Kevin
Durant just landed himself in the number 10 spot on the Forbes Worlds Highest Paid Athlete's
list for 2019 and with all that money well he's been showing off a little.
What he's trying to do is give you a tour of his house but don't worry I got you covered
and found a video tour given by a real estate agent.
He's also recently bought himself a crib in New
York City after selling his Malibu Beach pad for a cool $13.5 Million.
For whips, Kevin Durant has been photographed with a Camaro SS, Ferrari California, and
a white Range Rover and does not own a $1.4 Million dollar Pagani telling TMZ he can't
afford it.
But trust me, he can afford it.
In fact KD has his eye on buying something much bigger.
He plans on owning his own NBA team and moving it to Seattle.
Big ambitions but when your instagram handle is @ Easy Money Sniper it sounds like he's
the type of guy to get er done.
This is one of the greatest rags to riches stories I've ever told.
It's also been hell trying to piece this one together with KD having lived in a bunch of
different mansions over the years.
The dude is well on his way to becoming a $200 Million Dollar Man and were talking money
in the bank, this makes him one of the richest basketball players in the world!
His current contract with the Warriors is bringing him in $30 Million dollars a year
and wait till you hear what he earns off of endorsement deals!
Despite all this wealth Durant likes to keep it humble, he's still a real dude who deals
with real problems like having his dog take a shit while he's giving a tour of his Oakland
house.
What's going on guys?
It's your boy Michael McCrudden documenting the financial come up of Kevin Durant here
for you on The Rich Life.
With the NBA Championship in full swing we've covered most of the players on both Golden
State and The Raptors.
Recent drops include Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green.
You can check those out by clicking on our The Rich Life playlist.
Your trivia question in this video is as follows: Who is currently the only Black majority owner
of an NBA team at the time of this recording...
Place your guesses in the comments down below.
Be pretty cool to do a Rich Life video on that man.
Aright, now let's roll that intro.
Kevin Durant was born on September 29, 1988 in Washington, D.C which at the time of this
recording makes him 31 years old.
When talking about his Rich Life it's important to note where he came from.
When he was a toddler his dad walked out on him, his older brother and his mother while
she scrapped by working nights at a post office.
There has actually be a lifetime film made about his mom and their struggle titled The
Real MVP: The Wanda Durant Story.
Kevin's father eventually came back into the picture around the age of 13 and began taking
young Kevin to his tournaments.
The road to the NBA was long and hard but it all paid off on when Kevin was selected
2nd overall in the 2007 NBA Draft.
When your the 2nd Draft pick overall well you get a pretty hefty salary with Kevin earning
over $4 Million dollars for his first few seasons and it was money well spent.
He put a record by making 18 points, 5 rebounds and 3 steals in his first game, against Denver
Nuggets.
He was also the top scorer in the NBA for the 2009-2010 season, becoming the youngest
player to earn the title.
After the 2007-2008 season, The Seattle Sonics would eventually become the Oklahoma City
Thunder
so that's probably why Durant plans to bring a team back to the city of Starbucks.
According to HoopsHype.com his salary soared up to $6 Million and then $15 Million and
eventually over $20 Million in his 9 seasons with the Thunder.
His move to Golden State not only made earned him some Championship W's but it also came
with a new contract of $54.3 million over 2 years making him the highest paid player
on the team.
Again the money was well spent with the team winning the 2017 NBA championship and Kevin
being named the NBA Finals MVP.
Like I said, what an amazing Rags to Riches story.
Kevin's current contract is $61.5 Million over 2 years and one would expect he would
be demanding as much as $40 Million for the next season but his injuries might cost more
than just game time.
Not to fret, Durant Kevin earns an additional $36 million from endorsement deals with companies
like Gatorade, Degree, 2K Sports, Sprint, and Nike.
Back in 2014 he signed a 10 year deal which could pay up to $300 Million.
KD has also launched his own underwear line in partnership with Neff and Footlocker and
has his own restaurant KD's Southern Cuisine.
He's also invested in more than 30 companies, including Postmates and investing app Acorns.
He also gives back opening an after school facility called College Track at The Durant
Centre in his hometown of Prince George County Maryland.
This centre provices low-income students with the resources they need to make it college.
Aright so now we know that KD is a very rich m an with multiple streams of money so let's
get into what he spends it on.
KD has lived in a number of different mansions over the years.
Back in 2016 he picked up headlines for rented a $15 Million dollar mansion in the Hamptons
for 10 days which set him back a cool $100K.
It was at this house that Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green payed him a visit
to get to him to join Golden State.
Back when Durant was playing for Oklahoma city he split his time between Oklahoma City
and Miami.
7,000 sq ft town house which was actually two town houses merged into one.
He paid $1,769,000 for the place in 2013, spent money on upgrades, and wound up selling
it all for $1.1 million in March 2017.
He's also owned a $3.6 Million dollar 3 bedroom condo in Miami which he parted ways with in
2015.
Since playing with the Warriors he's been splitting his time between The Bay & LA.
His Okaland Hills mansion his 5 bedroom with 4.5 bathrooms and killer views
But in the off season he liked to take a trip down to Malibuto stay in his $12 Million dollar
beachfront pad.
The multi-level house, built in 1976 and recently remodeled, is tailored for beachfront living
with sliding walls of glass and terrace balconies on three levels.
It's got four bedrooms and six bathrooms within more than 5,100 square feet of interior space.
There’s also an elevator.
An outdoor spa and dining patio finish off the indoor-outdoor setting.
Sounds like a little slice of paradise but KD recently put this one up on the market
and it sold for $13.5 Million.
Researching this video I found out that he's recently picked up some new property in New
York City so perhaps that's where he'll be playing next year?
When it comes to cars, one of the first KD bought wasn't for himself but his older brother
Tony gifting him a 2007 Dodge Charger.
Kevin's been spotted with a Ferrari California, Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, White Range Rover,
Matte Red Camaro SS and because I'm the Fact God I also found video footage of him in his
garage.
Of course his long term goal is to own his own NBA franchise with plans to bring the
Sonics back to Seattle.
If this happens he will be the 2nd black majority owner of an NBA team after Michael Jordan
with the Charlotte Hornets.
That's your answer
to the question from off the top.
How about a The Rich Life on Michael Jordan?
