I know why you're all here (hello, Swifties). You're obsessed with Travis Kelce due to his relationship with Taylor Swift, and now he's playing the Super Bowl with the Kansas City Chiefs (yes, again). Naturally, you're doing a little snooping to see what this guy's all about. We'll get into specifics, but let me just say: Mans is rich. Not Taylor-level rich, but still super impressive! Let's get into the details of Travis Kelce's net worth.
So, about Travis Kelce's NFL check...
Travis joined the NFL in 2013 and has played for the Chiefs his whole career as the team's tight end (which I had to Google, and still have no clue what it means 😀). We all know professional football players get paid *well,* so I'm sure you can imagine there are quite a few zeros on his paychecks. In 2013, Travis reportedly signed a four-year $3.12 million dollar deal with the team. Then in 2016, he reportedly signed a five-year *$45 million* extension that included $22 million guaranteed and ~$14 million annual salary. Despite his hefty paycheck, Travis told Vanity Fair in June 2023 that he's actually underpaid compared to other players.
"My managers and agents love to tell me how underpaid I am," he said. "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. I don't know if I really pressed the gas if I would get what I'm quote-unquote worth...But I enjoy coming to that building every single day."
Looks like the NFL came through though, because Trav signed a massive contract with the Chiefs on April 29, 2024—a two-year extension worth $34.25 million. Soooo, he's now casually the highest-paid tight end in the NFL.
BUT! He's played in quite a few Super Bowls now, and according to The Pioneer Woman, players on the winning team got a bonus of $164,000 in 2024. And, even if you lose the Super Bowl, you get cash—in 2024, players on the losing team earned $89,000. And every year, the amount goes up. So if you lose the Super Bowl... you're still winning!
Travis had his own reality show and now hosts a game show
Yep, back in 2016, Travis starred in his own reality dating show on E! called Catching Kelce. He ended up choosing Maya Benberry as his winner, and they dated for a year before breaking up in early 2017.
Unclear what he was making for the show, but dude is about to be the host of Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity, and his salary for the project is a reported $750k. Wow.
His podcast pays so much
Travis and his brother, former Philadelphia Eagles player Jason Kelce, have a sports podcast together that you've definitely already heard of called New Heights. The podcast started in September 2022 and is still going stronger than strong.
P.S. According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, the brothers sought a new deal "in the $100 million range and have had discussions with Wondery" this year, and it officially went through! According to Variety, Travis and Jason signed a deal with Amazon’s Wondery in August 2024 that "runs for three years" and "is worth more than $100 million." Congrats to them!
He has a ton of endorsements
Let's see, Travis has worked with McDonald's...
And State Farm...
And Campbell's Soup...
And Pfizer...
And you better believe he's cashing in!
And the man invests!
Yep. According to Insider, Killa Trav has also invested in some businesses, like Cholula, Hydrow Indochino, RealTruck, and ThePlayersTV. Not to mention, he started his own clothing brand, Tru Kolors, and a nutrition band, Hilo.
Okay, so what is Travis Kelce's net worth in 2025?
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Travis's net worth stands at an impressive $90 million, which is a whopping $60 million more than the total amount we reported back in September. No words, just...
