Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (SGA) of the Oklahoma City Thunder has become the NBA’s highest-paid player.
Let’s take a look inside his life.
Mansion Troubles for NBA’s Top Earner
SGA purchased a $6.1 million Lake Ontario mansion in 2023 that was previously owned by cryptocurrency trader Aiden Pleterski.
After purchasing the home, SGA had issues with visitors looking for Pleterski, so SGA won a lawsuit to undo the purchase.
He also owns a $4 million Oklahoma City mansion with less bedrooms than bathrooms, a home that was broken into October 2025.
A Fleet of Luxury Cars
SGA has a fancy fleet of cars.
This includes a one of 150 Mercedes-Maybach S680, a Lamborghini Urus, a Lamborghini Huracan, a Tesla Cybertruck, and a $183,000 Mercedes-Benz AMG G63.
Family and Fashion
SGA has been dating Hailey Summers since 2017.
They got married in 2024 and have one child together, Ares Alexander.
SGA’s fashion draws attention, from Louis Vuitton denim suits and Rolex Day-Dates for himself to purchasing Rolexes for his entire team.
Richest Player in the League
As of 2025, SGA has made over $155 million in the NBA.
Following a 2025 NBA title, he secured the league’s highest yearly income ever, earning $71 million per year on a four-year, $285 million deal.
His endorsement deal with Converse includes his own signature shoe, and he also has deals with Skims, Canada Goose, and more.
