Scottie Barnes is arguably one of the biggest stars in the Toronto Raptors since the era of DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry. While Kawhi Leonard is technically the biggest star to play for the Raptors in recent memory, he only played for one year with the team.
For the second time in his career, Barnes is set to participate in the 2026 NBA All-Star Game. He has once again earned his merits, especially now that the Raptors seem to be worthy contenders in the playoffs this year.
Scottie Barnes’ Career Earnings
Given Barnes’s evolution in the NBA, some might wonder whether he’s being paid like the star he is today. There’s no denying the potential Barnes has shown recently. Since becoming an All-Star in 2024, the Raptors star has consistently maintained his numbers across the board.
This season, Barnes has proved why he was deserving of the max extension Toronto awarded him last year. Looking at his numbers this season, he’s averaging 19.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.6 blocks, and 1.3 steals. His all-around play has helped the Raptors stay within the top six teams in the Eastern Conference, as Toronto is currently in fifth place with a 32-22 record.
Speaking of his max extension, Barnes signed a five-year deal worth $224.2 million, including $224,238,150 guaranteed and an average annual salary of $44,847,630.
According to sources, these numbers make him the highest-paid Raptors player in history.
Prior to his max deal, Barnes was under a rookie contract that ran for four years. He earned a total of $33,064,660.
Given how Barnes is only playing in the first year of his current contract, his total net worth remains unknown. However, based on his current earnings, he has an estimated net worth of $40 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
Outside the NBA, he has endorsement deals with Nike and several other companies. The other companies are mostly partnerships and marketing deals to help both parties boost their presence.
By the time Barnes’ contract expires in 2030, his net worth will surely be much higher. As for his other deals outside the league, it’ll depend on how he performs individually moving forward. Companies tend to acquire NBA players who have high marketability.
If the two-time NBA All-Star can keep his game consistent in the next five years of his career, he’s sure to get more endorsement deals from more prominent companies.
Now with the presence of Brandon Ingram in the Raptors roster, this year could be his chance to prove to NBA fans his capabilities to compete in the postseason.
