Klay Thompson, a 6’6 guard, was selected by the Golden State Warriors with the eleventh choice in the 2011 NBA Draft. Thompson, a Washington State graduate, was expected to provide support for Stephen Curry, who was rapidly ascending. Thompson’s stature, shooting prowess, and two-way style of play made him an invaluable member of the Warriors.

In the last seven years, Klay has played a significant role in each of the Warriors’ four championships. Thanks to his accomplishments on the court, Thompson has made over $182 million in his 11 seasons with the Dubs. Klay now has a net worth of approximately $85 million, and that amount is only expected to rise.

Klay is able to purchase practically everything he wants. For him, though, it wasn’t always like this. Though his father was a two-time NBA Champion with the Lakers, the Warriors guard wasn’t always wealthy. Mychal Thompson, his father, saw to it that way.

Klay Thompson used to receive a weekly stipend from his NBA paycheck.

Young children frequently join the NBA and have access to greater wealth than they have ever seen. This typically leads to reckless spending, which causes the player in question to run out of money when they need it most.

Julie Thompson and Mychal did not wish Klay to have the same. Mychal stated in an interview with ESPN that although it’s not a good idea to drink and drive, Klay’s father undoubtedly assisted him in managing his money so that his future was secure. We sincerely hope that, having won four titles, Dad has now granted Klay access to his money so he can spend it anyway he pleases.
