Sportico reveals that Kelce has experienced a staggering 177% increase in licensing income, largely due to his association with global superstar Taylor Swift.
The Tight end of Kansas City Chiefs , Travis Kelce is on the verge of becoming the face of the NFL, challenging the traditional spotlight usually reserved for quarterbacks. Since entering the league in 2013, Kelce’s profile has skyrocketed, particularly after his relationship with global superstar Taylor Swift.
Recent research by Sportico reveals that Kelce has experienced a staggering 177% increase in licensing income, largely due to his association with Swift. He is projected to earn $30 million from off-field activities this year, the highest among NFL players. This figure surpasses that of his teammate, quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who is expected to earn $27 million off the field.
In addition to his off-field earnings, Kelce’s on-field income is substantial. He signed a four-year, $57.25 million contract extension with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2020, which was restructured earlier this year. His guaranteed salary for this season amounts to $17 million, comprised of a $5.75 million base salary, an $11 million roster bonus, and a $250,000 workout bonus.
Kelce’s growing wealth
Kelce’s growing wealth is not just a result of his NFL contracts. According to Celebrity Net Worth, he is now valued at approximately $90 million. His endorsements with major brands like McDonald’s, Papa John’s, Nike, and Dick’s Sporting Goods contribute significantly to his income. Additionally, Kelce and his brother, Jason, co-host the popular podcast “New Heights,” which recently secured a lucrative three-year, $100 million deal with Amazon’s Wondery.
With his impressive earnings and high-profile relationship, Travis Kelce is redefining the role of a tight end in the NFL and establishing himself as a cultural icon.
