From Touchdowns to $90 Million
Hey guys! Let’s check in on Travis Kelce’s net worth. As of 2025, it’s estimated at a jaw-dropping $90 million. Not bad for a guy whose main job is catching footballs — and maybe the occasional Taylor Swift lyric. His fortune comes from NFL salaries, podcast deals, endorsements, investments, and even a music festival.
NFL Payday: The Highest-Paid Tight End in History
Kelce recently signed a two-year extension with the Kansas City Chiefs worth $34.25 million, making him the highest-paid tight end in NFL history. That brings in about $17 million a year. Since joining the league in 2013, he’s earned close to $94 million in NFL contracts. That’s not just Super Bowl wins — it’s consistent domination.
🎧 The $100 Million Podcast Play
Kelce’s biggest off-field move? With his brother Jason, he co-hosts “New Heights”, a sports-and-everything podcast. In August 2024, they landed a $100 million deal with Amazon’s Wondery — Travis reportedly nets $50 million from that deal alone.
Thanks in part to the Swifties, “New Heights” became a cultural juggernaut:
Endorsements: From Nike to Papa John’s
Kelce’s ad game is strong — with deals from:
- Nike
- Bud Light
- Papa John’s
- Subway
- Old Spice
Altogether, brand partnerships earn him right around $5 Million in sponsorship. Does Kelce actually use any of this stuff? TBD.
💰 Business Moves: Tequila, Hot Sauce & Suits
Kelce isn’t just cashing checks — he’s investing, with a stake in everything from Cholula hot sauce to Casa Azul Tequila, Club Car Wash, INDOCHINO custom mens suits, and Hydrow rowing machines.
He’s even invested in an F1 team (Alpine) and recently launched Kelce Jam, his very own music festival. And YASSSS — he’s got a BBQ collab with Walmart:
🎬 Hollywood Dreams?
From podcast king to screen star, Kelce’s popping up everywhere:
- Host of Amazon Prime’s “Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?”
- Cameo in Happy Gilmore 2
- Role in Ryan Murphy’s Grotesquerie
The Taylor Swift Effect
Since dating Taylor Swift, Kelce’s brand value tripled. He saw:
- A spike in jersey sales
- A boom in podcast subscribership
- A surge in social media mentions
The “TayTay Effect” is real — and extremely profitable.
Final Word: Building an Empire Off the Field
Kelce’s story is bigger than football. He’s built a financial empire by thinking fast, betting smart, and embracing every opportunity — from endorsements to entrepreneurship.
Whether it’s touchdowns or tequila, Travis Kelce is everywhere — and ka-ching! He’s cashing in.
