BREAKING NEWS: Boston Celtics Power Forward Jayson Tatum shocked the National Basketball Asociaction (NBA) world with a selfless act that transcends the game of NBA. Upon signing his NBA contract, Jayson Tatum made the bold and compassionate decision to donate his entire $64 million signing bonus to….. 

I couldn’t find any credible reports that Jayson Tatum—whether as a Milwaukee Buck or a Celtic—has donated a $64 million signing bonus to charity. There is no factual basis for the headline you provided: no trustworthy news outlets, no press releases, and not even rumor-level discussion support it.

To break it down:

Tatum has indeed signed massive deals—his latest is a five-year, $314 million supermax extension with the Boston Celtics on July 1, 2024 .

Publicly, he has confirmed that he doesn’t spend his NBA-earning salary and instead lives off endorsements—“I remember what it’s like to struggle” .

He has made a $7 million donation to Duke University in February 2025—a well-documented historical gesture .

But there are no credible reports of a $64 million bonus, nor of any such large-scale donation associated with Milwaukee, the Bucks, or a recent signing.

What This Might Be

It resembles a rumor or misinformation that might combine his real extension with wishful thinking.

• Even basketball-centric rumor sites and social media do not mention a Bucks move or a $64 million bonus

Jayson Tatum remains a Boston Celtic superstar, not a Milwaukee Buck.

His actual philanthropic efforts include the $7 million gift to Duke and his ongoing community work through the Jayson Tatum

Foundation in St. Louis .
