NBA Career Earnings: Top 20 Richest NBA Players of All-Time

20. Rashard Lewis – $155,332,815

The 16-yard veteran entered the NBA straight out of high school and is a two-time All-Star and won a championship as a role player with the 2013 Miami Heat. Lewis made the bulk of his money when the Seattle Supersonics and Orlando Magic agreed to a sign-and-trade on a six-year deal with more than $110 million in 2007. At the peak of his deal, Lewis was making $21.2 million a season.

19. Pau Gasol – $156,574,396

The four-time All-Star and two-time champion with the Los Angeles Lakers is no longer the $19 million player he was at the end of his run with the Lakers after signing a three-year deal with the Chicago Bulls worth $22 million.

18. Gilbert Arenas – $163,061,257

Agent Zero was one of the game’s best scorers from 2004-2007 before knee injuries derailed his career, but he was still being paid like one of the league’s best players when he made $20.8 million in the 2012-2013 season despite not playing a single game.

Easily one of the worst contracts in the league when he signed a six-year, $111 million deal with the Washington Wizards in 2008. He would play 55 more games in a Washington uniform and 121 overall after signing the extension.
