There are very few NBA fans across the world who haven’t heard of Victor Wembanyama. Despite being an international player in a French professional league, Wemby has been highly scouted and predicted to be a talent capable of revolutionizing any franchise that drafts him.
After all, his height is listed as 7’5 and Victor is only 19 years old. That would make him more than 6 inches taller when compared to NBA stars like Kevin Durant. There is no denying that his height has been the main reason for the attention he has already generated.
Although Wembanyama isn’t an NBA player yet, he is presumably getting paid while playing for the Metropolitans 92 of the LNB Pro A. With that being said, fans should certainly want to know about his net worth and how much money Victor has already earned so far in his young career.
Victor Wembanyama has a net worth of $1.5 million in 2023
It turns out that the 19-year-old French phenom has already managed to make a substantial amount of money before making it into the NBA. According to several reports, he is estimated to have a net worth of around $1.5 million as of 2023.
While this might seem like a large sum of money, it really isn’t compared to how much American Athletes are making at the collegiate level. Bronny James already has 10.5 million in his own name via multiple endorsements and other entrepreneurial ventures. This shows the gap in the monetization of the sport across the world. After all, fans should certainly wonder if Bronny is worth almost 10x of Wemby considering where they are at the moment in their respective careers.
Several players like Zion Williamson and LaMelo Ball managed to make a lot of money even before playing in the NBA. However, another reason for Wemby’s lower net worth is the simple fact that he does not care much about money. In fact, there are no official reports indicating that Wembanyama has signed any endorsement contract or deal.
That seems to be setting him apart from other young and upcoming athletes with aspirations to make it into the NBA. Although some feel that Wembanyama’s first endorsement deal after making the NBA will be worth over $100 million, he is yet to pursue advertising himself and seems to be dedicated to basketball. In any case, we wish him the best in his upcoming career.
