Russell Westbrook has big aspirations besides his NBA goals. The Los Angeles Clippers player wants to get as much money as possible and he’s ready to reach a new level with his income.
“I want to be a billionaire,” he told Forbes. “Sooner than later.”
Westbrook has an estimated net worth of $375 million combining his salary and the money he’s gotten from sponsors. He’s not even halfway through his goal, but the 2017 NBA MVP knows this is a gettable achievement.
Brodie is confident that he can get to that number and tie the only three billionaire athletes in history: Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Tiger Woods. Westbrook is relying on his mantra to achieve this, making it clear he won’t rest until he reaches this goal.
“My mantra is ‘Why not?’ I live by that,” he says. “It took 75 years for somebody to average a triple-double. Well, I did it four times.”
Players like Stephen Curry could break into this group, but that will happen after his career is over. Meanwhile, Westbrook is trying to reach the next level and hit a milestone that only a very exclusive group of players have hit.
Russell Westbrook Is Once Again Looking For A New Team
This offseason, Westbrook will seemingly try to get another team in the league. After leading the Los Angeles Clippers in every category during the 2023 NBA Playoffs, Westbrook revitalized his career following his bad stint with the Lakers.
The Clippers are reportedly ready to bring him back, but they may not have enough money to pay Russ. There are a couple of destinations that can fit Westbrook this offseason, but time will tell how this situation plays out.
The last couple of seasons have been a rollercoaster for Westbrook and now he’s ready to find some stability, either on the Clippers or a different squad.
