Jeff Schwartz is the NBA's highest-earning agent for the 2018-19 season, according to a list compiled by HoopsHype.

Schwartz is representing $407,616,772 million in player salary this season, per HoopsHype, representing 33 players, including eight All-Stars. Seven of Schwartz's clients have max contracts.

Schwartz's list of clients includes Blake Griffin (Detroit Pistons), C.J. McCollum (Portland Trail Blazers), Kevin Love (Cleveland Cavaliers) and DeAndre Jordan (Dallas Mavericks).

Rounding out the top five agents are Mark Bartelstein ($306M), Bill Duffy ($229M), Leon Rose ($202M) and Rich Paul ($193M), respectively.

Bartelstein, a media favorite, represents two All-Stars and two max-level players. Gordon Hayward (Boston Celtics) and Bradley Beal (Washington Wizards) are among Bartelstein's clients.

Duffy represents also two All-Stars. His client list includes Mike Conley Jr. (Memphis Grizzlies), who is making $30.2 million this season despite never making the All-Star team. Andrew Wiggins (Minnesota Timberwolves), Zach LaVine (Chicago Bulls) and Josh Richardson (Miami Heat) are other Duffy clients.

Rose represents four All-Stars and 20 players overall. Chris Paul (Houston Rockets), Carmelo Anthony (free agent) and Joel Embiid are among Rose's clients.

Finally, Paul may be the fastest riser of the bunch. Not only does he represent Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, but Paul picked up New Orleans Pelicans star Anthony Davis just before the season. Paul's list of 18 clients also includes John Wall (Wizards), Tristan Thompson (Cavs) and Ben Simmons (Philadelphia 76ers).
