9. Gary Payton – Net Worth $130m
Former Seattle SuperSonics player, Payton is one of the richest NBA stars, worth a cool $130m.
He’s played for a whole host of famous teams, including the Lakers, the Heat, and the Boston Celtics, earning the nickname ‘The Glove’, thanks to his passionate defence. In total, his NBA career was 20 years long, and he’s the only point guard to receive an NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award too.
His huge fortune as one of the richest NBA players certainly isn’t wasted, as he and his wife are both active fundraisers for HIV awareness, underprivileged youth and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
