How Much Money Travis Kelce Will Earn For Winning His 3rd Super Bowl in 2024?
A name people other than sports enthusiasts might not have even heard of is quickly becoming one of the most popular people in the headlines. It’s none other than Travis Kelce, the tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs football team, who is having a great year already. From rumored wedding bells with pop star Taylor Swift to his team playing in the Super Bowl this year, Kelce must be on cloud nine.
Who Won the Super Bowl 2024?
More than the mighty Super Bowl win, fans have been excited to see how swiftly Taylor Swift made her way back to the USA to attend the game. The pop star had just wrapped up her Eras tour in Japan and took a private jet to get back in time for kick-off. She was spotted at the game with her BFF Blake Lively and rapper Ice Spice. Since being in a relationship, Swift has attended 12 games to watch her man Travis Kelce in action.
Her presence is said to bring heaps of good luck for the tight-end player as his team took home the Super Bowl trophy last night, defeating the San Francisco 49ers. Kansas City Chiefs have won the iconic match for the third time overall and second consecutive victory. Other than taking the trophy home, the winners of the Super Bowl 2024 including Kelce are set to earn a whopping $164,000 bonus for their win. On the other hand, the San Francisco 49ers players will get $89,000. With the defending champions earning a bonus in the playoffs as well, Kelce’s team is set to earn a total of $338,000 which includes winnings from the AFC Championship and wild-card round, as reported by USA Today.
Kansas City Chiefs won by 25-22 in a thrilling match where Patrick Mahomes was named the Most Valuable Player for securing the winning touchdown. The stakes to win the Super Bowl were higher for Kelce in particular, given his girlfriend just won her fourth Grammy for Album of the Year. He expressed his desire to “come home with some hardware” during a press conference before the match.
Travis Kelce’s Net Worth
Kelce has been finding success in every field he steps into, giving Swifties another reason to worship their idol, Taylor Swift. Their relationship has certainly made headlines but it also shot Kelce to stardom. From his jerseys to other merchandise, the football player is having a baller time with a 400% increase in sales, as reported by Business Insider. His podcast with his brother Jason Kelce, New Heights, has also become more successful. Compared to Swift’s $1 billion net worth, Kelce’s number stands at $40 million.
The NFL four-year contract he signed is worth $57.25 million with an annual payout of $14.3 million per season until 2026. While the NFL salary cap hinders his earnings, Kelce is not too bothered since he earns from other avenues including business ventures and brand endorsements with the likes of Nike, Amazon, and Pfizer which amount to around $3 million per year. Deemed one of the best NFL tight-end players, Kelce has over 5 million followers on Instagram, which can help him charge huge payments for collaborative posts on social media as well. Swift has had a role to play in this as well since Kelce’s follower count rose after news of his relationship broke out.
