His career achievement has rewarded him handsomely financially, with his net worth estimated to be $95 million and a salary of roughly 22.87 million USD. There's a persistent speculation that he'll be a free agent at the end of the season. He could make up to 25 million dollars over the last year of his contract if he reached all of his possible incentives. He was originally drafted by the Los Angeles Clippers in 2008 after making his name as one of the best point guards in college basketball. Since then he has won two NBA championships with the team he represents now, the Los Angeles Lakers. He also has six All-Star appearances to his name. In addition to being a top-five player in the league in assists for two consecutive years, he averages nearly nine rebounds a game too. Chris Paul is still only 30 years old and has plenty of good years left in him. He has always been seen as a workhorse in Clipperland, playing more than 40 minutes a game for most of his career. This effort has often led to injuries; however, he has never missed more than five games in a single season. Chris Paul grew up in New York City, but was raised by his mother after his father walked out on them when Chris was just eight years old.
