The decision is made. Giannis Antetokounmpo is officially a Milwaukee Buck for the next five years as the 'Greek Freak' signed a whopping $228.2M supermax, including an opt-out after the fourth year. According to BBC, this is now the richest deal in the NBA's history after it surpassed $228M set by Houston Rockets' James Harden in 2017. This just skyrockets Giannis' net worth that's estimated to be around $60M, according to celebrity net worth.
Giannis is listed as the 18th highest-paid athlete of 2020. He roughly makes around $47.6M, a major chunk of which comes from his brand endorsements. His average annual salary also surpasses Washington Wizards guard Russell Westbrook, who signed a five-year deal worth $206.8M with his former side, Oklahoma City Thunder, the equivalent of $41.4M per year.
