Fourth highest earning NBA player this season
According to Forbes, Giannis Antetokounmpo ranks as the fourth highest-earning NBA player for the 2025 season and the top earner within the Milwaukee Bucks, with $54.1 million in on-court income—more than double that of the team’s second-highest-paid player, Myles Turner. He also holds the thirteenth spot among the world’s highest-paid athletes.
In total, Antetokounmpo is projected to earn $99.1 million this season, including $54.1 million from his NBA contract and $45 million from endorsements and business ventures.
His off-court portfolio is just as impressive, featuring partnerships with Nike, Huggies, and JBL, along with investments in the women’s basketball league Unrivaled, the sports-tech startup ScorePlay, and ventures in real estate and a winery in Greece.
