Over the last year, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has become a household name. His fame transcends the sports world thanks to his relationship with pop superstar Taylor Swift, and he’s also been extremely successful away from the football field.
What is Kelce’s net worth, 2024 salary, and career earnings? Let’s delve in.
Travis Kelce’s Net Worth, Salary, and Career Earnings
The three-time Super Bowl winner has an estimated net worth of $70 million. Throughout his time with the Chiefs, he’s earned $76,943,975 from his NFL contracts alone.
In April, Kelce agreed to a contract extension with Kansas City that raised his 2024 salary by $4 million and converted most of his 2025 salary to a roster bonus. Now, he’ll earn $19,551,667 during the 2024 season — making him the NFL’s highest-paid tight end.
Kelce likely could’ve earned more throughout his NFL career if he was willing to hit the open market, but he has always valued winning over a larger salary.
As he told Vanity Fair: “My managers and agents love to tell me how underpaid I am … I’m like, the free market looks like fun until you go somewhere and you don’t win. I love winning. I love the situation I’m in.”
In addition to his NFL contracts, Kelce also has quite a few endorsement deals. He has partnered with companies such as McDonald’s, Pfizer, State Farm, Papa John’s, Bud Light, Sleep Number, Tide, Dick’s Sporting Goods, T-Mobile, Experian, Old Spice, Walgreens, and DirecTV, among others.
Kelce also has one of the most popular sports podcasts, “New Heights,” which he hosts with his brother and former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce. The Kelce brothers recently inked a three-year, $100 million podcast distribution deal with Wondery.

Since he started dating Swift, Kelce has received a ton of off-field opportunities.
For example, Hollywood has come calling over the last year. On “New Heights, the Kelce brothers recently mentioned that they have been meeting with studios about possible movie and television opportunities.
Travis is rumored to have a role in the upcoming Adam Sandler movie “Happy Gilmore 2,” and he recently hosted the first season of the game show “Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?” on Amazon Prime Video.
Last year, Kelce purchased a 16,000-square-foot mansion for $6 million in Kansas City. That same year, he also became an investor in Casa Azul Tequila.
Kelce’s net worth is certainly on the rise, but it seems unlikely that he’ll ever be able to catch up to Swift’s, as her current net worth is estimated at $1.3 billion.
