When Los Angeles Lakers point guard Dennis Schroder turned down the $84 million offer to pursue a possibly larger prospect as a free agent, it seemed we had seen the last of Schroder in gold and purple. Things went south for the German professional from that point on, as he managed only a one-year deal with the Celtics. When fans considered Dennis had indeed burnt all bridges at his then-former team, the Lakers signed him back – albeit for a much shorter deal. Now that he is again back to dominating the courts in purple and gold, where does Dennis Schroder’s net worth stand?
Unknown to quite a lot of fans, Schroeder is not only a professional basketball player, but he is also the sole owner of Basketball Lions Braunschweig back in Germany. The NBA star may have substantially reduced his market value between his first and second stint with the Lakers, but Schroder is yet again back to his best.
It is not just his on-court stellar prowess but his drive to display his top game that has made Schroeder a fan-favorite. “I treat every game like it’s my last,” Dennis had once remarked. “You never know what can happen.”
Owing to his popularity, the NBA star has signed quite a handful of endorsem*nt deals over the years. As of today, the majority of Dennis Schroder’s net worth amounts from his NBA salaries. Here’s how much wealth Dennis ‘the Menace’ has amassed to date.

Although Schroder is currently on a minimum contract with the Lakers worth $2,641,682, he has signed some heavy NBA contracts. His rookie contract with the Atlanta Hawks saw him earn $7,510,862 across four years until he signed a massive $70,000,000 extension.
Back in 2021, Schroder turned down the Lakers’ $84 million extension offer but could only sign a one-year $5,890,000 deal with the Boston Celtics. Given his form, the point guard will soon land some long-term contracts.
