From a high school sensation to an NBA superstar, Trae Young’s rise has been nothing short of impressive — and his net worth reflects it.
As of February 2025, the Atlanta Hawks point guard has a net worth of approximately $50 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
Young's journey began when he was selected by the Dallas Mavericks with the fifth overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft. However, he was traded to the Hawks in exchange for Luka Dončić – a trade that has since sparked endless comparisons between the two rising stars.
Before making his NBA debut, Young signed a lucrative footwear deal with Adidas worth $1.8 million annually, joining a roster that includes big names like James Harden and Damian Lillard. His financial success grew as he made his mark on the court, starting with a $5.3 million rookie salary and an impressive 19.1 points per game. By his sophomore season, he was a starter in the All-Star game and made $5.8 million, averaging 29.6 points and 9.3 assists.
In 2021, Young secured a massive five-year, $172 million extension with the Hawks, which was later bumped to $207 million after making All-NBA.
Young was ejected from Tuesday night's game against the Orlando Magic for “making a mockery of the game,” according to referee James Williams. Despite the setback, he still remains one of the NBA’s most exciting talents with a paycheck to match.
