Jeremy Lin is very selective when it comes to endorsing products. He has turned down numerous deals and has signed up with only a few companies.
His first big contract was with Nike. It was a three year guaranteed contract. He certainly earned millions through the deal as his jerseys were sold out and were a massive hit.

After the contract expired, both Nike and Adidas offered him a deal, and he went with Adidas because of the more significant deal. Even though he refused to reveal information about the contract, he said:
Adidas wouldn’t have made a pitch to me if they didn’t believe in me as a player and person.
He is currently endorsing Adidas alongside Derrick Rose, Dwight Howard, and others.
Some of the other companies which Lin has endorsed are Volvo, Steiner Sports, and others. From contract with these companies alone, he has been reported to have earned $4 million per annum.

The 1,182 square-feet condo is fully furnished and was on the market for $2.315 million before Lin rented it. Reports say that Lin rented it for anywhere between $3,600 to $8,900 a month.
