American basketball player Kevin Durant is a member of the Houston Rockets. He has been picked as an NBA All-Star fifteen times and named to eleven All-NBA teams

Durant was selected for the NBA 75th Anniversary Team in 2021. From roughly $120 million in 2016 to an expected $300 million in 2026, Durant’s net worth has increased significantly. A mix of lucrative NBA contracts, big endorsement deals (such as a lifelong Nike contract), and astute investments made through his business, 35 Ventures, are responsible for this gain. Kevin Durant’s net worth was approximately $150 million in 2018, according to some sources. His high earnings for the 2018–2019 season alongside LeBron James and Stephen Curry were attributed to his NBA contracts and endorsements. In that year alone, Durant made an estimated $85 million, of which $46 million came from off-court pursuits. 2023-2025: Kevin Durant’s net worth increased from an estimated $300 million in 2023 to an estimated $300–$350 million by 2025 thanks to large NBA contracts, such as his most recent extension with the Rockets, notable endorsements, such as a massive lifetime deal with Nike, and astute investments made through his company, Thirty Five Ventures. He became the third NBA player to sign a lifetime contract with Nike in 2023, following Michael Jordan and LeBron James. 2026: Kevin Durant, who joined the Houston Rockets in July 2025, will make over $54 million a year for the 2025–2026 season. His estimated net worth is still $300 million. It is estimated that his career earnings from NBA pay alone will surpass $500 million. He is one of the richest athletes in history thanks to his enormous NBA earnings (including over $54 million for the 2025–2026 season), huge endorsements like his $300 million lifetime Nike agreement, investments through his 35 Ventures, and holdings in sports teams like PSG and the Philadelphia Union.

2022: $200–250 million, with some sources citing figures as high as $200 million, and rising to $300 million by late 2022/early 2023 due to his lucrative endorsements, large NBA contracts, like the Nets extension, and business investments through 35 Ventures, making him one of the richest NBA players. Among NBA lifetime scoring leaders, he is ranked seventh.
