How much do NBA mascots make?

By Zippia Team - Oct. 25, 2022

NBA mascots make around $60,000 per season. This is the average for most NBA mascots; however, more experienced and in-demand mascots can make impressive salaries, sometimes in the six-figure range.

An NBA mascot's salary depends on several factors, including:

How much experience they have
Their specific qualifications and abilities, what the performer can do physically and creatively
The amount of "off the court" appearances the mascot makes
What NBA team they work for

Some mascots are paid extremely well in terms of hourly wages for "off the court" appearances.

For example, the Atlanta Hawks mascot, Harry the Hawk, makes $250 per 30-minute appearance. These appearances may include NBA events outside of games or other Atlanta-related public events.
