Josh Giddey is an Australian guard who plays for the Chicago Bulls. Born in Melbourne to two professional basketball players, he came through the NBA Global Academy in Canberra and the Adelaide 36ers before the Oklahoma City Thunder drafted him sixth overall in 2021. In his rookie season he became the youngest player in NBA history to record a triple-double.

The Financial Review Young Rich List 2026 put his wealth at A$53 million, about $37 million at the October 29, 2026 exchange rate, and ranked him No. 97. He was 24 when the list came out. The AFR said his wealth surged after the Bulls gave him a four-year, $US100 million extension.

How he made his money

Giddey's fortune comes mainly from his NBA pay. His rookie-scale deal with Oklahoma City was followed in September 2025 by a new four-year, $100 million contract with Chicago, which the AFR converted at about A$150 million. Most of that money is still to be paid, so it is not all counted in his current wealth.

The AFR also noted that he owns a house in Chicago with heated floors and a two-and-a-half-car heated garage fitted with a Tesla charger. Like other NBA players, he also earns from shoe and sponsorship deals.

About this estimate

The Financial Review Young Rich List ranks the 100 richest Australians aged 40 and under. It is compiled by the Australian Financial Review, which estimates each person's wealth from business stakes, property and other assets it can identify. The 2026 edition put Giddey at No. 97 with A$53 million. The full list sits behind the AFR's paywall, so we read the figure in the AFR's own feature on the list's newcomers and checked the ranking against the media release from Nine, which publishes the AFR. Nine's release said seven basketballers made the 2026 list, more than the number of AI data centre founders.

We show the figure exactly as published, in Australian dollars, with a rough US dollar conversion at the October 29, 2026 exchange rate. Contract values mentioned on this page are future pay, not wealth he already has, and they are not the same as his net worth.
