Kevin Durant: $54.2 Million – Basketball
Durant took home the MVP trophy in 2014 with the Oklahoma Thunder and is a 4-time NBA scoring champ. This season will be his last with the team under his $85 million contract signed back in 2010. Yet, this ball player has many more years of handsome revenue stream due to a 10-year deal with Nike he signed in 2014 worth up to $300 million. Add to that the bevy of other sponsors he has including Sprint, Sonic, and Skullcandy, and Durant looks to be sitting pretty for some time to come.
