What is Dansby Swanson’s net worth?
Swanson’s net worth isn’t clear. Most baseball players have their salary, along with business ventures, charitable endeavors and endorsements. Players like Swanson, who are among the best in their sport, usually have several streams of revenue.
But, like most athletes, their only public net worth is their salary, which are tracked by sites like Spotrac and baseball-reference.com. Given that Swanson’s career salary will close in on $200 million by the end of his contract with the Cubs, his net worth is likely in nine figures.

Dansby Swanson’s salary history
Swanson was drafted in the first round by the Atlanta Braves in 2015 out of Vanderbilt. He made his MLB debut in 2017 and made the league minimum.

Assuming Swanson plays out his current deal with Chicago, he will have made $197.74 million by the end of the 2029 season, when he’s 35 years old, per baseball-reference.com. Assuming he continues to play after that, he’ll earn more than $200 million for his career.
