2016 NBA champion Kyrie Irving has been on some of the biggest teams around the league for the past few seasons. Naturally, he has amassed a huge salary during this time, which has helped him to a $90 million net worth. Currently playing with Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks, Irving is signed to a massive 3 years $120 million deal which makes him one of the highest-paid players on his team.

Interestingly, despite this huge salary with the Mavericks and other endorsement deals, Irving is still ranked below a free agent when it comes to the highest-paid point guards ever.

Leading the way is Golden State Warriors‘ latest signing, Chris Paul. However, his Warriors counterpart Stephen Curry is soon set to take over his place with a couple of max contracts on the way.

Interestingly, 2016 NBA champion and former Rookie of the Year, Kyrie Irving, ranks quite low in the rankings. He is the 7th highest-paid point guard in NBA history with $236,774,149 in career earnings.

Free agent and 5-time NBA All-Star John Wall surprisingly rank really high on the list. He takes the number 4 spot on the list ahead of names like Kyle Lowry and Irving according to hoopshype.

He earned the second-highest salary in the league during the 2021-22 NBA season while playing for the Houston Rockets. The 32-year-old earned $44,310,840 during that season despite sitting out of the games.

Irving’s latest deal might make him very rich soon

Kyrie Irving still has a long way to go in his NBA career. The 31-year-old recently signed with ANTA, a Chinese brand, after Nike broke all ties with him following a series of controversial statements. 

After months of speculation about his future, Irving signed a deal with the Chinese brand while also joining the corporation as their Chief Creative Officer. This might be a huge turning point for Irving’s fortunes.

Not only the Mavericks star, but ANTA also sponsors four time NBA champion Klay Thompson and six other elite NBA athletes around the league.
