Jeremy Lin Net Worth: Ex-NBA Star Earned Most While With Lakers

Despite not receiving an NBA contract this season, Santa Cruz Warriors point guard Jeremy Lin has already earned millions in his basketball career. Here’s how much he is worth today.

Lin is one of the most popular Asian-American athletes today. He has been a constant voice in pushing for equality for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and has spoken against Asian hate crimes many times. Despite not getting a call-up back to the NBA, Lin remains a strong figure in sports.

Lin played college ball in Harvard for four years, from 2006 to 2010. He then played for the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Summer League where he slowly got noticed. Lin jumped from one NBA team to another before his phenomenal stretch of play in 2012 with the New York Knicks, in what was dubbed "Linsanity."

After almost a decade of playing in the NBA, Lin established a net worth of $36 million, Celebrity Net Worth reported. He has earned $65,750,412 in his nine seasons in the NBA, from 2010 to 2019, according to Spotrac. In one season with the Los Angeles Lakers, he banked $14,898,938.

He was one of the world’s highest-paid athletes in Forbes' 2015 list. He also had endorsement deals with Adidas and Tag Heuer, earning $4 million.

In Lin's nine-game stint with the Santa Cruz Warriors in the G-League, he averaged 18.9 points, 5.1 rebounds and 5.2 assists in 32 minutes of play.

On Tuesday, Lin spoke about his journey in the NBA in a lengthy social media post. Many considered it as his farewell to the league.

"For reasons I'll never fully know, that chance never materialized. But I proved I'm better than ever and an NBA player. But like I've said before...dream big dreams, risk big heartache," he wrote.

"I didn't get it done this season, but I have no regrets and hold my head high. As for whats next, I trust what God has in store for me."
