Pau Gasol is the most successful Spanish basketball player ever. Born in Barcelona, he came through FC Barcelona, won the Spanish league and cup, and was picked third overall in the 2001 NBA draft, going on to be named Rookie of the Year with the Memphis Grizzlies. A trade to the Los Angeles Lakers in 2008 made him Kobe Bryant's partner in the frontcourt, and the pair won back-to-back NBA championships in 2009 and 2010. He later played for the Chicago Bulls, San Antonio Spurs and Milwaukee Bucks and was a six-time All-Star.

With Spain he won the 2006 World Cup, three EuroBasket titles and three Olympic medals, and he retired in 2021 after the Tokyo Games. He was inducted into the Naismith Hall of Fame in 2023, and the Lakers retired his No. 16. Forbes España's 2023 survey of the richest people in Spanish sport put his fortune at €113 million, about $126 million at the October 27, 2026 exchange rate.

How he made his money

Gasol spent 18 seasons in the NBA, most of them on big multi-year contracts, which makes salary the core of his wealth. Endorsement deals in Spain and the United States and his own investments added to it.

Forbes España's figures put his net worth at €118 million in 2022 and €113 million in 2023, a small fall that the magazine did not break down. Since retiring he has also been active in sports administration as a member of the International Olympic Committee.

About this estimate

Forbes España, the Spanish edition of Forbes, publishes its list of the 100 richest Spaniards every autumn, together with a look at the fortunes in Spanish sport. No Spanish athlete is rich enough to make that top 100, so the magazine lists the leading sports fortunes separately, with its own estimate of what each person owns.

The figures are Forbes España's estimates of net worth, not income, and they are rounded to the nearest million euros. We show each one as published, in euros, with a rough dollar conversion at the October 27, 2026 exchange rate, and link every number to its source. Contracts and prize money mentioned on this page are earnings, not wealth.
