Stephen Curry Spent $31 Million From His $201 Million Contract to Become WhatsApp Founder’s Neighbour

Among the plethora of stars in the NBA, Stephen Curry has established a distinct name for himself. NBA analysts and fans generally consider him the greatest shooter in the history of the NBA. The Golden State Warriors star has also earned himself quite a fortune over the years. Among Curry’s luxury possessions, he owns a mansion that pits him as a neighbor to another celebrity.

Stephen Curry paid a reported $31 million dollars for his lavish Atherton Mansion. The mansion has a poolside cabana, a separate guesthouse, and a three-car detached garage. The mansion makes Curry a neighbor to WhatsApp founder Jan Koum, a billionaire in his own right with a net worth of a whopping $12 billion. Curry’s massive $201 million contract barely received a dent as he bought the luxurious mansion.

What is Stephen Curry’s net worth?

Stephen Curry’s net worth is reported to be $160 million. His NBA base salary of $50 million per year alongside an additional $30m per year from the endorsements field, makes his net worth multi-million dollar. Curry signed a new 4-year deal with the Golden State Warriors on August 4, 2021.

Is he richer than LeBron James and Kevin Durant?

Stephen Curry’s net worth and salary place him among some of the highest-paid and richest sports athletes in the world. As one of the most renowned stars in the league, it is no surprise that he remains one of the more handsomely paid players. Curry has a net worth close to that of other NBA stars like Los Angeles Lakers talisman LeBron James and Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant.

Curry’s $160 million net worth falls just shy of Kevin Durant’s $200 million net worth. However, both Curry and Durant’s net worth pales in comparison to LeBron James’ staggering $500 million net worth. Curry and Durant were teammates on the Warriors between 2016 and 2019. Their partnership produced two back-to-back NBA championships in 2017 and 2018.
