Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s rise to NBA superstardom has been nothing short of remarkable.
The Oklahoma City Thunder guard capped off a dominant 2024-25 season by being crowned the league’s Most Valuable Player, edging out Nikola Jokic in a heated race that had fans and analysts debating all year.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s net worth as he claims NBA stardom
Known for his smooth style and scoring efficiency, Gilgeous-Alexander led the NBA in points while guiding his team to the league’s top record, finally claiming the MVP trophy after finishing in the top five the previous two seasons.
Game Recap: Pacers 138, Knicks 135
At just 26 years old, he’s already built a résumé that includes All-NBA honors, All-Star appearances, and international success with Team Canada.
Now, alongside his growing list of accolades, the focus shifts to the financial rewards that come with such elite performance.
Gilgeous-Alexander’s net worth is currently estimated at $50 million, a figure backed by a lucrative contract and his consistent on-court excellence.
In 2021, he agreed to a five-year, $172 million extension with the Thunder.
The deal pays him an average of $34 million annually, climbing to $40 million by its final year.
But with his new MVP title, Shai is positioned to secure an even more massive payday.
Eligible for a supermax extension in 2025, Gilgeous-Alexander could sign a four-year contract worth nearly $295 million.
That would reset the bar for NBA contracts, with escalating annual salaries that could make him the first player in league history to earn more than $80 million in a single season.
By the final year of the potential deal in 2030-31, his salary could hit a record-setting $81.4 million, a figure that dwarfs the total earnings of past legends, including Michael Jordan, whose career earnings fell just short of $95 million.
Born in Toronto and raised in Hamilton, Ontario, Gilgeous-Alexander has gone from standout college player at Kentucky to franchise cornerstone in Oklahoma City.
His journey, which includes international medals and playoff runs, has turned him into both a household name and a financial powerhouse in the making.
As his career continues to flourish, so too will his earnings, and if his trajectory holds, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s bank account might soon be as jaw-dropping as his stat lines.
