Steph Curry has unique contract clause that will see him pocket $75 million years after he's retired from the NBA

The Golden State Warriors point guard has four NBA crowns to his name.

Steph Curry is set to earn a crazy $75m even beyond the period when his NBA playing days are likely to be over.

The 37-year-old is one of the all-time greats in the NBA thanks to his exploits on the basketball court, with the entirety of his career spent with the Golden State Warriors.

He has become an NBA Champion on four occasions - in 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2022 - as well as being crowned the NBA Finals MVP in 2022.

Curry has also twice been named the NBA's Most Valuable Player and has been in the NBA's All-Star game 11 times.

Curry is an incredibly well-paid sportsman and is earning a 2024-25 salary of $55,761,216 from the Warriors and is projected to remain the highest-paid NBA star until the end of the 2026-27 season.

Despite now being 37, Curry does not appear to be considering retirement imminently and is looking forward to competing well into his late 30s.

Speaking after Golden State's season came to an end following defeat to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the play-offs, he said: "We (Warriors) have four months. I don't have any Olympics, and it's going to be about rebuilding and getting rest, like you said, but definitely rebuilding everything for another great run.

"So, I'm going to take full advantage of the offseason knowing I've been playing a lot of basketball for the last year, and I have a lot left in the tank to prepare for, so I'm excited about it."

Curry was recently named by Forbes in the top 10 of the world's highest paid athletes - and sits second on the list behind only Cristiano Ronaldo.

The former Manchester United and Real Madrid star's earnings over the past 12 months topped $275m, with $225m of that coming thanks to his exploits on the football pitch with Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League.

Curry sits second with total earnings of $156m, with $56m of that coming from the Warriors and basketball directly, while $100m was earned from other revenue streams off the court.

Retired boxer Tyson Fury is third with earnings over the past year of $146m overall, with the top 10 also including the likes of Lionel Messi, LeBron James and Karim Benzema.

And though Curry had a massive pay cheque over the past year, the Warriors star is set to earn another huge amount of money in the years to come when he is likely to have retired from basketball.

Forbes also reports that in 2023, Curry signed a long-term deal to extend his time as the face of Under Armour's Curry Brand.

And this does not evening include $75m in stock compensation in a unique contract clause, which is due to vest in 2029 and 2034, the latter date of which Curry is unlikely to still be playing in the NBA by.
