Numerous NBA players and legends are known philanthropists. It is their way of giving back to the community from where they rose to fame and money. One of the biggest philanthropists is none other than Shaquille O?Neal.
But Stephen Curry is surely not far behind. Curry makes a huge amount every year from his NBA salary. That does not take into account the brand endorsements that he does along with his own business ventures.
So, it is only natural for him to give a small chunk of his wealthy net worth back to the community and the needy. Given that Curry spends insane amounts of money on himself and his family, he does a whole lot more in charity.
According to the YouTube channel, All About, Stephen Curry has donated $1 million to Feeding America, $1.5 million to the Obama Foundation and another $3.2 million to the University of North Carolina.
The total of his donations comes up to $5.2 million. And this does not include how much he donates to his own charity, Eat Learn Play.
