Nikola Jokic can’t seem to shake the tax man.
Reportedly, Nikola Jokic’s net worth stands at roughly $30 million, thanks, in part, to his massive $272 million contract extension with the Denver Nuggets in 2022. As of the current season, the Serbian center will be earning around $32 million, which, when added to his previous NBA salaries totaling over $150 million, makes for an impressive financial portfolio. Moreover, he reportedly adds another $750,000 per year from various endorsement deals.
But an eye-opening tweet shows what he actually takes home following taxes.
