    Who Has the Higher Net Worth: Chiefs Star Travis Kelce or Pop Superstar Taylor Swift?

    Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are both extremely successful, and their bank accounts reflect that. But who has the higher net worth?

    Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and pop superstar Taylor Swift are a power couple, as both have risen to the top of their respective fields.

    Swift has amassed a massive following and recently wrapped up arguably the most successful tour of all time. Meanwhile, Kelce is a three-time Super Bowl champion who hosts a massively successful podcast.

    But this begs the question: who has the higher net worth? From Kelce’s NFL contracts and endorsement deals to Swift’s hugely popular tour and music sales, let’s delve into who has earned more.

    What Is Taylor Swift’s Net Worth?

    Swift is absolutely killing it, with a net worth estimated at $1.6 billion. Over the last two years, her net worth has skyrocketed thanks to the earnings from her ridiculously popular “The Eras Tour” and the increasing value of her masters. In early 2023, she had an estimated net worth of $740 million, so it has drastically increased in a very short span.

    As of January 2025, Swift is the 2,029th-richest person on the planet, according to Forbes’ Real-Time Billionaires ranking.

    She’s just the fifth musician to reach billionaire status, joining Rihanna, Jay Z, Jimmy Buffett, and Bruce Springsteen. However, Forbes notes that Swift “is the first musician to make the billionaire ranking primarily based on her songs and performances.”

    Her music catalog is worth roughly $600 million, her touring and royalties have brought in nearly $600 million, and she also has $125 million in real estate.

    “The Eras Tour” was a huge money-maker, becoming arguably the most successful tour of all time. She recently became the first solo artist to play Wembley Stadium eight times in a single tour, breaking Michael Jackson’s record that stood for 36 years.

    The subsequent “Eras Tour” film was a hit as well, grossing $261,656,269 worldwide and breaking the record for a concert film (previously set by Jackson’s “This Is It”). The documentary also earned a Golden Globe nomination in the new Cinematic and Box Office Achievement category.

    What Is Travis Kelce’s Net Worth?

    Throughout his time with the Chiefs, Kelce has earned $93,943,975 from his NFL contracts alone.

    Kelce has a net worth of $90 million, built on his NFL earnings, endorsements, and ventures like Casa Azul Reposado Tequila. The veteran’s business acumen matches his athleticism.

    Kelce’s ventures go beyond apparel and nutrition. He’s also a savvy investor, earning a four-times return on his stake in L Catterton’s acquisition of Cholula Hot Sauce when McCormick & Company bought the brand for $800 million in 2020.

    In Oct. 2023, Kelce and Walmart unveiled a barbecue product line, Travis Kelce’s Kitchen, inspired by Kansas City flavors. This followed the success of his 2022 collaboration with Hy-Vee, which launched Kelce’s Krunch, a limited-edition cereal supporting his charitable foundation.

    Beyond football and business, Kelce shines in other arenas. He continues to redefine what it means to be an athlete in the modern era, from behind a microphone to the football field and boardrooms.

    A prolific endorser, he’s been the face of brands like 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. His entrepreneurial spirit took flight in 2019 with the launch of Hilo Nutrition, a health brand specializing in performance gummy supplements. Shortly after, in 2020, Kelce introduced Tru Kolors, his clothing line, which became the first NFL player-owned brand to collaborate officially with an NFL franchise, the Chiefs.

    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 become a household name and 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.

    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.

    Chiefs vs. Eagles Super Bowl Preview

    Based on PFN’s win probability model, which ran 10,000 simulations via the PFN Playoff Predictor, the Eagles have a 52.8% chance of defeating the Chiefs.

    The Chiefs are aiming to become the first team in NFL history to win three straight Super Bowls. Kansas City has won three of the last five Super Bowls and will be the first NFL team to play in five Super Bowls over a six-season span.

    This is Philadelphia’s third Super Bowl appearance in the last eight seasons. The Eagles defeated the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII and lost to the Chiefs two seasons ago in Super Bowl LVII.

    Kansas City Chiefs Trends and Insights

    • The Chiefs have 17 straight one-score wins (12-0 this season, their last three playoff games last year, and their last two regular season games). Twelve one-score wins is the most in a single season all-time, tied with the 2022 Vikings, 2019 Seahawks, and 2015 Broncos.
    • Patrick Mahomes passed Joe Montana for the second-most playoff wins by a starting quarterback (17) and John Elway for the second-most playoff game-winning drives by a quarterback (seven).
    • From 2019-24, the Chiefs have made six Super Bowl appearances, are chasing a fourth title, and have won 78% of their regular season games. For reference, the Splash Brother Golden State Warriors (2015-19, 2022) made six NBA Finals appearances with four titles and won 76.2% of their regular season games.
    • The Chiefs have averaged over 2.5 points per offensive drive in four straight games when playing their regulars – that’s a good formula, as NFL teams have won 78.9% of their games this season when clearing 2.50 PPD.
    • During his career, Mahomes has averaged 3.9 carries for 20 yards and 0.13 touchdowns on the ground during the regular season. In the postseason, those rates elevated to 5.4 attempts, 29.1 yards, and 0.35 touchdowns per game.

    Philadelphia Eagles Trends and Insights

    • The Eagles peaked early last season and scored 155 points over a five-game win streak (Weeks 7-12). Over their past five games, they’ve scored 166 points.
    • Jalen Hurts ran for three scores in his prior Super Bowl experience, joining Terrell Davis as the only player to do that in The Big Game. With his three rushing scores on Sunday, Hurts joined LeGarrette Blount as the only players in NFL history with multiple playoff games in which they ran for three-plus touchdowns.
    • Philadelphia has forced 19 turnovers in their past six games, a run that includes four games with three-plus.
    • The Eagles became the sixth team to have multiple players rush for multiple scores in a playoff game, the first since Rex Burkhead and Sony Michel did it for the 2018 Patriots.
    • Since 2022, the Eagles are 18-8 ATS (69.2%) when facing a team that enters play with at least as many wins as losses (second best, trailing only the 20-6-1 Lions).
    • Hurts will become the eighth quarterback to start multiple Super Bowls within his first eight seasons. Of the previous seven, only Elway failed to secure a ring within his first five seasons—though Elway would famously cap off his career with Super Bowl victories in his final two seasons.
