Kevin Durant's net worth after investing into $4.6 billion sports giant
Kevin Durant is set to be traded by the Phoenix Suns, but the two-time NBA champion has decided to look further afield from the league when it comes to investment
NBA superstar Kevin Durant has directly purchased a minority stake in UEFA Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain.
PSG won the Champions League in dominant fashion last month, crushing Inter Milan 5-1. Victor Wembanyama is a huge fan of the Ligue 1 champions, but it’s Durant who has ensured there is an NBA connection to its ownership.
On Friday, Qatar Sports Investments - PSG’s majority shareholder - signed an investment and strategic partnership agreement with Durant, who has had to defend his NBA resume recently. His Phoenix Suns missed the playoffs in 2024-25, even as he averaged 26.6 points per game.
Durant is one of the best players of his generation. He has established himself as one of the great shot makers in history, winning two NBA championships - winning Finals MVP on both occasions - while he helped Team USA win gold at the Paris Olympics.
“It is an honor to partner with QSI and be a shareholder in Paris Saint-Germain - a club and city that is deeply close to my heart,” Durant said in a statement. “This club has big plans, and I look forward to being part of the next phase of growth and exploring new investment opportunities with QSI.”
PSG - a club valued at $4.6 billion - confirmed the news, too: “Under the terms of the partnership, Durant - via his media and investment company Boardroom, co-founded with longtime business partner Rich Kleiman - will acquire a direct minority stake in the club
Durant took home $51.2 million in salary, adding to his mammoth earnings raked in across his illustrious career. He has a staggering net worth of $300 million thanks to a combination of his salary, endorsements, and investments.

Durant has endorsement income from companies like Gatorade, Nike, and Degree. He owns small stakes in a number of companies, including Postmates, while his media company has production deals with Fox, ESPN, Apple, and Showtime.
Ultimately, the financial terms of the deal between Durant and QSI were not disclosed.
However, Durant’s announcement will likely boost PSG amid rumors the NBA, FIBA, and other bodies are in talks regarding a new league in Europe.
Durant’s Boardroom Sports Holdings and QSI are set to work together across a wide range of initiatives. PSG hope Durant will support the French club’s development in the U.S. and other international markets, too.
“Together with Kevin, we look forward to developing ambitious initiatives that will drive the continued global growth of Paris Saint-Germain and QSI,” PSG president Nasser Al Khelaifi added.
Durant has invested in sports teams before. In 2020, he acquired a five percent stake in the Philadelphia Union of the MLS.
