Russell Westbrook

Russell Westbrook is a two-time scoring champ and in 2017 won the league’s MVP; he’s the only player to average a triple-double in three straight seasons. He is ranked 12th on the 2020 World’s Highest-Paid Athletes with a $56m.

In 2017, Westbrook signed a five-year extension with the Thunder worth $207 million, the league’s biggest-ever contract in terms of total value, according to Forbes.

The Olympic gold medalist owns five-car dealerships in the Los Angeles area that add millions of dollars to his bank account.
