The essentials
Celebrity Net Worth currently estimates $180 million and reports just under $299 million in NBA salary through 2025–26. Gross salary is not retained net worth. [1]
Dallas and Thompson terminated the final year of his three-year, $50 million deal in August 2026. The original face value is therefore not the same as cash ultimately paid. [2]
Miami signed Thompson for about $11.5 million over two years, with the second season at his option. Dallas dead money and Miami salary must not be double-counted as new wealth. [2]

Klay Thompson’s career finances changed twice in 2026. Anta converted a long endorsement relationship into a lifetime partnership, then Dallas bought out the last year of his contract and Miami signed him to a smaller two-year deal.
Those events make the old article’s “final Dallas year at $17.5 million” and unrestricted-free-agency forecast obsolete. The updated profile separates salary already earned, abandoned contract value, new Miami pay and endorsement terms. Net Worth VIP — methodology
01 / The road
An NBA family, Washington State and the 2011 draft
Thompson was born in Los Angeles in 1990. His father Mychal was the first pick of the 1978 NBA draft and won two championships; his mother Julie played college volleyball. Brothers Mychel and Trayce also reached professional sports. NBA — Klay Thompson bio
At Washington State, Thompson scored 1,756 points in three seasons and left as the school’s career leader in three-pointers. Golden State selected him eleventh in 2011. NBA — Klay Thompson bio
His financial base begins with NBA salary, but career gross is reduced by tax, agent fees, training, spending and investment results before it becomes personal net worth.
02 / The Warriors
Four titles, two lost seasons and a guaranteed maximum contract
With Stephen Curry, Thompson formed the Splash Brothers and won championships in 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2022. The NBA credits him with the single-game record of 14 made three-pointers and the single-quarter record of 37 points. NBA — Klay Thompson bio
After tearing his ACL in the 2019 Finals, Thompson agreed to a five-year maximum contract reported at roughly $190 million. He then tore his Achilles and missed both 2019–20 and 2020–21 while the guaranteed contract continued. CBS Sports — 2019 Warriors contract
That sequence shows what a guarantee protects: salary under the signed contract. It does not establish what was retained after taxes or what a later team would pay.
03 / The estimate
$180 million beside contracts that measure different things
Celebrity Net Worth lists $180 million and says Thompson collected just under $299 million of NBA salary through 2025–26. Neither figure discloses current investments, liabilities, tax reserves or spending. Celebrity Net Worth — Klay Thompson
The 2024 Dallas agreement carried a three-year, $50 million face value. It ended after two seasons through a buyout, so multiplying the scheduled annual figures or adding the full $50 million to career cash would overstate what the contract necessarily paid. ESPN — 2024 Dallas sign-and-trade · NBA/AP — Thompson signs with Miami
Miami’s reported two-year, approximately $11.5 million contract includes a player option for year two. A player option is a choice, not guaranteed evidence that both seasons will be played and paid exactly as scheduled.

| Celebrity Net Worth — Klay Thompson | Just under $299M | Reported NBA salary through 2025–26, before personal costs and tax. |

04 / Anta
A lifetime label without a public lifetime value
Anta says Thompson became its first basketball athlete with a lifetime partnership during 2026 All-Star Weekend. The KT line had reached eleven generations by the announcement. ANTA — lifetime partnership
The company disclosed duration, product plans and brand significance but no guarantee, annual fee, royalty percentage or equity. Those missing terms prevent a responsible valuation.
Earlier reports placed a 2017 Anta extension at up to $80 million including incentives and royalties. Even that reported ceiling should not be confused with the undisclosed economics of the new lifetime agreement.
05 / Miami and private life
A new team, a smaller contract and no confirmed current partner
NBA/AP reported on August 24, 2026 that Thompson cleared waivers and joined Miami after a Dallas buyout. The Heat deal is about $11.5 million across two years, with the second at his option. NBA/AP — Thompson signs with Miami
Thompson and Megan Thee Stallion made their relationship public in July 2025. She announced the breakup in April 2026. No later source checked for this profile establishes a new partner; photos with an unidentified companion do not do that. Harper’s Bazaar — relationship timeline
Thompson has never publicly documented a marriage or children. The profile states only what the public record supports and does not turn rumor into biography.
