His growing wealth not only showcases his success in professional sports but also highlights his expanding influence in the world of entertainment and business. In 2024, it was announced that he would be transitioning into film, too, making his on-screen debut in Loose Cannons, an action comedy from John Wick filmmaker, Chad Stahelski. How much will he make from that? Only time will tell.
What is Travis Kelce’s net worth?
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Travis Kelce‘s net worth is reportedly around $30 million. It got a boost on April 29, 2024, though, when he re-signed with the Chiefs for a two-year extension valued at $17 million a year, making him the highest-paid tight end in the league. He’ll earn more than $17 million a year. “I told y’all I’ll never let him leave!! Congrats my guy!,” Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes tweeted in response.
On August 20, 2024, Travis and his brother Jason signed a nine-figure deal with Wondery to distribute their podcast. The bid was “very competitive,” according to a person familiar with the matter to The Hollywood Reporter. New Heights reaches actual chart heights as the top sports podcast on Apple and Spotify during football season and has recently won Ambies, Webbys, and Shorty awards.
How much does Travis Kelce get paid for the Chiefs?
The Kansas City Chief tight end reportedly renewed his contract with the team in 2022 worth $57.25 million, securing him an annual salary of $14.3 million until 2026. Kelce’s previous contract had a total guaranteed sum of $22,750,000 over four years.
In 2021, he received a guaranteed roster bonus of $7 million, while in 2022, he earned $2 million of his salary as a guarantee. While that sounds like a lot of money—and it is— the combined value of all 32 NFL teams is currently $142.87 billion and football players should be entitled to their fair share of that considering they put their bodies on the line every week.
In a January 2023 interview with Vanity Fair, Kelce jokingly talked about how his position isn’t paid enough. “My managers and agents love to tell me how underpaid I am,” he said. “Any time I talk about wanting more money, they’re just like, ‘Why don’t you go to the Chiefs and ask them?” The Chiefs are bound by a salary cap and players like All-Pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill have moved elsewhere within the league.
“When I saw Tyreek go and get 30 [million] a year, in the back of my head, I was like, man, that’s two to three times what I’m making right now,” he says. “I’m like, the free market looks like fun until you go somewhere and you don’t win. I love winning. I love the situation I’m in.”
He thought about it but his allegiance is to the Chiefs. “You see how much more money you could be making and, yeah, it hits you in the gut a little bit. It makes you think you’re being taken advantage of,” Kelce says. “I don’t know if I really pressed the gas if I would get what I’m quote-unquote worth,” he adds. “But I know I enjoy coming to that building every single day.” Kelce also has brand deals with Nike, Old Spice, T-Mobile and Dick’s Sporting Goods, McDonalds, and Papa Johns.
