The biggest NBA seasons ever paid

Devin Booker, $64,926,400 (2027-28), against a career total of $401,105,653.

$10,185,082,720 across the 250 rows here, an average of $40,740,331 each. The ten at the top hold 6.0% of it.

250 of the 250 rows.

Contract money and nothing else: basic salary, signing bonus, incentives and a trade bonus where a deal carried one. No endorsement, no appearance fee, no business income.

Because below it the question stops being interesting: the 775 careers on record produce tens of thousands of rows on this cut, and the ranking that matters is the top of it. The all-time list carries every career we hold.
