Karl Malone tops annual list of highest-paid basketball players
In 2022 it looked like the basketball player’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Friday (November 22) that Malone is the highest-paid basketball player in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $50 million lead over his closest competition.
People With Money’s factors
In compiling this yearly list, the magazine considers factors such as upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.
The American basketball player has an estimated net worth of $245 million. He owes his fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. He also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Malone Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Summerfield Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondermalone - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Karl) and a fashion line called “Karl Malone Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Karl fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
