There is so much to look forward to in the NBA finals matchup between the Boston Celtics and the Golden State Warriors, one of them is the superstar showdown between Jayson Tatum and Stephen Curry.

Here, we compare the net worth of the two NBA superstars.

Celtics’ power forward Jayson Tatum is the highest-paid player on his team, making $30.352 million every year.

He was selected by the Boston Celtics in the 2017 NBA Draft. Last year, he signed the full max rookie extension, which could net him close to $200 million over the next five years.

To date, his net worth stands at $25 million, as per Celebrity Net Worth.

Golden State point guard Stephen Curry’s net worth is way more impressive. According to Celebrity Net Worth, he is currently worth $160 million.

Like Tatum, Curry is also the highest-paid player on his team. He is getting an annual salary of $45.781 million.

In his first few seasons, Curry did not have any notable endorsement contracts, only earning around $3 million a year between NBA and endorsements.

Because of his notable performances in the NBA, spanning 13 years, Curry became one of the highest-paid celebrities in the world. He has been the highest-paid player in the NBA for the past four seasons, and he remains the league's top earner for the 2021-22 season.

In a typical year, he reportedly earns $50 million in NBA salary and another $30-40 million from endorsements, for a total of $80-90 million.

Just last August, he signed a $215.35 million extension with the Warriors, which will take him through season 2025-26. Under the contract, he will average $54 million per season.
