Former Golden State Warriors star Andrew Bogut announced his retirement from professional basketball after a stellar 15-year career. The 35-year-old is widely regarded as one of the most successful Australian players to have featured in the NBA and has been credited with re-vitalising the Australian NBL scene. Here's a look at the Andrew Bogut net worth, his career earnings, NBA contracts and career stats.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Andrew Bogut's net worth amounts to $24 million. Much of the 35-year-old's net worth can be attributed to his career as a professional basketball player for a host of franchises in the NBA. Bogut plied his trade in the NBA for 14 years, earning his fortune by playing for the likes of the Milwaukee Bucks, Golden State Warriors, Dallas Mavericks, Cleveland Cavaliers and the Los Angeles Lakers.
According to Spotrac, Bogut earned a staggering $117 million from his 14-year stint in the NBA. He earned $486,892 from his final season in the NBA which culminated with the 2018/29 season. Injuries took a toll on him in the latter stages of his career, and the 35-year-old announced his retirement on December 1.

Andrew Bogut was signed by the Milwaukee Bucks with the first overall pick in the 2005 NBA draft after a stellar two years with the Utah Utes. In 2012, Bucks traded Bogut and Stephen Jackson to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Monta Ellis, Ekpe Udoh and Kwame Brown. The Australian achieved his peak in San Francisco and played a vital role in their championship run in 2015. Bogut was however traded to the Dallas Mavericks in order to make space for the incoming Kevin Durant in 2016.
However, the Australian's niggles started to haunt him big time and was traded, along with Justin Anderson and a protected first-round pick, to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Nerlens Noel less than a year after joining the Mavericks. The 76ers waived off Bogut just four days after signing him and the Australian proceeded to sign for the Cavaliers, where he played 56 seconds before a season-ending injury saw him waived off.
Bogut enjoyed a short stint with the Los Angeles Lakers before returning to Golden State later. He enjoyed a revival of sorts at Sydney, but injuries took a toll on him and he subsequently quit the sport.
