Picture this: the rookie sensation Ausar Thompson electrifying the hardwood with gravity-defying moves and drawing just as many headlines for what’s in his bank account. Fans flock for the jaw-dropping highlights. But it’s his off-court empire- his rising monetary gains- that’s turning heads in boardrooms as much as stadiums.

At just 22 years of age, he’s put his money where his mouth is. And to think that it’s just the beginning of his career is scary. In this article, we’ll embrace our best Michael Phelps and dive deep into his financial portfolio. Net worth, salary, investments, documents- the whole nine yards. Strap in.

What is Ausar Thompson’s net worth in 2025?

As of April 2025, Thompson’s career earnings total $16.35 million, with $8.38 million allocated for the 2024-25 season alone. This accounts for $67,000 in pre-NBA NIL earnings while playing for Team Elite and City Reapers. Impressive right? That’s a lot for someone who didn’t even garner attention playing at the collegiate level. What’s better is that he was drafted as a 1st round pick, too. It speaks volumes about his talent that the Pistons were happy to invest in him.

But in contrast to his brother Amen, his investments aren’t as varied, suggesting divergent financial priorities between the twins. Thompson’s representatives at WME Sports have emphasized long-term planning over immediate asset acquisition. But seeing how he’s set the scene early, one would be a fool to count him out of future investment deals.

What is Ausar Thompson’s current NBA salary and contract breakdown?

Amen and Ausar Thompson made history in 2023. They became the first brothers in NBA draft history to be selected in the top five in the same year. But as for Ausar, he signed a 4-year, $36,246,405 contract with the Detroit Pistons, 100% guaranteed. The current year sees him earning $8,376,000, representing a 5.96% increase. That’s amazing business, really. His value is bound to skyrocket in the coming years, and the layering of his contract with the increasing value has been handled beautifully.

But his 2025-26 season is a little different. The Pistons had the option to extend his deal to the 2025-26 season. Any guesses about what they did? Yep, they extended it. That year, he is expected to earn $8,775,000, which would be 5.67% of the team’s cap. Even with a near $400k increase, the team’s cap is reducing.

The 2026-27 years are somewhat similar, in that it is a club option. But the monetary remuneration is much higher. That year, he will earn $11,117,925, which will increase the team’s cap to 6.54%. But this will be the end of his contract. Seeing his meteoric rise to the occasion, there’s no chance Detroit is letting their starlet go at any cost.

What are Ausar Thompson’s endorsements?

Despite his on-court promise, Thompson maintains a minimal endorsement portfolio compared to his peers. The likes of Victor Wembenyama earn nearly $12 million+ from yearly sponsorships, but Ausar provides a cleaner slate for future brand partnerships.

Don’t get it wrong – his minimal interactions with the business world don’t tell the whole story at all. His current net worth of $8-10 million is impressive, considering he is only 22 years old. And his on-court talent and brilliance speak volumes of what’s to come.
