He has more than earned it, and continues to earn it more and more with each passing game. That contract, which gives him $36 million during the peak year, is easily the largest deal in the history of the franchise. After excelling with the Suns and giving the franchise more hope than they’d had in years, the 6’5 shooter signed a whopping five-year $158 million extension. However, it wasn’t until the guard started thriving in the system that he got his huge contract. The Suns ended up exercising both third and fourth year options. That figure came from both the hype Booker had when he first entered the league, and his spot in the draft. The four-year deal had a cap of $10 million, which Booker fully earned during his early years in Phoenix. It gave him millions up front, and was also fully scalable. As a first round draft pick, he came in with a solid rookie deal. Though Booker’s done a good job with external deals, as I’ll cover below, most of his net worth stems directly from his contracts. It is those moves that have enabled him to smartly (and quickly) grow his wealth. Not only does Booker have a few large contracts with the Suns, but he also garnered a good share of endorsements and made smart investments with his early earnings. That’s a good chunk of change, especially for someone who’s only been in the league for a few years, but it makes sense given how well he’s done in the NBA. While there’s no specific number out there, Booker’s net worth lies somewhere between $30 and $50 million.
