How does Anthony Davis' net worth compare to his LA Lakers teammates? All you need to know
Anthony Davis is back to playing elite basketball and has led the LA Lakers to wins in eight of the last 10 games. After last season's outing, Davis is back to his old form and is dominating the league once more.
In 2020, Anthony Davis signed a max extension with the Lakers worth $190 million deal. This came as a shock to many as the team's salary cap took a big hit. In doing so, Los Angeles wasn't able to sign decent role players. Still, it looks to have paid off as AD is playing like an MVP this season.
Aside from his lucrative deal with the Lakers, Davis also had previous big contracts with the New Orleans Pelicans. His past deals have added value to his net worth overall. The question now is, what is The Brow's net worth compared to his Lakers teammates?
Anthony Davis and other LA Lakers players' net worth
#1, LeBron James ($1 billion)
LeBron James is one of the richest NBA players to ever step foot on an NBA court. In June, Forbes announced James as being a billionaire. He's the first active NBA player to achieve this feat. Not even Michael Jordan was able to reach such wealth during his playing days.
James recently signed a two-year extension with the Lakers worth up to $97 million. This season, he will be earning around $44 million due to his new deal.
#2, Russell Westbrook ($200 million)
The Lakers guard has received much criticism due to his style of play over the past season. One thing fans can't take away from him, however, is his net worth of $200 million. Russell Westbrook signed a $205 million supermax deal with the OKC Thunder before the 2018-19 season and it contributed much to his earnings.
His endorsement deals played a big part in his net worth. Westbrook has earned approximately $35 million in endorsement deals alone. In 2017, the former MVP signed a 10-year extension with Jordan Brand.
#3, Anthony Davis ($130 million)
Anthony Davis has a net worth of $130 million, and his NBA salary has a lot to do with it. Davis' endorsement deals have also contributed to his earnings due to his marketability.
AD's contract won't expire until the end of the 2024-25 season. He's bound to earn $190 million in the span of five seasons. Davis is also reported to have earned up to $100 million in endorsements alone.
#4, Dennis Schroder ($40 million)
Dennis Schroder has a reported $40 million net worth, ranking him as the fourth player on the Lakers' roster in terms of earnings. The 11-year guard should have had more under his name if he accepted the $84 million offer by the Lakers in his first stint with the team.
He's back now and still looks to be doing well financially. Before the start of the 77th NBA season, the Lakers signed him to a one-year, $2.6 million deal.
