Cameron Boozer has barely begun his NBA career, but the money is already coming in. The 19-year-old was picked third overall by the Memphis Grizzlies in June and signed a rookie contract worth nearly $54 million over four years. Before that, he was one of the biggest names in college basketball at Duke, with deals from Jordan Brand, Crocs and Samsung. He has also started his rookie season with a triple-double in only his fifth game, and the Grizzlies are unbeaten.

Cameron Boozer's rookie contract is worth $53.8 million

No official net worth figure has been released for Boozer, so his earnings are best judged from his contract. Memphis drafted him on June 23, 2026, and he signed a four-year, $53.8 million rookie scale deal on July 13, according to Spotrac. That works out to about $13.45 million a year.

His pay rises each season. He earns $11.85 million in 2026-27, followed by $12.44 million in 2027-28, $13.03 million in 2028-29 and $16.48 million in 2029-30. The last two years are team options, which means Memphis decides whether to keep him on that deal. He becomes a restricted free agent in 2030.

NIL deals and a famous basketball family

Boozer was already earning before he turned pro. In his one season at Duke, he averaged 22.7 points, 10.2 rebounds and 4.1 assists, and many saw him as the best player in college basketball. His NIL value was put at about $2.2 million, the 15th highest among all college athletes.

His partners included Jordan Brand, Leaf Trading Cards, 2K Sports and Crocs. In March, he and his twin brother Cayden added Samsung, appearing in ads for the Galaxy S26 Ultra around March Madness. After signing with Leaf, he said a trading card of his own was something he had dreamed of since he was a kid.

Basketball runs in the family. His father, Carlos Boozer, played 13 years in the NBA, won an Olympic gold medal in 2008 and earned about $146 million in salary. Carlos also played at Duke, the school both sons chose.
