Who has more money, Taylor Swift or Travis Kelce? Singer and NFL player’s net worth
Swift was at the M&T Bank Stadium to watch boyfriend Kelce in action for the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game against the Ravens.
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce - whose team faced the Baltimore Ravens today in the AFC Championship Game - is a fabulously wealthy man. However, the NFL star’s fortune looks positively microscopic when compared to the net worth boasted by his girlfriend, pop icon Taylor Swift.
How much is Travis Kelce worth?
According to the prestigious finance magazine Forbes, Kelce’s net worth currently stands at around $40 million. Per NFL money experts Spotrac, the two-time Super Bowl champion is presently paid an average base salary of $14 million per year at the Chiefs, as part of a $57.25 million contract he signed with Kansas City in 2020.
Meanwhile, Kelce has a series of lucrative sponsorship agreements, endorsing brands such as McDonald’s, Nike, Bud Light and State Farm. And thanks to his high-profile romance with Swift, the 34-year-old’s marketing popularity is on the rise. For example, AP reported in September that sales of Kelce’s No. 87 jersey rocketed by 400 percent after Swift was first seen watching her beau at a Chiefs game.
How much is Taylor Swift worth?
Simply put, Swift is in a different financial stratosphere to Kelce. Also 34, the 12-time Grammy winner’s net worth is now estimated by Forbes at about $1.1 billion, after she hit the 10-figure mark last year on the back of her hugely successful Eras Tour.
“Her fortune includes more than $500 million in estimated wealth amassed from royalties and touring, plus a music catalog worth $500 million and some $125 million in real estate,” Forbes says.
In December, entertainment-industry specialists Pollstar revealed that Swift’s ongoing Eras Tour, which comprises more than 150 concerts worldwide, had become the first tour by a music artist to gross over $1 billion.
In addition, Swift’s Eras Tour movie, shot across three shows at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium in August, has earned over $260m globally since its release in October, per Box Office Mojo. The picture’s success led Guinness World Records to recognise it as the top-grossing concert film of all time, and earned it a nomination for the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement award at this month’s Golden Globes.
Will Swift be at the Super Bowl?
That’s the question everyone is asking and nobody will know for sure until Feb. 11. You can read all about the logistics of her voyage from Japan to Las Vegas to make it to the Super Bowl. As you can see, it won’t be easy, but it isn’t impossible either. We’ll have to wait and see if Swift makes the journey to see her boyfriend take on the 49ers.
