Shaq has made more money from endorsements and business than his entire NBA salary.
The Boston Bruins sniper has turned his elite goal-scoring into a $50M empire, with his 8-year, $90M contract signed in 2023 making him one of hockey's highest earners. Off-ice endorsements with major brands like Warrior and Bauer add another estimated $2-3M annually to his coffers.

Why $50M is above expected
David Pastrnak represents the modern NHL superstar—a generational talent whose contract reflects both his elite production (59 goals in 2022-23) and market value. His $11.25M AAV places him among the league's top earners, but unlike some aging stars, he's in his prime at 27, making this investment a long-term asset for Boston rather than a desperate overpay.
The Czech winger has diversified beyond pure salary through smart sponsorship deals with equipment manufacturers and lifestyle brands that align with his global appeal. His 2.4M Instagram followers and growing international fanbase—particularly in Europe—create unique monetization opportunities that traditional American hockey players lack.
Pastrnak's financial trajectory mirrors his on-ice evolution: explosive growth, intelligent reinvestment, and sustained excellence. Unlike some athletes who peak early, his consistency and goal-scoring prowess suggest his earnings power will remain elevated well into his 30s, particularly if the Bruins make deep playoff runs where he historically elevates his performance.
