Why Net Worth Isn’t Just Salary and Endorsements

Anthony Davis Net Worth, Salary and TaxesA lot of people make the mistake of adding up a sports star’s salary and endorsements and calling that net worth. But that simplistic approach overlooks two important factors: Taxes and expenses. NBA stars like Anthony Davis aren’t immune to Uncle Sam’s demands. They also tend to have agent fees and living expenses to contend with.

While Davis doesn’t make his tax returns public, we know he’s in a 39.6% federal tax bracket. Living in Louisiana puts him in a relatively low state tax slot of 6% per year. That gives the player a 45.6% total tax rate. Applying that to his yearly earnings gives a lifetime tax bill of $14 million siphoning off from the Anthony Davis net worth sum. Estimating expenses at about 10% of income takes another $3 million over the course of Davis’ career. Investments likely add back another 6% or $573,000 total after taxes.
