Stephen Curry

The Golden State Warriors basketball professional earned $45.8 million (from salary and winnings) and $47 million (from endorsement), totaling $92.8 million in 2022, making him one of the highest-paid athletes in 2022. Unfortunately, Curry was among the victims that lost fortunes in the 2022 FTX Investment scam. Bankman-Fried, the Founder and CEO of FTX, was the defendant in the civil complaint filed in the Southern District of New York, where he was accused of raising more than $1.8 billion from investors and diverting billions of dollars to grow his business empire.
