How Much is Derrick Rose Worth?
Derrick Rose has one of the most lucrative endorsement deals in the sporting world, having sealed a $1 million per year deal in 2008 with the largest sportswear manufacturing brand in Europe, Adidas which is the second-largest in the world after Nike. At the time, he was playing for Chicago Bulls, a National Basketball Association team he joined during the 2008 NBA draft after signing a two-year contract worth $10 million with the franchise on 1st July 2008.
At the early stages of his career, Rose was one of the top point guards in the league. Following his exceptional performances on the court, he landed a contract extension worth about $5.5 million for the 2010-2011 season with the Bulls where he played for eight seasons. On 25th October 2010, he re-signed another deal for the 2011-2012 season that was worth up to $6.99 million.
Having clinched the National Basketball Association Most Valuable Player in 2011 along with being named to the NBA All-star selection in 2010 and 2011, Derrick Rose was handed a 5-year rookie scale extension deal with Chicago Bulls on 21st December 2011, worth about $94.3 million.
