Ben Simmons – $6 Million

Philadelphia 76ers player Ben Simmons has been playing for the NBA team since 2016, so it’s not surprising that he is already worth $6 million as of 2021, according to Wealthy Gorilla. On top of his playing earnings, he also has a slew of endorsement deals with big brands, perhaps the biggest of which is the $20-million contract with Nike.

Ahead of the 2019-2020 season, Simmons signed a $177-million deal for five years with the Sixers, according to ClutchPoint. Plus, the basketball player, who is linked to TV star Maya Jama, previously appeared in commercials for Beats by Dre and Foot Locker.
