Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry is not just tossing around basketballs; he’s also raking in the cash. The latest news flash: he’s been dubbed the second-highest paid athlete worldwide for 2024. Break out the cash confetti! According to Sportico, our favorite source of flashy sports finance stats, Curry’s financial game is as strong as his three-point shooting.

Curry racked up a staggering $153.8 million this year. To break it down for those of us still fumbling with our calculators, that’s $53.8 million from actually playing the game and a jaw-dropping $100 million from endorsements. That’s right, $100 million just from selfies with products and scribbling his name on sports gear. I can already hear LeBron James sighing in a mix of admiration and jealousy as he pulled in a shade under $85 million in endorsements, like a mere mortal in a commercial break.

Last year, the four-time NBA champion was chilling in the seventh spot of the same list. But this year, he’s catapulted to the top like an NBA dunk that makes fans lose their minds. That’s a glow-up worthy of its own highlight reel.

In the grand earnings scheme, only the soccer sensation Cristiano Ronaldo is cashing in more than Curry, with an eyebrow-raising total of $260 million. The Portuguese star did score a cool $215 million just for showing off his skills on the pitch, while Curry is here showing us the art of being both an athlete and a marketing mogul.

As for the rest of the Bay Area’s money-making machines, Jimmy Butler, Curry’s fresh teammate, came in at No. 33 with earnings of $56.9 million. The former Warrior Klay Thompson sneaks in at No. 50 with $48.8 million, while famous San Francisco Giants pitcher Justin Verlander rounds out the list at No. 70 with $44.5 million. Just a casual day in the life of the elite, right?

Here’s hoping their bank accounts continue to swell at the rate our student loans plummet, because someone has to finance coffee shop gigs and overpriced avocado toast. Until then, let’s toast to Steph, a true king on and off the court!
