Andrew Wiggins Net Worth

Although there is no precise information on his net worth online, numerous sources appear to concur that it is somewhere in the range of $35 million.

Others have reported that it is less than the sum listed above.

In 2014, Andrew began his professional career with the Minnesota Timberwolves. As the top pick in the draft, the team had paid him approximately $5.5 for his rookie campaign.

After his debut season, Wiggins worked for the Timberwolves until 2019, earning over $44 million before joining the Golden State Warriors.

His 2017 $148 million contract with the Timberwolves was voided due to the trade. He made a ton of money playing for the Warriors in the first two seasons.

For the 2021–22 season, the Warriors made him an annual contract offer of $31.5 million. He is now the Golden State Warriors' third-highest player.

His NBA career has already brought in more than $105 million.

Even though his league games are his main source of income, Wiggins makes a lot of money through brand endorsement deals. He has endorsed several brands, including Adidas, Bio Steel, Fitbit, etc.

Injuries & Covid-19 Vaccination

Because he rarely gets hurt, Andrew Wiggins has been available for his team during the games, unlike many best NBA players. Due to a painful knee, he missed a few games in 2018 and had to leave the floor.

Before that, he had missed a few games in 2015 because of a knee ailment. So far in his career, he hasn't had any serious setbacks.

He received harsh criticism when he decided against receiving the Covid vaccine in 2021. The NBA had mandated that everyone receive vaccination by October 13 of that particular year, but he had said he wouldn't.

Fortunately, he backtracked and gave himself a dose of a Johnson & Johnson vaccine in October. He did ask the NBA to exempt him from immunization, which they rejected.

The NBA might have permanently suspended him if he hadn't followed the rules. If not, he might have forfeited a significant portion of his yearly compensation.

A few months later, Wiggins entered the Covid-19 health and safety regulations in December, although he started playing again in early 2022.
