Wardell Stephen “Steph” Curry II was born on March 14, 1988, in Akron, Ohio. He is a prominent American professional basketball player for the Golden State Warriors of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Recognized for revolutionizing the game with his shooting range and precision, Curry has been a standout figure in basketball since joining the league in 2009. His younger brother, Seth Curry, is also an NBA player. Stephen Curry's net worth is significantly higher than previously reported, with recent estimates placing it well over $100 million, reflecting his earnings from salary, endorsements, and investments.
Curry was born to Sonya (Adams) and Dell Curry. His father, Dell, played in the NBA, most notably with the Charlotte Hornets, and also had a stint with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Stephen spent most of his childhood in Charlotte, North Carolina, due to Dell's long tenure with the Hornets. Dell often brought Stephen and Seth to practice sessions, immersing them in a basketball environment from a young age.
During the final phase of Dell's career, the family relocated briefly to Toronto, Ontario, when Dell played for the Toronto Raptors. After his retirement, the family moved back to Charlotte. There, Stephen attended Charlotte Christian School, where he excelled both academically and athletically. He later enrolled at Davidson College, a decision that marked the beginning of his rise to national prominence.
At Davidson College, Curry quickly made a name for himself. As a freshman, he became the second-highest scoring freshman in the nation. His sophomore season further cemented his reputation, as he led Davidson to an unexpected Elite Eight appearance in the 2008 NCAA Tournament. He concluded his college career as the all-time leading scorer in Davidson history and set the NCAA Division I record for most three-pointers made in a season at the time.
In 2009, Curry was selected by the Golden State Warriors as the seventh overall pick in the NBA Draft. He rapidly became one of the league's most dynamic and influential players. Known for his exceptional three-point shooting, Curry transformed offensive play in the NBA.
Curry has led the Warriors to multiple NBA championships, beginning with their 2015 title. He was named NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP) in back-to-back seasons, 2015 and 2016, and has been selected to the NBA All-Star Game numerous times. His accolades highlight his role in building a modern basketball dynasty in Golden State.
