‘Future Billionaire’ Stephen Curry’s Salary Will Undermine $9.5 Billion Worth League’s Recent Past, and It’s Not the NBA or NFL

Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry is rightfully the highest-earning player in the league. He recently won his fourth NBA title which solidifies his status as one of the greatest players ever.

Curry will be earning a whopping $48 million during the 2022-23 season which makes him the highest earner in the league over the likes of Russell Westbrook and LeBron James.

Interestingly enough, his massive contract means he will be earning more than some of the teams participating in the MLB. Curry will be earning a whopping $59 million during the 2025-26 season. This means his future salary will be more than the payrolls of some of the MLB teams back in 2020. 

The Tampa Bay Rays, Baltimore Orioles, and the Pittsburgh Pirates had a payroll of $35 million, $37 million, and $38 million respectively in 2020. Not only his future salary, but Curry’s salary during the 2022-23 season also greatly undermines their payrolls.
