Jimmy Butler III (born September 14, 1989) is an American professional basketball player for the Golden State Warriors of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Nicknamed "Jimmy Buckets", he is a six-time NBA All-Star, a five-time All-NBA Team member, and a five-time NBA All-Defensive Team member. He won a gold medal as a member of the 2016 U.S. Olympic team.
Butler played one year of college basketball for Tyler Junior College before transferring to Marquette University. He was selected with the 30th overall pick in the 2011 NBA draft by the Chicago Bulls. In 2015, he was named the NBA Most Improved Player. After six seasons in Chicago, he was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves in June 2017, and was then again traded in November 2018, this time to the Philadelphia 76ers. In July 2019, he signed with the Miami Heat. During his first season with the team, Butler reached the NBA Finals. In 2021, he led the league in steals. In 2023, Butler and the eighth-seeded Heat played in the 2023 NBA Finals, their second appearance in four years. His tenure with the Heat came to a fiery end, resulting in him being traded to the Warriors in 2025.

LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant have built Hall of Fame careers on the court and massive empires off it. Their combined career earnings are projected to reach $3.7 billion by season’s end, according to Sportico. Curry and Durant are set to join Bron as the only active NBA players to surpass $1 billion in total earnings, a milestone achieved by just a few athletes globally. This season, LeBron tops the NBA with $132M in total earnings, including $80M from partners like Nike, Richard Mille, Mattel, and Amazon. Curry leads all players in salary at $59M, while KD remains one of the league’s most marketable stars through Nike, Boardroom, and other ventures. *Methodology: Sportico estimated off-court earnings through industry sources, including royalties, media projects, and brand ventures.
