Kristaps Porzingis is undeniably a rare gem in the Boston Celtics side. A 7 ‘2 big man, who has an impressive shooting range from the deep. He not only protects the rim but also increases the space on the floor. This is what exactly made the C’s lethal last season, as Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown danced a bit on the floor with plenty of space available. However, the only drawback is his plaguing injuries.
Despite spotty attendance throughout his career, the Boston side banked on the big man and roped him in with a multi-team deal. Most importantly, the deal sent out Marcus Smart. Moreover, the team immediately extended the star’s contract for two years for $60 million. While he showed promising signs in the regular season, averaging 20.1 ppg, he missed 25 games citing injuries. On top of it, he missed 12 out of 19 games in the 2024 postseason.
Nevertheless, the star’s absence didn’t negatively impact the C’s as they comfortably reached the Finals and won the title. The only frustrating part is, that Porzingis’ inconsistent appearance has continued this season as well, as he already missed 19 games out of 26 outings, recovering from the off-season surgery. Anyway, the Celtics have laid their trust in him. Let’s find out how the latest contract extension and other monetary exploits propelled the big man’s net worth.

How much does Kristaps Porzingis earn in a year? A look into the Celtics’ star’s career earnings
After spending 9 seasons in the league, Kristaps Porzingis has played for four different franchises including the Celts. He started his career with the NY Knicks and moved to the Dallas Mavericks and Washington Wizards after brief stays. After considering his salary, multiple reports have estimated the star’s net worth to be around $90 million. The star’s primary source of income includes NBA annual salary and endorsement deals.
The star came into the Celtics fold with a year left in his 5-year contract he signed with the Mavs. Currently, he is in the first year of a two-year contract worth $60 million, which the Celtics extended right after roping him in. After the 2025-26 season, the star will enter unrestricted free agency. If he remains healthy and consistently plays games in the remaining contract, the big man could fetch a lucrative deal from the Celts or maybe even from other franchises.
What are Kristaps Porzingis’ investments and endorsements?
One of the perks of being an NBA player is earning endorsement deals apart from the annual salary.

Not to undermine the star’s talent on the court, but the team’s popularity played a huge role.
The big man signed a 7-year shoe deal with Adidas in 2016 that fetched him $3-$6 million annually. Apparently, it was the biggest deal ever signed by a European baller in the NBA. However, we don’t have any details on his current shoe deal, but he still operates with Adidas.

What’s the worth of Kristaps Porzingis’ house?
Before we go into the details of his house, it’s important to know that the star has found his home in Boston. After a bumpy ride throughout his career, the star reached the Celts. While many questioned the team’s decision to extend his contract, the star proved everyone wrong with his performance.
Following the championship, Porzingis said, “My priorities changed… It wasn’t as much, anymore, about money. I wanted to win. I had an opportunity to play for a historic franchise like Boston and win a championship here. Man, I couldn’t resist that opportunity.” It’s not about whether he’d continue with the franchise or not, but he surely found a home.

Now, heading to the actual property. We don’t have information regarding the star’s stay in Boston. But when he touched down in New York for the first time, he lived with his family for a brief period in the suburbs of White Plains. Later, he moved to a condo at the Sky Luxury Apartments for a monthly rent of $8000 per month. The penthouse came with plenty of features, like a fitness gym, a lounge, a spa area, a rooftop terrace, a shopping center, three swimming pools, a cafe, and an NBA-size basketball court, among others. Looking at the contracts that he had signed after his Knicks stint, the star must have bought mansions for himself.
