring champion, but he has never even played in the division final, which has given everyone some room to complain about him.

4 Paul George

Although George suffered a major injury from a broken leg, this guy was able to get a big contract because he was in line with the style of the times. Although his personal ability was not very outstanding, he was also selected into the top three of the MVP list at his peak. Because of his integrated offense and defense, and not taking advantage of the ball, many teams are willing to give him big contracts.

The team that won him is not counting on him to become the boss of the team, but hopes that he can help the team as the top second leader. Last year, he won 220 million yuan for four years. George signed with the 76ers for money, and now it makes the 76ers very uncomfortable. George's total salary has reached 518 million in his career. It is estimated that this contract will expire and he will be retired.

Third Booker

Booker is grateful to the Suns for being in the top three. I have to say that the Suns really regard him as their future. Even though he only helped the Suns reach the finals, and the true core at that time was not him, in the Suns' view, Booker is the team's non-sale product and the real cornerstone player. In the summer, the Suns chose to rebuild, and they also gave Booker a two-year, 140 million contract renewal.

Book's total salary so far in his career has reached 533 million. He will win a big contract in the future. Although his ability is not very outstanding, relying on the team's strength, he is also very likely to become the highest-paid player in history when he retires. Now he is only 50 million away from being the first, and his annual salary for one season at his peak.

Second Curry

If Curry was not the first contract extension in his career was a child labor contract, then he could rank higher. Curry's first contract extension was only 44 million in four years and 44 million. It was this contract that the Warriors were able to form a super grand formation like the Cosmic Divine. However, the Warriors have been giving Curry a super maximum salary since then.

Curry has become the highest salary player in the league for many years. He is the creator of the small ball era and has also brought the Warriors to the height of the league's first football market. In this case, Curry has always received the highest salary. This is what he deserves. His total salary so far in his career is 535 million.

No. 1 James

After all, James has been at the peak for so many years. It is reasonable that he ranks first. If others rank first, it would be unreasonable. He has always received a maximum salary and has served for the longest time. James recently executed his last year's contract, and his total income has reached 583 million in his career so far. Perhaps this is not the limit.

The reason why James said this is because he has not yet retired. If he renews his contract tomorrow, even if he does not have a peak, it is unlikely to get a contract worth 30 million. By then, he will become the first player in his career with a total salary of over 600 million. The reason why James has always wanted to be the boss of a team is because his total assets with other incomes are close to 1.5 billion. One of the most successful athletes in the world, and he has no idea about doing business.

Speaking of this, what do you want to say about these 6 players? Are their abilities in line with their own salary? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
