Jimmy Butler became the latest addition to the Golden State Warriors’ formidable offensive lineup last month before the trade deadline. The forward’s 13-year NBA career has taken him to multiple cities and earned him significant wealth.
The 35-year-old was the linchpin for the Miami Heat for several seasons. However, his return to the Western Conference marks another rise in his contractual earnings.
Jimmy Butler’s Salary and Contract
In 2021, Butler signed a three-year, $146.4 million max contract extension with the Heat. This season, he is set to earn $48.8 million, which will be covered by the Warriors after the trade. However, after this season, his new two-year contract extension will take effect, which he signed after moving to San Francisco.
Butler’s extension with the Warriors is worth $111 million, beginning in the 2025-26 season. This will increase his salary to approximately $55.5 million per year over the next two seasons.
The six-time NBA All-Star has come a long way from earning an average of $2 million per year on his rookie deal with the Chicago Bulls. His salary jumped to $19 million per year in 2015 after he re-signed with the Bulls. However, with a massive contract comes significant expectations, and Butler will have plenty of responsibilities on his shoulders in Golden State.
Butler’s Career Earnings and Net Worth
Butler’s 13-year NBA career—spent with multiple teams while maintaining elite performance—has helped him amass a sizable fortune. According to historical data, by the end of the 2024-25 season, Butler’s career earnings will be approximately $312 million.
By the time his contract with the Warriors expires after the 2026-27 season, Butler will have earned more than $423 million in NBA salary alone. That total would place the 2016 Olympic gold medalist among the top 10 highest earners in NBA history.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Butler has accumulated a net worth of $80 million. In addition to his NBA contracts, he has secured endorsement deals with major brands such as Google, Hulu, Li-Ning, and State Farm. He also owns Bigface Coffee, a coffee brand where he roasts his own beans and operates a shop in Miami.
The Warriors star remains active in brand partnerships, collaborating with companies such as Alo Yoga and Anheuser-Busch on social media. Additionally, Butler runs a YouTube channel with nearly a million subscribers, adding another revenue stream to his growing financial portfolio.
