Giannis Antetokounmpo – $47M
Giannis Antetokounmpo’s nickname, “Greek Freak,” may sound racist, but it’s not what you think. Well, he is Greek, and he’s got basketball skills that are out of this world, which gave birth to the rhyming moniker. With a super height of six feet and 11 inches, Antetokounmpo was meant to be a basketball player.
The young athlete was drafted to the “NBA” in 2013 when he was merely a teenager, and today, he is worth a whopping $70 million, while also making an annual income of $47 million. It looks like the “Milwaukee Bucks” really need him in the team. His quick success invited sponsorships from brands like “Nike.”
