How does Kevin Durant's net worth compare to his Brooklyn Nets teammates?
Brooklyn Nets superstar forward Kevin Durant’s net worth is estimated to be around $200 million as of 2022. Much of Durant’s earnings have come from his 15-year NBA career with the Seattle SuperSonics, OKC Thunder, Golden State Warriors and most recently Brooklyn.
This includes his $43 million salary this season, which ranks among the top of the league. By the time Durant’s contract with the Nets ends in 2026 he will have total career earnings of over $495 million, according to Spotrac.
Durant earns tens of millions more every year in endorsement deals, including $26 million annually from Nike. He has also made investments in multiple companies, including Postmates and investment app Acorns.
Most of Durant’s notable purchases throughout his career have been in real estate. This includes in 2018 when he spent $12.05 million on a beachfront home in Malibu, California. However, he later sold the property for a similar amount. Durant also owns multiple properties in the Oklahoma City area as well as a $15.6 million home in Hidden Hills, California.
KD isn’t the only big name on the Brooklyn Nets, though, as he also plays alongside stars Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons. The Nets have several other prominent veteran NBA role players as well, including Seth Curry and Patty Mills.

Kevin Durant’s net worth compared to other Brooklyn Nets stars
Kyrie Irving may be almost as big of a name as Kevin Durant, but the latter's net worth is still more than double Irving’s. As of 2022, Irving has an estimated net worth of $90 million. Most of this is from his NBA career. Irving’s career earnings will total around $230 million by the end of his Nets contract in 2023, per Spotrac.
Outside of his NBA salary, Irving’s net worth has mostly come from his endorsements with companies such as Pepsi, Skullcandy and Nike. Irving’s shoe deal with Nike is worth an estimated $11 million.
Irving’s most famous endorsement was his “Uncle Drew” Pepsi Max endorsement. His portrayal of the character in the commercials later led to the 2018 film called "Uncle Drew" as well. Irving has also guest starred on Disney's “Kickin' It” as well as done a voice acting role in an episode of "Family Guy."

Meanwhile, Ben Simmons, the Brooklyn Nets’ third star, has a much smaller net worth than Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.
Simmons has an estimated net worth of $6 million as of 2022. However, he did not make his NBA debut until the 2017-2018 NBA season and he is still only 26 years old. So he still has a lot of time to increase his net worth. Simmons’ career earnings are projected to total over $203 million by the time his Nets contract is up in 2025, according to Spotrac.
