“My managers and agents love to tell me how underpaid I am.”
Travis Kelce, a two-time Super Bowl champion and star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, is currently fourth on the list of highest-paid athletes to play the position.
At 34 years old, Kelce owns an impressive collection of NFL records. However, when it comes to earnings, TJ Henderson of the Minnesota Vikings, Darren Walker of the New York Giants and George Kittle of the San Francisco 49ers surpass him, as reported USA Today.
In the second year of his lucrative four-year, $57.25 million contract with the Chiefs, Kelce is guaranteed an annual salary of $14.3 million through 2026. However, in January 2023, the tight end acknowledged openly expressed his frustration with the Chiefs’ adherence to the NFL salary cap.
“My managers and agents love to tell me how underpaid I am,” Kelce said during an interview with vanity fair. “Every time I talk about wanting more money, they say, ‘Why don’t you go to the Chiefs and ask them?’
The Kansas City Chief tight end referenced how his former teammate Tyreek Hill, who was traded to the Miami Dolphins in 2022, immediately began earning “two or three times” what Kelce earns with the Chiefs.
“You see how much more money you could make and, yeah, it hits you in the gut a little bit. It makes you think they’re taking advantage of you,” Kelce continued. “I don’t know if I really pushed the accelerator to get what I’m worth, quote-unquote… But I know I enjoy coming to that building every day.”
In addition to his NFL earnings, Kelce enjoys substantial income thanks to lucrative endorsement deals with brands such as Nike, Old Spice, T-Mobile, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and popular fast food chains such as McDonald’s and Papa John’s.
Celebrity Net Worth and Yahoo! Finance, estimates that Kelce has a net worth of $30 million. While this seems like a lot, this would amount to less than the ticket sales from her girlfriend Taylor Swift’s latest tour, according to Business Insider.
