Steph Curry Net Worth

What is Steph Curry's Net Worth and Salary?

Steph Curry is an American professional basketball player, entrepreneur, producer, and investor who has a net worth of $300 million. Curry earns a salary of approximately $62.6 million for the 2026-27 NBA season.

Widely regarded as the greatest shooter in basketball history, Stephen Curry fundamentally changed the way the sport is played. His combination of accuracy, speed, ball handling, and willingness to shoot from well beyond the three-point line helped accelerate the NBA's shift toward perimeter-oriented offense. Curry has spent his entire professional career with the Golden State Warriors, winning NBA championships in 2015, 2017, 2018, and 2022.

Along the way, Curry has won two NBA Most Valuable Player awards, including becoming the first unanimous MVP in league history in 2016, and was named NBA Finals MVP in 2022. He has earned 11 All-NBA selections, made 12 All-Star teams, and became the NBA's all-time leader in made three-pointers. He also won his first Olympic gold medal with Team USA at the 2024 Paris Games.

Curry's financial accomplishments are nearly as extraordinary as his basketball résumé. He signed the first $200 million contract in NBA history, later became the first player to sign two $200 million contracts, and will have earned roughly $533 million in NBA salary by the end of his current Warriors deal. In June 2026, he added another enormous financial milestone by signing a 10-year endorsement agreement worth more than $400 million with Chinese sportswear company Li-Ning.

Salary, Contracts & Career Earnings

Stephen Curry's early NBA contracts look extraordinarily inexpensive in hindsight.

After being selected seventh overall in the 2009 NBA Draft, Curry played on his rookie contract before signing a four-year, $44 million extension with Golden State in 2012. At the time, repeated ankle injuries created legitimate concerns about his long-term durability. The deal ultimately became one of the greatest bargains in NBA history as Curry developed into a two-time MVP and led the Warriors to a championship before the contract expired.

In July 2017, Curry signed a five-year, $201.2 million contract with Golden State. It was the first contract in NBA history worth more than $200 million and made Curry the league's highest-paid player.

In August 2021, he made history again by signing a four-year, approximately $215 million extension, becoming the first NBA player to sign two contracts worth more than $200 million.

That deal paid Curry roughly $48.1 million in 2022-23, $51.9 million in 2023-24, $55.8 million in 2024-25, and $59.6 million in 2025-26.

In August 2024, Curry signed an additional one-year, $62.6 million extension that keeps him under contract with Golden State through the 2026-27 season. His $62.587 million salary for that season represents another milestone in the rapid escalation of NBA salaries.

Through the end of the 2025-26 season, Curry had earned roughly $470 million in NBA salary alone. By the end of his current contract, that figure will reach approximately $532.7 million.

$400 Million Li-Ning Shoe Deal

Curry's shoe business has become one of the most valuable components of his financial empire.

He began his NBA career wearing Nike before signing with Under Armour in 2013. Curry's rise into one of the biggest stars in professional sports transformed what had been a relatively small basketball business for Under Armour. The relationship eventually led to the launch of Curry Brand in 2020, with Curry serving as president of the brand.

In 2023, Curry and Under Armour announced a long-term extension that was expected to continue beyond his eventual retirement. Instead, the two sides made a surprising split in November 2025. Curry Brand became independent, although Under Armour continued releasing previously developed Curry merchandise during 2026.

Curry then became one of the most sought-after sneaker free agents in sports.

In June 2026, he signed a 10-year endorsement agreement with Chinese sportswear giant Li-Ning worth more than $400 million. If distributed evenly, the agreement is worth more than $40 million per year.

The partnership extends well beyond signature basketball shoes. Li-Ning is helping Curry expand Curry Brand into basketball apparel, lifestyle products, golf equipment and retail, with plans for dedicated Curry Brand stores in both China and the United States. Curry also retains the ability to develop the brand around other athletes.

The agreement attracted political scrutiny because Li-Ning's supply chain had previously drawn attention from U.S. authorities. In 2022, U.S. Customs and Border Protection detained Li-Ning merchandise after finding North Korean labor in its supply chain, requiring the company to demonstrate that imported goods were not produced with prohibited labor. Li-Ning disputed allegations of forced labor in its supplier network.

Endorsements & Business Ventures

Outside basketball, Curry has built a portfolio of endorsement agreements, investments and operating businesses. His endorsement partners have included Fanatics, Google, JPMorgan Chase, Panini, Rakuten and 2K Sports, among others.

His broader business interests are organized under Thirty Ink, a company that houses Curry's ventures in media, investments, branding and philanthropy.

Curry and Erick Peyton founded Unanimous Media in 2018. The production company develops television, film, documentary, publishing and podcast projects and has produced sports, family and faith-oriented content.

Curry's other ventures have included his Gentleman's Cut bourbon brand and the Underrated platform, which creates opportunities for overlooked young basketball players and golfers.

Early Life

Wardell Stephen Curry II was born on March 14, 1988, in Akron, Ohio. His father, Dell Curry, played 16 seasons in the NBA and became one of the Charlotte Hornets' most prominent early players. Stephen spent much of his childhood in Charlotte while his father played professionally.

The family later spent time in Toronto when Dell played for the Raptors. Curry returned to Charlotte and attended Charlotte Christian School, where he developed into an accomplished high school player despite receiving relatively little attention from major college basketball programs.

Steph's younger brother, Seth Curry, also became an NBA player.

Davidson College

Curry attended Davidson College after major basketball programs largely declined to recruit him.

He quickly proved that evaluation wrong. As a sophomore during the 2008 NCAA Tournament, Curry became a national sensation while leading Davidson to the Elite Eight. The Wildcats came within one basket of reaching the Final Four.

During his junior season, Curry transitioned more fully to point guard and led the NCAA in scoring at 28.6 points per game. He finished his Davidson career as the school's all-time leading scorer before declaring for the NBA Draft.

Golden State Warriors Dynasty

The Golden State Warriors selected Curry seventh overall in the 2009 NBA Draft.

His early career was repeatedly interrupted by ankle problems, but once healthy, Curry developed into the centerpiece of one of the greatest teams in NBA history. Alongside Klay Thompson, he formed the "Splash Brothers," a backcourt whose three-point shooting changed the strategic direction of professional basketball.

Under coach Steve Kerr, the Warriors won 67 games during the 2014-15 season. Curry earned his first MVP award, and Golden State defeated LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals.

Curry reached another level in 2015-16. He averaged 30.1 points per game, made a then-record 402 three-pointers, led Golden State to an NBA-record 73 regular-season victories, and became the first player in league history to win the MVP award unanimously.

The Warriors lost the 2016 Finals to Cleveland after taking a 3-1 series lead, but the subsequent arrival of Kevin Durant created one of the most dominant teams ever assembled. Golden State won consecutive championships in 2017 and 2018 and returned to the Finals in 2019.

Three-Point Record and Fourth Championship

Golden State's dynasty was temporarily derailed by injuries. Thompson missed two full seasons, while Curry appeared in only five games during the 2019-20 season after breaking his left hand.

Curry returned to elite form in 2020-21, averaging an NBA-leading 32 points per game.

In December 2021, he passed Ray Allen to become the NBA's career leader in made three-pointers.

The following season, Curry led Golden State back to the NBA Finals. The Warriors defeated the Boston Celtics in six games, giving Curry his fourth championship. After years of debate about his Finals performances, Curry averaged 31.2 points in the series and was unanimously named NBA Finals MVP.

Olympic Gold and Later Career

Curry continued playing at an All-NBA level deep into his 30s. He earned another All-NBA selection in 2023-24 and was named to the All-NBA Second Team following the 2024-25 season, the 11th All-NBA selection of his career.

In 2024, Curry competed in the Olympics for the first time. He helped Team USA win gold in Paris and produced two memorable shooting performances in the medal rounds, including a barrage of late three-pointers against France in the gold-medal game.

The 2025-26 NBA season was more difficult. Curry dealt with a significant right knee injury and appeared in 43 regular-season games, averaging 26.6 points while shooting 39.3% from three-point range. Golden State finished 37-45 and entered the play-in tournament as the Western Conference's tenth seed.

Curry scored 35 points, including seven three-pointers, as the Warriors eliminated the Los Angeles Clippers in their first play-in game. Golden State was then eliminated by Phoenix.

Despite the injury-shortened season, Curry remained one of the league's most productive scorers at age 38 and entered the 2026-27 season still under contract with the only NBA franchise he has ever represented.

Real Estate

Steph and Ayesha Curry have completed a long series of high-value real estate transactions, particularly in Northern California.

In November 2012, they paid $1.475 million for a penthouse in Oakland's Jack London Square. They sold it in May 2014 for $1.499 million.

In 2013, the Currys paid $3.1 million for a Spanish-style home in Orinda. They sold the property off-market in June 2016 for $4.65 million, producing a gross gain of approximately $1.55 million.

In November 2015, they paid $3.2 million for a roughly 7,500-square-foot mansion in Walnut Creek. After spending around $400,000 on renovations, they initially listed the property for $3.7 million. It eventually sold in August 2017 for approximately $2.94 million, giving the Currys one of the comparatively rare losses in their Bay Area real estate history.

In 2016, Steph and Ayesha paid $5.775 million for a 10,000-square-foot estate in Alamo. The gated 1.5-acre property featured an infinity pool, guest house, wine cellar and six-car garage. They sold it in January 2019 for $6.3 million.

That same month, they sold a home near Charlotte, North Carolina, for roughly $1.2 million. They had paid $1.275 million for the property in 2011.

The Currys made their biggest real estate move in June 2019 when they paid $31 million for a newly built estate in Atherton, California, one of the most expensive residential communities in the United States. The roughly 7,500-square-foot home sat on 1.2 acres. They quietly sold it in September 2021 for $31.15 million, essentially breaking even before transaction costs.

Meanwhile, in December 2020, the Currys had already paid $30 million for an even larger Atherton estate at 28 Selby Lane. The 1.7-acre property contained a roughly 17,700-square-foot residence with seven bedrooms, a guest house, swimming pool, cabana, wine cellar and walnut orchard. Records later showed that a $500,000 remodeling project was permitted after the purchase.

In May 2026, Steph and Ayesha quietly sold the Selby Lane estate in an off-market transaction for $29.1 million. That was $900,000 less than their original purchase price before accounting for renovations, commissions and other carrying costs. The transaction marked the Currys' second major Atherton sale in five years.

The Currys have made several additional purchases. In 2019, they paid approximately $1.2 million for a small Menlo Park home and sold it in 2021 for roughly $1.4 million. In 2020, they paid nearly $8 million for a luxury condominium at the Four Seasons Private Residences in San Francisco, conveniently located near the Warriors' Chase Center.

In 2022, they paid $2.1 million for a roughly 4,200-square-foot home in Winter Park, Florida. The four-bedroom property includes multiple fireplaces, a gourmet kitchen and extensive outdoor living space.

Personal Life and Philanthropy

Stephen Curry married Ayesha Alexander in 2011. They have four children: Riley, Ryan, Canon and Caius, who was born in 2024.

Away from basketball, Curry is an accomplished amateur golfer and has competed regularly in celebrity tournaments.

Steph and Ayesha also created the Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation, which focuses on childhood hunger, education and access to sports and physical activity. The organization has invested heavily in programs serving children and schools in Oakland and the surrounding Bay Area.
