Steph Curry News Announced After 17th Warriors Season

Steph Curry Among World's Highest-Paid Athletes

According to Forbes' 2026 rankings, Curry earned an estimated $124.7 million over the past year, placing him sixth among all athletes worldwide.

Only Cristiano Ronaldo, Canelo Alvarez, Lionel Messi, LeBron James and Shohei Ohtani ranked ahead of the Warriors star.

The breakdown highlights just how valuable Curry remains both on and off the court. Forbes estimated that Curry earned $59.7 million from basketball-related income while adding another $65 million through endorsements, partnerships and business ventures.

That off-court figure ranked among the highest in sports and reinforces why Curry continues to be one of the NBA's most marketable players.

Curry Continues Building His Legacy

At age 38 and after 17 NBA seasons, Curry has little left to prove on the basketball court.

The two-time MVP transformed the game with his shooting ability and helped lead Golden State to four NBA championships. Along the way, he became the NBA's all-time leader in three-pointers and one of the defining athletes of his generation.

Yet what makes the latest Forbes ranking notable is that Curry remains near the top of the earnings list despite playing in an era filled with younger stars and rapidly growing global athletes.

Players such as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Anthony Edwards and Cade Cunningham all appeared on the list. Curry still finished ahead of every active NBA player except LeBron James.

Warriors Star Still Influencing The Game

The financial rankings serve as another reminder of Curry's lasting impact.

Whether through his partnership with Under Armour, various business investments or his continued popularity among basketball fans around the world, Curry's influence remains enormous.

For Warriors fans, the latest news is another sign that the franchise icon continues to thrive even as he enters the later stages of his career.

His 17th NBA season may now be in the books, but Curry's place among the biggest names in sports remains firmly intact.

And if Forbes' latest rankings are any indication, the Warriors superstar is still as valuable as ever.
