Mario Chalmers just won a million dollars. Oh, and a nice championship ring to go with the two rings from the NBA. BIG3 not only kept Chalmers’ career alive over six years removed from the NBA, it also brought him back from overseas and added to his wealth. With the Miami 305 reclaiming their title, its players, including Michael Beasley and Lance Stephenson, take home a snazzy cash prize on top of salaries and bonuses.

For an NBA player, Mario Chalmers has a humble net worth. But he is by no means ready to retire. After an overseas stint, he returned through the BIG3 and is still proving he has basketball left in his tank, at 39.

What is Mario Chalmers’s Net Worth?

As of 2025, Mario Chalmers’ net worth is estimated at $12 million, a little disappointing for 10 years in the NBA. But he didn’t have bigtime endorsement deals to supplement that income either.

In his rookie years under Pat Riley’s Miami Heat, Chalmers raked up a series of fines for minor violations of team rules like being late to practice (Erik Spoelstra refused to elaborate then). Chalmers and his future Miami 305 teammate, Michael Beasley had a rocky start to their NBA careers when they were kicked out of the NBA’s rookie orientation camp. Beasley paid $50,000 and Chalmers paid $20,000 in fines.

It reached a point where Heat staffers intervened to set the rookies straight. After that eye-opener, Chalmers was wiser with his career.

Mario Chalmers’s Contract

Being drafted in the second round, 34th overall in the 2008 shows downsides in a rookie scale contract. Chalmers’ first NBA contract was a three-year deal worth $2,320,500 with the Miami Heat. His fellow Kansas product Michael Beasley was drafted second overall by Miami and signed a four-year deal worth $20,178,147 for comparison.

He signed with the Memphis Grizzlies in 2015 on associated contract due to an Achilles injury. Later Miami signed him on a 10-day contract in 2021 while in the G-league. But as of 2018, Chalmers had not officially been on an NBA roster.

He’d immediately go overseas, sign with Virtus Bologna, and won the 2019 FIBA Champions League. He’d also sign with the BIG3 while playing in Puerto Rico and Greece.

What is Mario Chalmers’s salary?

Chalmers brief brush with the G-League and return to Miami earned him $138,019 in 2021. His highest salary was in 2014-15 – $4,150,000 – when he averaged 8.9 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game, right after winning two championships with LeBron James and Dwyane Wade.

Mario Chalmers’s Career Earnings

The 2x champ’s total NBA earnings across his entire NBA career is $24,084,501. While his overseas earnings aren’t known, it’s estimated that he earned a pretty penny in the BIG3.

Players signed under Ice Cube’s 3vs3 league have contracts that pay them per game appearance, with many earning $10,000 per game. With 11 games in a season, they can earn up $100,000 just for making it to the finals. While the Miami 305 players earned the max for making it to the finals, they get an additional $1 million for winning the 2025 championship. They can thank Chalmers’ buzzer-beater for that although Beasley reclaimed the MVP title.

What are the brands endorsed by Mario Chalmers?

Chalmers didn’t exactly get big deals as a role-player. He had a deal with Spalding, but nothing like Michael Jordan’s and Caitlin Clark’s Wilson deals. Very few out of Spalding and Chalmers himself knew that the brand had a sneaker line which Chalmers wore and endorsed. Nike endorser, LeBron James, and Way of Wade pioneer, Dwyane Wade often teased him for it.

He’s well past the quirky endorsements since BIG3 stardom. In 2024, he partnered with the urban streetwear brand, Reversed.

Mario Chalmers’s Investments and Business Ventures

The Kansas grad is not done with hoops but he’s branching out. He’s still got the brow-raising knack for business like a limited NFT collection with 2Crazy and Playmaker.

Rather than business, Chalmers has been more focused on community initiatives and helping youth. His partnership with Reversed is the brand’s first in the basketball space and helps more young basketball athletes. The brand expanded into college sports by signing other young athletes.

Mario Chalmers’s House and Cars

Super Mario did live it up in style. He used to own a stately home in Matthews, North Carolina but when he went to Italy, he listed it for sale with a $2.2 million price tag. The home boasted five bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms, a chef’s kitchen, home gym, billiard room, pool, hot tub, and library.

Straight of his first championship high, he purchased a condo in Miami that was previously owned by Drake and featured in a DJ Khaled music video. Perhaps the celebrity essence drives up the market value because he bought it for $2.4 million in 2012. Two years later, he listed it for sale for $4.4 million.

Mario Chalmers’ career was just as off-the-cuff as himself. Nor does he have the conventional post-NBA career. We’ll dive into his retirement life when he’s truly retired. For now, it seems as if he’s still got a few buzzer-beaters left in him.
