Lamar Odom 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 Monday (November 4) that Odom is the highest-paid basketball player in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $40 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 $215 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 Odom Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Queens Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderodom - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Lamar) and a fashion line called “Lamar Odom Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Lamar fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
