Okay, so, I wanted to check out how much money Anthony Bennett has made in his career. You know, that basketball player who was supposed to be a big deal but didn’t quite make it?
First, I went on the internet and started digging around for info on his contracts. I found out that he signed a few different contracts with a bunch of NBA teams.
- He started with the Cleveland Cavaliers, then moved to the Minnesota Timberwolves, and later the Toronto Raptors.
- After that, he signed a 2-year contract with the Brooklyn Nets for about $2.1 million. That’s a lot of money, but only about $1 million of it was guaranteed.
- He also got a 1-year deal with the Houston Rockets for around $1.7 million.
I kept looking and found out that he actually played his last NBA game in 2017. Time flies! Anyway, after playing in the NBA, he seems to have moved around to different leagues. He even played in Taiwan for a team called the Hsinchu JKO Lioneers in 2022 and 2023.
Now, for the most interesting part – his total earnings. After adding up all his NBA contracts, I figured out that he made at least $16.5 million just from playing basketball. That’s some serious cash!
I also tried to find out about his endorsements and other stuff, but that was a bit harder to track down. But hey, at least we know he made a good chunk of money from his basketball career, even though he didn’t become the superstar everyone expected.
Takeaways
So basically, Anthony Bennett earned over $16 million in the NBA, but he didn’t live up to the hype. It’s a good reminder that not everything goes as planned, but he still walked away with a nice chunk of change.
