Paul George is a success, failure, money, and controversies, all in the same high-profile package. Currently, he is the captain of the Clippers’ Sail that has finally touched the coast of WCF in 51 years. Steve Ballmer’s wide-arm hug for the 31-YO maestro after their series win over #1 Jazz was proof that the owner is happy with his investment.
PG, in his 11-year NBA career, has gone past many milestones and wore many hats. In the process, the superstar has earned some financially strong deals and some record-setting contracts among other things.

Currently, PG is sitting on the mind-boggling net worth of $90 million and will very soon enter the rare hundred million club. The 6’8” guard-forward from Fresno State College entered the league in 2010 as a Pacer and enjoyed seven years with the team. After completing his four years with the Pacers, the star signed a 5-year $91.57 million max rookie extension.
However, later, after the team’s back-to-back round 1 losses, the man decided to move out. Not wanting to jeopardize his worth, the Pacers traded him to OKC where he resigned a 4-year $136.9 million contract.
That worked as an extrinsic motivation for the star who enjoyed a career-best 2018-19 season. He averaged 28 points and recorded a career-high 2.2 steals in that season. As a result, his worth touched the sky with another 4-year extension of $190 million when he joined Kawhi Leonard in the Clippers. This proved how his career has only gone upwards in terms of money.
