What is Travis Kelce's net worth?
Travis Kelce is one of the best athletes in the world and with his skills and fame also comes the big moolah. Apart from their rookie contracts and bonuses, top NFL players also pocket a huge sum of money through Super Bowl ads and other endorsements and Kelce is no different.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Kelce’s net worth currently stands at a massive $20 million. When the Chiefs player was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs back in 2013, he raked in an impressive four-year deal for $3.12 million.
According to multiple reports, Kelce later signed a five-year extension with the team in 2016 for a whopping $46 million and also scored another four-year extension for $57.25 million in 2020. He became the second-highest-paid tight end in 2020 when he earned a little more than $14 million a year. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Travis Kelce was a Pro Bowl selection in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 and was a first-team All-Pro in 2016 and 2018.
Travis Kelce's gift for Kansas kids
A lot of millionaires usually opt for massive bungalows or a stunning mansion in suburbs but Kelce opted for a slightly different route. Though he lives in luxury in a Kansas City high-rise building located in the upscale Power and Light district since 2018, he also bought a place for the kids of Kansas — a place for them to study — with his massive paycheck last year.
According to the New York Post, when his four-year contract got renewed in 2020, he raked-in a massive $57 million with the Kansas City Chiefs. He revealed that he purchased a building to give inner-city children from Kansas City a place to study STEM programs. The glass and steel high-rise residences are all designed with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Kansas City skyline.
