Kelce, known as Taylor Swift's bit of arm candy, is also a pro football player. He has won the Super Bowl twice and is maybe going to make it a third time at Super Bowl LIX. A player of this caliber must be on a healthy paycheck, and I expect Swift gives him a little pocket money too.
But, working out the net worth of Travis Kelce takes a bit of digging. It isn't something that is readily available online. However, looking at the numbers, it is expected that his net worth is somewhere around the $90 million mark.
This is a staggering number but still pales in comparison to his girlfriend. Taylor Swift is reported as being worth $1.6 billion. The pair of them are rolling in it.
How Has Travis Kelce Built His Net Worth
A net worth like this was no small effort from Travis Kelce. He has climbed and worked and bargained for it. The huge number comes from various partnerships, trades, and contracts. His first ten years in the NFL only earned him $80 million, which is peanuts. I don't even get out of bed for less than $10 million a year.
As Travis Kelce progressed through his career as a tight end, his net worth climbed through contracts. His latest signing with the Chiefs came in at a massive two-year $34.25 million extension. This works out at about $17.125 million a year.
On top of the NFL signings come the various endorsement deals he has. These bring in around $5 million a year on top of his salary. Kelce has a whole list of sponsors too, knocking the net worth up further. He is signed to McDonalds, Nike, Papa John's, Bud Light, State Far, and plenty more. Those sponsorships sure pay.
Alongside these incomes, Kelce and his brother run a podcast called New Heights. It has seen quite a lot of success and has now been bought by Amazon. The deal is for three years and came with a massive price tag. The two brothers netted a reported $100 million for the rights to their chatter.
So, Travis Kelce has a net worth of an estimated $90 million. He's more than just the best tight end in NFL history; he's also a businessman.
