Biography & Early Wealth Journey
The superstar took a bit of a hometown discount with this deal. Curry could have signed for about $20 million more over the duration of the deal, so the Warriors are saving around $10 million per season. They'll use that extra cash to either sign current players, such as Jimmy Butler, to longer contracts, or they might be able to lure a free agent to the Bay Area.

To date, Curry has made a little over $470.1 million over his NBA career, per Spotrac. He's set to make just under $62.6 million this upcoming season before the new deal kicks in. By the time that contract is complete, assuming Curry opts into the second-year option, he'll be approaching $650 million in career earnings.
Primary Income Streams & Multi-Million Contracts
If he's still playing at a fairly high level and his shooting remains elite, he could potentially sign one final deal with the Warriors. Two years and $100 million might be a lot for a player who would be 41 at that point, but the Warriors and Curry would have spent two decades together. Maybe they still offer him a financially lucrative package for his last contract and he tops three-quarters of a billion dollars in on-court earnings.
Of course, Curry has made plenty off the court, as well. He's had endorsement deals with Under Armour, Li-Ning, and Google, among other major companies. His Unanimous Media production company has created multiple shows, and his Underrated Golf Tour has provided access, opportunity, and equity to youth golfers.
Collectively, between his Warriors contracts and endorsement deals, Curry has made over $1 billion during his NBA career. Not bad for an undersized two-guard coming out of college. He's only turned into one of the wealthiest players of all time, and he's the greatest shooter the league has ever seen.
