TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - After more than a decade of an NFL career, Travis Kelce's net worth is recorded at $90 million, a staggering figure that granted him a place on the list of the world’s richest NFL players. Following his public relationship with billionaire pop singer, Taylor Swift, Kelce’s earnings have been under scrutiny for several years.
But, has any spectacular salary spike ever happened since then? Here’s the breakdown of the Kansas City Chiefs’ lucrative career.
Who is Travis Kelce?
Travis Kelce is an American professional football player who began his career on the field with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2013. Best known for his title among the greatest tight ends in the sport’s history, Kelce has been a mastermind behind the Chiefs’ achievements, sweeping trophies for Super Bowls LIV and LVII.
In September 2023, Taylor Swift made a surprise appearance at Arrowhead in which she was caught cheering on the Kansas City Chief’s tight end alongside his mom, Donna. As expected, the news has taken both worlds—football and pop—by storm.
The unexpected pairing continued to make one headline after another, and even started a trend of friendship bracelets among fans during Swift’s high-profile world tour, “The Eras Tour.”
For multiple years now, Travis Kelce has earned a spot among Swifties as the beloved boyfriend of Taylor Swift.
Travis Kelce's Salary and Career Earnings
In his early days as an NFL player, Travis Kelce's name wasn’t always attributed to sky-high valuation. For the first 10 years, the ‘Big Yeti’ was only able to earn a paycheck of under $80 million from his NFL career.
According to CelebrityNetWorth, the NFL big name officially signed a four-year $3.12 million deal with the Chiefs. Once expired, another five-year extension came, which gave Kelce a value of $46 million, covering $22 million in guaranteed money and an annual salary of around $14 million.
When 2024 came, Travis Kelce was up to a two-year contract deal of $34.25 million with the Chiefs. For this period, he will take home an annual salary of $17.125 million.
Travis Kelce's Endorsement Earnings
Based on a 2023 article by Business Insider, Travis Kelce reportedly generated around $5 million per year in off-the-field earnings. Over the years, his endorsement catalogs have included major companies like Nike, Papa John’s, State Farm, Bud Light, McDonald’s, and many more.
Parade also added, Kelce’s romantic involvement with the world’s second-richest musician, Taylor Swift, has helped to boost the Chiefs’ tight end’s merchandise sales, which came straight up 400% just 24 hours after September 24, 2023.
Travis Kelce and $100 Million Podcast Deal
In August 2024, “New Heights” podcast, which Travis launched with his brother, Jason Kelce, back in 2022, sealed a $100 million deal with Amazon’s Wondery podcast service. For this agreement, the duo signed a 3-year contract that gives rights for Wondery to distribute and sell ads for “New Heights.”
With his career and ventures still thriving, Travis Kelce's net worth is poised to climb even higher in the years ahead. Boosted further by the global spotlight from his relationship with Taylor Swift, the Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end has cemented himself as both a sports legend and a showbiz powerhouse.
