Travis Kelce has established himself as a millionaire as a result of his remarkable career in the National Football League (NFL). However, his star is only increasing more in large part because to his relationship with Taylor Swift, which has left fans both old and new inquisitive about his net worth.
Based on the information provided by Celebrity Net Worth, the native of Ohio is expected to have a net worth of $70 million as of the year 2024. Through his career as a professional football player, Travis is able to generate the majority of his money. The Kansas City Chiefs selected him in the fourth round of the 2013 NFL Draft, and he went on to contribute to the team's success in winning Super Bowls LIV and LVII.
Travis extended his deal with the Chiefs for a period of four years, bringing his total compensation to $57,250,000 in 2023. This equates to an annual pay of $14,312,500 on average.
In April 2024, Travis extended his contract with the Chiefs for a period of two years after celebrating his third Super Bowl victory in February of that same year. There were multiple reports that stated that the new agreement established Travis as the highest-paid tight end in the National Football League. According to these sources, Travis is now getting $17.25 million annually.
Travis is able to earn money through his employment in the National Football League (NFL) by endorsing organizations. A number of well-known companies, such as Nike, Tide, T-Mobile, Old Spice, Walgreens, McDonald's, Papa John's, Sleep Number, and Dick's Sporting Goods, have collaborated with him throughout his years in the industry.
One more way that Travis Kelce brings in money is through his partnership with his brother, Jason Kelce, who was a player for the Philadelphia Eagles in the past. Together, they present the podcast titled "New Heights." During the month of March in the year 2024, it was reported that the brothers were looking for a rich investment opportunity for the podcast.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if it was $100 million. Companies want Jason and Travis’ podcast because of the deep relationship they have with their audiences,” Eric Silver, head of development at Multitude, a podcast collective studio, stated.
The news that Travis and Jason had inked an exclusive ad-sales and distribution rights deal with Amazon's Wondery that was valued more over one hundred million dollars was reported by Variety on August 27, 2024. Eric was absolutely correct in his prediction.
“We couldn’t be more excited to team up with Wondery for the next phase of ‘New Heights.’ We love this show and the fan base that has grown with us over the last two seasons. Wondery understands the shared vision and will offer a wealth of experience and resources to take us to ‘New Heights,'” the Kelce brothers said in a statement.
In addition, Travis and Jason were the focus of the documentary Kelce, which was originally released on Prime Video in 2023. The documentary follows the brothers as they prepare to compete against each other during the Super Bowl and contemplate when the appropriate moment is to retire.
Under the brand name Travis Kelce's Kitchen, Travis Kelce introduced a series of barbecue meals that were already made and sold at Walmart in October of 2023. The line features some of the most popular comfort foods in Kansas City, such as bacon mac & cheese, baked beans, and sausage, a variety of brisket dishes, and sausage and meatball marinara with peppers and onions.
According to the internet data that were obtained by In Touch Weekly, the athlete submitted six requests for trademarks in the state of Ohio in the month of October 2023. In addition to requesting that his name be trademarked, Travis also requested that the words "Flight 87," "Alright Nah," "KillaTrav," and "Kelce's Krunch" be registered. "Alright Nah" is his distinctive catchphrase, while "KillaTrav" is his Instagram username. "Flight 87" is a reference to his Chiefs jersey number. He uses "Alright Nah" on a frequent basis.
In the meantime, Travis is involved in the fashion and design industries. In the latter half of the year 2023, his company, Tru Kolors, collaborated with the Chiefs to produce a capsule capsule collection.
“I have fun in fashion. I have a lot of fun creating, especially with the different types of fabrics you can have, different types of looks,”” Travis told Forbes.
Travis is now bringing his talents to primetime television, despite the fact that he is best recognized for his physical abilities in the National Football League. Travis was successful in securing the role of host for the game show "Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?," which is a spinoff of the original game show "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?"
“I grew up loving game shows, and I’m excited to be following in the footsteps of so many TV icons by hosting my very first one with ‘Are you Smarter than a Celebrity?’ The original show is a great success, so to be bringing a new format with everyone’s favorite celebrities to the screen, will definitely be entertaining. I’m just happy to be on the hosting side of the equation here and excited to see how these famous faces keep up,” the three-time Super Bowl winner told Prime Video in an April 2024 press release.
Travis was also attempting to break into the world of scripted television when he was offered his first acting job in the series "Grotesquerie" created by Ryan Murphy. The production of the FX series began in May of 2024, and the debut is scheduled to take place on September 25 of that same year. According to IMDb, Travis has appeared in each and every one of the ten episodes.
Additionally, the athlete is expanding their career into the film industry. Travis will make a cameo appearance in the long-awaited sequel to his legendary golf comedy, Happy Gilmore, according to Adam Sandler, who disclosed this information during an appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon on August 20, 2024.
Travis has had experience with financial difficulties in the past, despite the fact that he earns an amazing salary. In Touch has confirmed in an exclusive manner that he has accumulated more than $200,000 in overdue taxes over the course of the past seven years, which derive from liens that were filed in 2016, 2017, and 2018.
Travis's home state of Ohio has issued a tax lien against him for the amount of $46,579, dating back to June of 2016. In accordance with the online record maintained by Franklin County, the lien is still in effect. On the other hand, In Touch has announced that it has been paid off.
According to the online records collected by Franklin County, Travis was subjected to a state tax lien in the amount of $64,198 in the state of Ohio, and it is presently marked as active. In addition, according to Cuyahoga county web documents that were viewed by In Touch, the athlete was subject to a state tax lien in the amount of $909 in Ohio beginning in December of 2018.
Two further tax liens were placed against him, the first of which was a federal tax lien for $77,128 from June 2017, and the second was a tax lien from the state of California for $111,123 from August 2018. The two tax liens, on the other hand, have been released since then.
2023 was the year that the NFL star disclosed the reasons behind his decision to appear on the dating show Catching Kelce in 2016. He also disclosed that he had previously struggled financially.
“I turned down the show about 100 times [at first], it felt like. I was having so much buying whatever the hell I wanted to, going wherever the hell I wanted to. I wasn’t financially looking at this as, you know, I need to have money down the line. [But] there were times in the offseason … I was avoiding the rent lady. It was that bad. I heard about this situation where I could make six figures in two weeks and I was like, ‘Uhhh …’ And 50 ladies? I’m like, ‘This is actually starting to sound a little better,’” he stated.
Despite the fact that Travis's announcement in July 2023 that he was "butt hurt" that he did not get the chance to meet Taylor at her Eras tour stop in Kansas City caused the internet to go into a frenzy, the two ended up connecting in the end. There were rumors that they had been hanging out since September, but it was proven when the vocalist from "Enchanted" stepped up to support the tight end during his Chiefs' game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium on September 24.
Over the course of the season, Taylor continued to show her support for Travis by attending a number of games, including the Super Bowl in 2024, which the Chiefs ultimately won. After the triumph, the couple displayed a great deal of public display of affection (PDA) at the afterparty, as well as shared kisses on the field.
For the sake of attending Taylor's "Eras" tour, Travis has gone to a number of different countries, including Europe, Asia, and Australia. During the intermission that preceded the performance of "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart" at Wembley Stadium in England in June 2024, he even joined his girlfriend that was performing onstage.
