To say Steve Nash retired quietly would be an understatement. The 2x NBA MVP didn’t just step off the court—he walked straight into a whirlwind of ventures. From coaching stints and launching business efforts to owning part of a soccer team, the former point guard didn’t waste a second post-retirement. Sure, he’s hit a few speed bumps along the way, but when you take a peek at his current financial standing, it’s clear that Nash has played the long game right.
In fact, that “long game” has paid off better than most would expect. His net worth? It’s now sitting higher than a few of today’s active NBA stars. Think about that for a second. While Kyrie Irving and Joel Embiid are still grinding on the hardwood, Nash has already built something that outpaces their current numbers. It makes you wonder—how did he pull it off?
Steve Nash’s net worth & NBA earnings
It all started back in 1996 when the Phoenix Suns drafted him. Nash would go on to play for the Dallas Mavericks before returning to the Suns on a hefty six-year, $63-million deal. That alone speaks volumes about his value back then. At one point with the Mavericks, he was reportedly earning $5.75 million. Later, he moved to the Lakers in 2012. However, his time there was clouded by nagging injuries—hip issues, hamstring problems—you name it. Eventually, after a tough run physically, he hung up his jersey in 2015.

Still, he left the league on a strong financial note. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Nash was earning nearly $9,701,000 at the end of his career. And get this—he made a total of $145 million from his playing days. But it wasn’t just about stacking paychecks. Nash invested smartly and aligned with ethical brands. He’s been very vocal about working with partners that value sustainability and fairness. Oh, and let’s not forget the Steve Nash Foundation, which continues to back causes close to his heart.
Now, even though he’s traded his jersey for a suit, Nash hasn’t walked away from sports. He was the head coach of the Brooklyn Nets from 2020 to 2022. And it doesn’t end there. With a net worth now touching $95 million, the man’s portfolio includes everything from coaching roles to strategic investments and even sports team ownership. At this point, Steve Nash isn’t just a former NBA star—he’s a full-blown sports mogul.
Beyond the hardwood
So while most people remember Steve Nash for his jaw-dropping assists and MVP trophies, there’s a whole other side to him that rarely gets the spotlight. Off the court, Nash has flexed his creative chops behind the camera, too. He’s written and produced several Nike commercials—yes, the slick, clever ones—through his own production company. That same studio later created Into the Wind, a documentary on Terry Fox, and even shot a music video for Thirty Seconds to Mars. That’s not your typical post-retirement resume.

Moreover, Nash didn’t just stop with films. Back in 2007, he stepped into the fitness world by launching the first Steve Nash Sports Club in downtown Vancouver. It wasn’t a small-time gym either—the facility reportedly cost $5 million just to purchase. Since then, the brand’s grown like wildfire across British Columbia. The best part? These clubs didn’t just carry his name—they carried his vision for holistic fitness and elite training.
Steve Nash in Real Estate
Real Estate is another game Nash seems to know well. In 2014, he dropped a cool $4.8 million on a Manhattan Beach property. According to local agents, “Nash planned to immediately tear the property down and build an all-new, custom house on the land.” The 4,175-square-foot space sits just a couple of blocks from the beach—perfect for a retirement nest, or maybe just a quiet escape.
On the flip side, he was also letting go of old homes. In 2017, Nash finally sold his Paradise Valley property in Phoenix for $3.175 million. That deal didn’t come easily. He first put it on the market in 2014, and only after three years did he find a buyer willing to cover the hefty $730-a-month HOA fees. Not surprisingly, considering these types of fees are typical in affluent, gated communities such as Paradise Valley.
Clearly, Nash’s playbook off the court is just as strategic as it was on it.
