In an interview with CNBC Sport's Alex Sherman, the Golden State Warriors star said he hopes to follow in the footsteps of Michael Jordan and own a majority stake in an NBA franchise one day.

"He might be the only one in our generation who has sat in that seat and done it that way," Curry said. "The idea of being a part of an ownership group and the right opportunity that allows me to have an impact on how a franchise should be operated - how you're going after true winning, like we've done here with the Warriors - that's something I'm excited about pursuing. It's interesting.

"Obviously, as an active player, you can't participate in that level until you're done. So you'll see me in the seat somewhere down the road."

Curry was named the second-highest paid athlete in the world last year by Sportico with estimated total earnings of $153.8 million, but he acknowledged that the cost of majority ownership may be too pricey for him.

"Obviously, there are levels to this," he said.

The 37-year-old is coming off his 16th NBA season and is under contract with the Warriors through the 2026-2027 campaign.
