Giannis Antetokounmpo is an NBA superstar playing for the Milwaukee Bucks that helped his team win its first championship since 1971 and has an estimated net worth of roughly $70 million.

The basketball player, who is nicknamed the "Greek Freak" for his nationality, size, speed, strength, and ball-handling skills, has an annual salary of about $45 million with the Bucks. Antetokounmpo's achievements include becoming the first NBA player in history to finish a regular season in the top 20 in all five statistical areas of points, rebounds, assists, blocks, and steals.

Furthermore, the Greek superstar won back-to-back NBA MVP Awards in 2019 and 2020, drawing massive support from basketball fans. Despite his fame and fortune, Antetokounmpo lives a relatively modest and simple life compared to other popular basketball stars.

One of the things that the Bucks player enjoys doing is going grocery shopping late at night, an activity that the NBA star called "relaxing." This goes hand-in-hand with the first thing that he did after winning the historic NBA championship was go through a Chick-fil-A drive-thru with his longtime girlfriend, Mariah Danae Riddlesprigger, as per SportsCasting.

The primary thing that Antetokounmpo is dedicating his wealth to is supporting his family, mainly because he now has to buy diapers for his two sons, Liam Charles Antetokounmpo and Maverick Shai Antetokounmpo. The Bucks' player prefers to save money and showed it when he kept himself from talking about against a referee which could have cost him $20,000.

"How much does it cost if I say a comment about the ref? Is it $20,000? It’s a lot of money. So, I should not do it. I’ll save my money, I’ve got to pay for diapers."

However, one luxurious lifestyle that Antetokounmpo has adapted to is having several amazing cars. He previously appeared in a commercial for BMW, which most likely prompted him to buy a $150,000 black BMW i8. Later on, he also purchased a silver version for his brother. The NBA star also posted a photograph of himself sitting on the hood of his new Land Rover defender X.

According to SportsZion, during his rookie years, Antetokounmpo was known for driving around in a $50,000 GMC Yukon when going to practice. Despite not having a private jet of his own, the NBA player loves to travel in the air and frequently posts on social media when he takes to the sky with his family and girlfriend.

The Greek Freak

Antetokounmpo's early career has been filled with success and stardom at a very young age when he made his NBA debut at 18 years old. He was selected 15th overall in the first round by the Bucks in the 2013 NBA draft.

In his rookie years, the Greek Freak averaged 6.8 points and 4.4 rebounds in 77 appearances and was subsequently named to the 2013-14 NBA All-Rookie second team. In the following season, Antetokounmpo made an even bigger impact when he recorded a career-high 27 points and 15 rebounds in a match against the Rockets.

But later in the season, the Bucks star improved his career by scoring 29 points in a game against the Pelicans. Since then, he continued to hone his skills in the 2015-16 season and got his average score to nearly 17 points per game, Celebrity Net Worth reported.
