At the end of his new deal, his career earnings with the Warrior will be over $532 million (£403 million) - only behind James ($580 million).
Curry, who has four NBA championships to his name, has spent his entire professional basketball career at the Warriors since the California-based outfit drafted him in 2009.
He's been vocal about his desire to stay with the Warriors and retire with them.
"I've always said I want to be a Warrior for life," he said in July. "At this stage in my career, I feel like that's possible."

That sentiment is echoed by general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr., who reckons Curry will be 'a Warrior for 'life'.
He said: "All that stuff will get figured out, and I think Steph will be - I'd say, pretty confident he'll be a Warrior for life."
In the 2021/22 season, Curry averaged 26.4 points on 40,8 per cent, 3-point shooting, 5.1 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game.
