Ever since landing with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2022, he’s been the driving force behind their rise in the Eastern Conference, proving time and again that he’s built for the big moments. Whether it’s his explosive scoring, leadership, or ability to step up when it matters most, Mitchell has cemented himself as a true franchise cornerstone.

Beyond his on-court heroics, Donovan Mitchell has built a strong financial portfolio, thanks to a lucrative NBA contract and high-profile endorsements. His partnership with global brands, particularly in the sneaker world, has only added to his growing presence both in basketball and business.

How much does Donovan Mitchell make in a year? A look into his net worth

The 2024-25 pre-season saw Mitchell sign a 3-year, $150,316,884 contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers. But this after his ongoing rookie extension from the Utah Jazz, the team that picked him up from the NCAA in 2017. The initial 2020 extension sees him earning a base salary of $35,410,310, which is 25.19% of the team’s cap. 

The 2025-26 season would see him earning the highest annual salary of his career at $46,394,100, nearly 1/3rd of the team’s cap. Makes sense after his performances this season. That 41-pointer was one of its kind. Injuries during his second season mean he’s already played the same number of games this season as he did the whole of that second, and we’re only in March. But the current season’s been a phoenix rising from the ashes, hoping to lead the charge to Cavs’ championship glory.

His future contracts are all estimated figures though; all until the 2027 season, when the player option kicks in. If he chooses, he’ll be entering the 50s with $53,817,156 per year. On the flipside, the team’s total cap has been reduced to 28.76%. Proves to be a Cleveland masterclass, as this shows the layering of the contract as his value increases massively every season.

 How much does Adidas pay Donovan Mitchell? Cavs star’s endorsements revealed

Back in July 2024, he signed a 3-year contract extension with sporting giant, Adidas. This is timed perfectly with Mitchell’s sixth signature sneaker with the Three Stripes worth $150 million which alone is nearly as much as his career earnings up to date. Of this, his estimated earnings are around $5-15 million. The Adidas D.O.N. Issue 6 was worn during the 23-24 playoffs for the first time. This deal has already etched him in the greats- the D.O.Ns are the third longest active line in their sneaker division, only behind the likes of Damian Lillard and James Harden.

What’s your perspective on:

Can Donovan Mitchell lead the Cavs to a championship, or is he just a flashy scorer?

Have an interesting take?

His other endorsements include New Era, Doterra, 2K Sports, Zions Bank, Vivint, Stance, and Panini, which bring his net worth up to $40 million. But the most niche one is probably the sports energy drink with Body Armour.

Where does Donovan Mitchell live? What’s the worth of his house?

Mitchell and Cleveland were a match made in heaven, just came to fruition much later in his life. When he got drafted by the Cavs, he was a newcomer to Northeast Ohio. Being a New York native doesn’t necessarily get you into the Knicks. So, while many may want to know where the hooper lives, he hasn’t revealed details about his current residency, and understandably so. He has however talked about a big purchase after hitting his first million: A house in Greenwich for Mama Mitchell. I’m sure she’s the most proud of him.

What cars does Donovan Mitchell drive? What’s in his car collection?

Much the ‘sport’ Donovan Mitchell is, he has a fair share of taste for automobiles. I say ‘fair’- his collection ranges from sports cars to sleek sedans- all high performance and luxurious. 2 Lambos, 2 Land Rovers, a Mercedes, a Jeep Wrangler, and a Dodge Daytona make 7. The total price of all the cars would come about to about $918,000, which is quite mind-blowing if you think about it.

Spida enjoys the luxury comforts of life, but all his earnings are paid off on the floor. A Dwayne Wade regen graces the Rocket Arena in Cleveland, the 28-year-old guard is only just getting started. Trust that he won’t rest until he adds a new ring to his collection, and who knows- that might end up increasing his net worth by itself.
