Patrick Ewing 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 Sunday (April 6) that Ewing is the highest-paid basketball player in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between March 2024 and March 2025, a nearly $60 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 $275 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 Ewing Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Kingston Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderewing - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Patrick) and a fashion line called “Patrick Ewing Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Patrick fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
