Carmelo Anthony has always been on the fringes of the NBA elite — both on and off the court.
While he has won scoring titles, he has never been considered a top-3 player.
And while he has made more than $90 million in his NBA career, he has never been a mega-brand like LeBron James or an advertising-darling like Blake Griffin.
But with his move to New York a couple of years ago — and the Knicks' on-court success this season — he's finally starting to gain respect as a player and a brand.
And he has been able to enjoy all the perks (houses, parties, and a lovely wife), that being a superstar in NYC brings with it.
Carmelo made $22.9 million in 2012, according to Forbes.

Much of that came on the court. He has made $94 million in salary in his 10-year NBA career.

His other income (~$8 million per year) comes from endorsements with companies like Foot Locker and Degree.
