In addition to being an NBA All-Star three times and a two-time selection, he is currently in his fifth season of play.

He is one of the newer players in the NBA and has the potential to be among the finest scorers in the league.

Tatum’s NBA deal contributes significantly to his $50 million net worth. His endorsements of Gatorade, Subway, Imo’s Pizza, Jordan brand, and other companies have also added to his net worth.
Tatum agreed to a $163,300 five-year contract with the Boston Celtics, which would pay him $32,600,060 annually. In 2023–24, he will earn a base salary of $32,600,060 in the NBA. His contract expires in 2026, and he will be paid $37,096,620 for the final season.
Jayson was born in St. Louis, Missouri, to Justin Tatum and Brandy Cole. Justin Tatum is a basketball coach and gym instructor at St. Louis’ Christian Brothers College High School. Tatum was born into a family of 19-year-old college students; his mother, Brandy, graduated from Saint Louis University School of Law and is a practicing attorney. They separated when Jayson was very young, so Brandy had to raise Jayson alone.

During Tatum’s rookie season in the NBA, on December 6, 2017, he and his ex-girlfriend Toriah Lachell, welcomed Jayson “Deuce” Christopher Tatum Jr. Since then, he has grown to represent the Boston Celtics as an icon and an honorary member of his father’s squad.
Jayson’s first shoe contract was with Nike. NBA player Tatum was the first to test-fit Nike’s self-lacing HyperAdapt BB sneakers. In 2019, Tatum left Nike’s parent business to accept a multi-year contract with Jordan Brand. The Celtics forward was one of the five basketball players Michael Jordan selected to assist in promoting the new brand of Air Jordan shoes. He now has his own set of trademark Jordans named after him.
The 25-year-old showcases versatility with his shooting, passing, and defensive skills. He might be talented and have a killer instinct, but he has not won an NBA championship yet. Regardless, he lights up the league as one of the most promising shooters.
