For the fifth year in a row, Los Angeles Lakers basketball player Kobe Bryant had the highest salary in the NBA from 2014 to 2015, reports Forbes. The five-time champion made $23.5 million during that time span, and CNN Money reports he made an impressive $323 million from the Lakers over the course of his 20-year-long career. If you do the math, that means Bryant made an average of $16.1 million each year.

In addition to his basketball salary, Bryant made at least $26 million in endorsements from 2014 to 2015 and a total of more than $280 million from sponsorship deals during his career, according to CelebrityNetWorth. He also has his own company, Kobe Inc., which filed for multiple trademarks late last year. According to ESPN, the trademark will likely be used to mark trading cards, action figures, books, shot glasses and more.
