For the Golden State Warriors, training camp is just around the corner. They have their Media Day tomorrow, and there is a major change unfolding as we speak. The Warriors had been quiet through most of the offseason, their hands tied while waiting on Jonathan Kuminga’s decision ahead of the October 1 deadline. But sources confirm that veteran big man Al Horford has verbally committed to a multi-year deal with the Bay Area franchise.

The timing is closely tied to Jonathan Kuminga’s contract situation. As a restricted free agent, Kuminga has until October 1 to accept the Warriors’ $7.9 million qualifying offer. And if Horford is coming, he is expected to give Golden State a stabilizing presence. This will be Horford’s 19th NBA season, after spending 7 years with the Boston Celtics, besides 2 years with the Sixers and Wizards in between. But as things move to the Dub Nation, let’s look at his contract details.

Al Horford’s 2025 contract details with Warriors

According to ESPN’s Anthony Slater, Horford was not rushing to join the Golden State Warriors, as he has other options on the table. “Horford is comfortable waiting. Retirement remains on the table, sources said, though the Warriors appear to be operating as if he is a firm part of their plan next season.”

The move marks a major shift in Horford’s NBA career. For a veteran of his stature, it was either a fruitful deal or retirement. Even though the actual numbers of the contract aren’t out yet, it’s safe to say that he has chosen a contract that will benefit him financially. And this is not the first time that he has made a smart money move. Let’s see how Horford has expanded his own empire through his game and investments.

Horford’s most recent deal with the Boston Celtics was a two-year, $19.5 million veteran extension, signed ahead of the 2023-24 season. That contract was fully guaranteed and completed using the Bird Rights exception. And now, the Warriors’ agreement is expected to carry similar multi-year security but with details still pending.

How much is Al Horford’s net worth in 2025?

Horford’s net worth is estimated at $130 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. His wealth is a combination of contract negotiations, informed investments, and his ability to remain relevant across multiple teams, including the Celtics and now the Warriors.

And that relevance has fueled his popularity among brands. Horford has leveraged exactly that to secure endorsements with brands such as Panini, Dunkin’ Donuts, Intel, Unilever, and Banco Popular, which add an estimated $3.3 million or more annually.

Horford has also been strategic with investments, putting millions into health and nutrition ventures, like a $6.5 million stake in Momentous, as well as tech and consumer companies such as NEX. Even as one of the league’s oldest active players, his financial savvy has solidified him not only as a key basketball asset but also as a smart, well-rounded entrepreneur.

Over nearly two decades in the NBA, Horford has turned that value into remarkable financial success, with total career earnings reaching $285.1 million.

Al Horford’s contract and salary over the years

Before Horford became this sought-after veteran, he had humble beginnings. Starting NBA career with the Atlanta Hawks in 2007 on a four-year rookie contract worth $17.5 million (average $4.38 million per season). From the start, he made an immediate impact as a versatile big man, averaging 10.1 points during his rookie season.

By 2010-11, Horford was averaging 15.3 points, solidifying his role as a team cornerstone. In 2011, Atlanta rewarded him with a five-year, $60 million extension, using Bird Rights to re-sign him even over the cap. His salary jumped by a massive 36% to $12 million per season, reflecting his growing importance.

Ultimately, in 2016, Horford landed with the Boston Celtics on a four-year, $113 million contract. This was also the highest salary he ever received, averaging around $28 million. Over the next three seasons in Boston, Horford helped the team reach the Eastern Conference Finals twice, in 2017 and 2018. But he opted out of the final year. This allowed him to explore other opportunities and eventually sign with the Philadelphia 76ers.

In 2019, Horford moved to the Philadelphia 76ers, signing a four-year, $109 million free-agent contract with an average salary of $27.25 million, guaranteed for $97 million at signing and using cap space.

After a brief stint with the Sixers and Oklahoma City Thunder, he returned to Boston for a second stint, where the 2023-24 two-year, $19.5 million veteran extension was executed using Bird Rights, fully guaranteed at $19.5 million. That deal carried an average of $9.75 million per season. That makes the total estimated value of his lifetime contracts stand at $285 million.

Now, his future with the Warriors will be built on the contracts and numbers he can negotiate, but not until Kuminga and his sticky limbo with the Warriors come to an end.
