Tim Duncan, who is also known as ‘The Big Fundamental’, is hailed as the best power forward in NBA history. He was a pioneer who became the face of the San Antonio Spurs squad as soon as he joined the league and stayed with them for his 19-year career. On his way to achieving success without blabbering anything, Duncan won his squad NBA Championships in 1999, 2003, 2005, 2007, and 2014.

Notably, he secured 15 All-Star appearances in his career, first in 1998, then from 2000 to 2011, and then in 2013, 2015. Duncan even made it to the All-Defensive Teams 15 times in his career and made sure that he was dominant on both ends of the floor. Even during the championship campaigns of the San Antonio Spurs, Tim Duncan was the NBA Finals MVP in 1999, 2003, and 2005. During the same period, he won the season MVP in 2002 and 2003.

Tim Duncan Net Worth in 2025

Tim Duncan's net worth is estimated to be about $130 million in the year 2025. He might be retired from the basketball scene, but the former Spurs star is still making money with his investments and businesses that he set up long ago outside the court. Surprisingly, his worth is expected to surge in the upcoming years since he is a living legend who can still use his face and name to sell the product or services.

Duncan also worked as an assistant coach alongside head coach Gregg Popovich during the 2019-20 season. He even head-coached the team in a game against the Charlotte Hornets, which was won by the Spurs ultimately.

However, he left the squad's coaching department after a season. So we can assume that for a player of Tim Duncan's status, he might have received $1 million for his coaching services. Such post-retirement association with his NBA franchise and the continuous growth of his business is what kept Tim Duncan financially fit.

Nike

AT&T

H-E-B

Tim Duncan was also associated with the cult favorite grocery chain in Texas, H-E-B. The organization featured Duncan in a series of humorous commercials with some of his fellow Spurs stars. These commercials became talk of the town, although they were not a national campaign. As per reports, it is believed to have been a lucrative and long-running partnership, but the details are still not out in the public.

Tim Duncan Investments

Duncan was interested in the automobile business from the start, and he continued after his retirement. In 2013, he revealed to the media, “I love to go and get my cars worked on. I’ve always loved cars. I think it didn’t really take off until later in college [when] I started loving horsepower and speed. As I got to the league, I was able to see more and know more about cars. It just kind of grew and grew and grew”.

That's how his business for car solutions came to reality, known by the name of BlackJack Speed Shop. It is an auto customization and repair shop that he opened in San Antonio in 2013. The shop quickly became a success, attracting customers from across Texas.

After a well-publicized legal battle with a former financial advisor who defrauded him out of about $24 million, Duncan became even more involved in looking after his own investments and ensuring transparency in his financial affairs.

Apart from his shop, his Tim Duncan Foundation funds programs in San Antonio, Winston-Salem, and the United States Virgin Islands focused on health awareness, education, and youth sports. This program was established in 2001.
