The Kansas City Chiefs jock, Travis Kelce, is reportedly seeking advice on how to invest his windfall from his rich celebrity fiancée, Taylor Swift, in order to keep from frittering away his windfall.
An astounding $100 million agreement was reached last week to continue their podcast series by the 34-year-old Super Bowl winner and his 36-year-old brother Jason, who is retired and an All-Pro with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Aside from his work on "American Horror Story," Travis has written and starred in a number of other lucrative projects, such as a new TV horror series produced by the same people.
The NFL tight end's wealth has reportedly increased to $100 million. However, according to insiders, Travis' fortune pales in comparison to his 34-year-old fiancée's incredible $1.3 billion.
"His net worth has absolutely skyrocketed and he's very excited and enjoying splashing some cash to celebrate. He's not terrible with his money, but at the same time this kind of extreme wealth can become overwhelming for people, especially when it happens at warp speed,” an unnamed source told GLOBE Magazine.
Thankfully, he has a sizzling songbird to assist him in controlling his spending.
"Taylor's obviously been dealing with mega wealth for years, so she's been offering him tips on how to handle the change. She's not micromanaging or trying to tell him what to do with his money, but she has been offering him some guidance. He runs all his big decisions by his family, especially his brother, since they're in a partnership,” the anonymous insider claimed.
"And Taylor's also chiming in to give a thumbs-up or a thumbs-down." And the hunky jock's lucky to have her. He's got so many offers from all over the world right now that he's more in demand than any other NFL player. And there's no better business brain than Taylor to help keep him grounded,” the undisclosed informant shared.
Meanwhile, after interviewing twelve Pennsylvanians who were big Swifties, Ethan Singer and Ronda Kaysen combed through scholarly articles, survey results, and more.
The most noteworthy development from Tuesday night's presidential debate, according to some Americans, did not involve Kamala Harris's acclaimed performance. Shortly after the discussion concluded, Taylor Swift endorsed her.
There might not be a bigger celebrity endorsement if this one weren't there. But might it have any real impact on the race?
It's obvious that Taylor's devoted fan base is a powerful influence. In the twenty-four hours that Taylor's Instagram story was live, 405,999 people visited Vote.gov. This is much more than the site's daily average of 30,000 in early September, according to a spokeswoman from the General Services Administration.
On its own, though, the figure doesn't tell you anything. It doesn't reveal anything about the visitors' voting intentions on November 5th, whether or not they registered to vote, or whether or not those visitors were new voters.
When it comes down to it, no one can say for sure what impact Taylor Swift will have. But here are a few ways to approach the subject, based on research and conversations with Taylor fans in Pennsylvania who are college-aged, following the debate, as per The New York Times.
Numerous studies have examined the impact of celebrity endorsements, but the results have been inconclusive. The real impacts are difficult to quantify, even if they are significant. Yet, scientists have made an effort.
Following Oprah Winfrey's endorsement of Barack Obama in the 2008 Democratic primary, researchers examined data from Oprah Magazine subscriptions, book sales, and election results to determine if there was an unexpected advantage for Obama in areas where subscribers to the magazine or books recommended by Oprah's Book Club were popular when accounting for different demographic factors such as age, education level, race, and more.
There was an extra million votes voted for Barack Obama in the primary as a consequence of Winfrey's endorsement; the total number of votes cast was over 30 million. They determined that he did.
But it's possible that this example won't go very far. In primary elections, when voters have to pick between two or more candidates that are essentially identical, celebrity endorsements are more likely to have an impact, according to researchers from California State Long Beach and Ohio's Miami University. When voters are on the fence about an issue, the endorsement of a well-known and respected figure can sway their vote.
Voters' partisanship determines their decisions in midterm elections; political views are typically hardwired from a young age and are resistant to influence from famous faces. Numerous celebrities, including Beyoncé, Jay-Z, LeBron James, Kendall Jenner, George Clooney, and hundreds more, endorsed Hillary Clinton in 2016. That wasn't enough to save her.
Business Times has reached out to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce for comments.
