Kevin Durant is always focused on expanding his horizons, and even though he has made a lot of money in the NBA, he never stops adding more.
Durant has been one of the best players in the league for the last 7 years, always being the best or second best, depending on the state of his injury.
When he’s on the pitch, he’s a threat. Durant became the villain of the NBA for a while when he joined the Golden State Warriors, as everyone felt he was taking the easy road to becoming NBA champion, joining a team that was already unstoppable.
The league got used to it though, Durant won two titles and is now looking to build his identity outside of the Warriors with the Brooklyn Nets.
Kevin Durant has a net worth of $200 millionsomething he has accumulated by doing more off the court to build his brand with various investments.

Kevin Durant teamed up with Dwyane Wade, Logan Paul and Deshaun Watson for a $40 million investment
Durant’s business portfolio is growing as we seek, and he took a big break in 2021 by joining The Cherin Group and other big names to invest in Goldin Auctions.
Goldin Auctions is a leading brand of sports collectibles, being a place where you can buy and sell valuable sports memorabilia and even store valuable auction items that you have.
Along with KD and The Cherin Group, big names like Dwyane Wade, Deshaun Watson, Mark Wahlberg, Bill Simmons, Timothy “Timbaland” Mosley, Logan Paul and Mark Cuban joined the $40 million investment.
The money will be used to grow the company by funding its technology department and expanding the company’s general operations and audience development.
Durant took a $10 million pay cut to play with Stephen Curry
When Durant joined the Warriors, people instantly blasted him, but there were a few minor details that teams didn’t notice about his move.
However, since he was teaming up with other superstars in Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, someone had to take a pay cut.
Durant was the most flexible about this, even sacrificing $10 million in 2018 in order to stay with the team. However, he just goes to show that even though KD wasn’t making the most money on the court, he always has that entrepreneurial mindset to look elsewhere for opportunities like he did with Goldin.
