He is currently one of the top earners when it comes to professional basketball, earning a salary of $29 million, and that’s excluding the money he makes through various endorsements. In fact, outside of the sport, Kevin Durant has managed to bank $65 million, with much credit to his various other business ventures. Quite the multitasker, isn’t he? Through the years, he has worked with many big brands, including the likes of Nike and Gatorade. Along the way, the basketball player also tried his luck in the acting business and starred in the family comedy feature Thunderstruck.

Durant is also a prolific venture capital investor and owns a number of small stakes in companies such as Acorns and Postmates. With that said, he also became a minority owner for MLS’ Philadelphia Union. Although his current stakes on the team are at 5%, it’s still possible for Durant to get it increased up to 10%.
