Rich List

The 160 Richest NBA Players (2026): Jordan at $3.5B

The richest NBA player of all time is Michael Jordan, worth an estimated $3.5 billion in 2026, and almost none of it came from his playing contracts. That’s the pattern across this entire list: the wealthiest basketball players built their fortunes off the court, through sneaker royalties, team ownership, and business empires that dwarf even the richest NBA salaries.

This is our running ranking of the richest NBA players by estimated net worth. Each name links to a full profile breaking down their salary, endorsements, businesses and what they own. Figures are estimates from public sources and are updated as we research each profile.
