Johni Broome net worth in 2026 is realistically between $1 million and $2 million — a figure that has changed shape entirely since this page was first written. Broome is no longer a college player. He was drafted 35th overall by the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2025 NBA Draft, spent his rookie year split between Philadelphia and the G League, and was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers on 28 July 2026. His income is now a rookie-scale NBA contract, not NIL money.

That distinction matters, because most net worth pages about Broome still describe an Auburn forward earning six figures from energy-drink endorsements. The numbers below are built from his actual signed contract and what he has been paid so far, with the arithmetic shown rather than a headline figure quoted without a source.

Who is Johni Broome?

Johni Broome was born on July 19, 2002, in Plant City, Florida. He began at Morehead State, transferred to Auburn in 2022, and finished as one of the most decorated players in Auburn history. In 2025 he was named SEC Player of the Year — joining Charles Barkley (1984) and Chris Porter (1999) as the only Tigers to win it — was a unanimous AP first-team All-American, and took Sporting News National Player of the Year. He averaged 18.6 points, 10.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 2.1 blocks on 51% shooting in his final college season, carrying Auburn to the Final Four.

Despite that résumé, he slid to the second round of the 2025 NBA Draft. At 22 on draft night he was old for a prospect, and scouts questioned whether a below-the-rim big man would translate. The Philadelphia 76ers took him with the fifth pick of the second round, 35th overall. That draft slot is the single most important fact for understanding his finances: it is the difference between a guaranteed first-round scale contract and the much smaller second-round exception deal he actually signed.

Johni Broome NBA Contract

Broome signed a four-year deal worth $8,685,386 with Philadelphia via the second-round pick exception, an average of $2,171,347 per season. The important detail is what is actually guaranteed: $3,423,787, covering the first two seasons. The final year carries a club option, meaning the back half of that $8.69 million headline is money the team can decline to pay.

This is the standard trap when reading contract totals. The $8.69 million figure gets reported as what he “signed for,” but only $3.42 million is money he is contractually certain to receive. A player in this position has to plan around the guarantee, not the total — a pattern covered in more detail in our look at Andrew Nembhard’s rookie-bargain contract.

Rookie Season and the Clippers Trade

Broome’s 2025-26 rookie season barely happened at NBA level. He appeared in 11 games for Philadelphia, averaging 0.9 points and 1.5 rebounds in 5.0 minutes — 55 total minutes across the season. Midseason knee surgery, following an injury sustained on 21 February 2026 while playing for the Delaware Blue Coats, ended what little rhythm he had.

The G League told a very different story. With the Blue Coats he averaged 22.9 points, 8.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists, made the 2025 G League All-Showcase Team, and in January 2026 scored a career-high 50 points with 17 rebounds, five assists and two blocks, shooting 18-of-34 including 5-of-7 from three. He followed that with a strong 2026 Vegas Summer League, averaging 14.7 points and 9.0 rebounds.

On 28 July 2026, Philadelphia traded Broome and a 2027 second-round pick to the Los Angeles Clippers for cash considerations. The move was a salary-cap manoeuvre rather than a basketball verdict: the Sixers needed to get under the first apron to sign Kentavious Caldwell-Pope after his buyout from Memphis, and Broome’s contract was the flexible piece. He arrives in Los Angeles on the fringe of the rotation, with a real chance of spending much of 2026-27 in the G League again.

Johni Broome Net Worth: How the $1-2 Million Estimate Is Built

No audited net worth figure for Johni Broome exists anywhere, and any site quoting one to the exact dollar is reporting a salary figure with the wrong label. What can be done is to work forward from money he has verifiably earned.

NBA earnings. His $3,423,787 guarantee covers 2025-26 and 2026-27, putting his rookie-season salary in the region of $1.7 million gross. Against that comes a top federal marginal rate, Pennsylvania state tax and Philadelphia city wage tax, plus jock tax in every road state, and an agent fee capped at 4% under NBPA rules. A realistic take-home on that first year is roughly $850,000 to $950,000.

NIL earnings. Broome’s Auburn NIL deals — C4 Energy, Freddy’s Steakburgers and the On To Victory collective among them — were never disclosed in dollar terms. Reported estimates placed him in the six figures across his three Auburn seasons, which is credible for a national player of the year at an SEC program but is not a confirmed number. After tax, that plausibly nets somewhere in the low-to-mid six figures. For scale, Cooper Flagg’s NIL valuation ran to several million — Broome was never in that tier, and his Auburn teammate Aden Holloway sits in a similar band to Broome himself.

The estimate. Roughly $900,000 in first-year NBA take-home, plus net NIL proceeds accumulated over three college seasons, minus living costs and the setup expenses of a first pro year, lands in a $1 million to $2 million range. That is a genuine estimate with error bars, not a precise valuation, and it will move sharply in either direction depending on whether the Clippers keep him past the guaranteed portion of his deal.

Career Earnings vs. Net Worth

These two numbers are constantly confused on net worth pages, so it is worth stating them separately. Broome’s career earnings — gross money paid to him by an NBA team — stand at roughly $1.7 million after one season, and will reach about $3.4 million by the end of 2026-27 if he remains under contract. His net worth is what survives tax, agent fees and spending, which is why the estimate above is far lower than the contract headline. A player can bank a $8.69 million contract and still be worth a fraction of it, a gap explored in our breakdown of Jalen Duren’s early-career finances.

Endorsements Since Turning Pro

Broome’s NIL portfolio did not survive the jump to the NBA in any meaningful way. College collective deals such as On To Victory are, by definition, tied to enrolment, and a second-round pick averaging under a point a game has limited leverage with national brands. There is no publicly confirmed shoe deal or major national endorsement for him as of August 2026.

That is normal rather than alarming for his draft position. Endorsement income for players outside the lottery generally follows on-court production, and Broome’s G League scoring numbers are the kind of thing that eventually attracts regional deals if they translate. For now, treat any claim about his current endorsement income as unverified — his money is his contract.

College Career

Johni Broome was 18 when he started at Morehead State, stepping up when Tyzhaun Claude got hurt. He won OVC Freshman of the Year and First Team All-OVC honours, broke the school record with nine OVC Freshman of the Week awards, and won OVC Tournament MVP before transferring to Auburn in 2022.

At Auburn he recorded 14 double-doubles in his first season, including a 30-point, 13-rebound game against Virginia Tech, and was named SEC and National Player of the Week in February 2024. He earned third-team consensus All-American honours that year — the 14th Auburn player to be named an All-American — before the unanimous first-team selection that followed in 2025.

Personal Life

Johni Broome comes from a sports-focused family. His father, John, played baseball at Alabama State and later coached. His mother, Julie, played professional basketball in Germany and coached at Jacksonville State. He has two older siblings — John Jr., who played football at FIU, and Jade’a. The family calls themselves the “J.A.B. Five,” a nod to their shared initials. Broome’s favourite NBA player growing up was James Harden.

Conclusion

Johni Broome’s net worth in 2026 sits in an estimated $1 million to $2 million range, built almost entirely on the guaranteed portion of a four-year, $8,685,386 rookie contract rather than the NIL income that defined his Auburn years. The next twelve months are decisive: dominant G League production and a limited NBA sample point in opposite directions, and the Clippers hold a club option on the back end of his deal. If he converts the scoring he has shown in Delaware into NBA minutes in Los Angeles, the figures on this page will need revising upward. If he does not, the guarantee is where his earnings stop.
