James Harden is a rich man, and he's getting richer by the day. Outside of the $47 million he's made so far in his NBA career, there's another $15,719,062 he’ll make from the Rockets this season. There’s $16,744,218 he’ll make next season. And there’s $17,769,374 he’ll make the season after that before becoming a free agent. Oh yeah, and then there’s that $200 million adidas deal he signed back in August. You know, just in case all those NBA checks aren’t enough. Like we said, RICH.
ESPN The Magazine just did a cover story on Harden and, in it, there’s a lot of talk about how life has changed for Harden over the last few years thanks to his newfound wealth. ESPN senior writer Pablo S. Torre writes at length about Harden's relationship with Khloe Kardashian. He describes the beautiful 25,000-square-foot Calabasas, Calif. mansion that Harden rents, and the red-and-black Rolls-Royce Ghost that he drives. And he also points out that Harden has a money-counting machine that he keeps on a chair in his dining room. Because when you’re raking in the kind of money Harden is right now, who has time to count it all?!
The only thing Torre doesn’t mention Harden having? An ATM like the one DeShawn Stevensonused to keep in his kitchen. But hey, those adidas checks probably haven’t started coming in yet. So maybe that’s next?
