Travis Kelce net worth shockingly small vs. fiancée Taylor Swift

The Kansas City Chiefs star has made a lot of money in his career on and off the field, but his wealth pales in comparison to the recording artist’s.

Travis Kelce isn’t hurting for money, but he’ll certainly be marrying into a higher class of wealth when he ties the knot with Taylor Swift.

This is the 35-year-old Kelce’s 13th NFL season all with the Chiefs and he’s on a 2-year, $34.25 contract. He’s made $94 million in salary over those seasons. He also reportedly has a 3-year, $100 million for his podcast “New Heights” with brother Jason Kelce. Plus, he has a $6 million mansion with a mini golf course and a pickleball court. He’s endorsed by major brands like Nike, Bud Light, and State Farm, and even just opened up a signature steakhouse in Kansas City with superstar teammate Patrick Mahomes.

With all that, Forbes just reported that Kelce has a net worth around $70 million.

He’s certainly amassed enough for a lifetime. But Swift’s money, now that’s a whole new level of money as the same Forbes articles has her at $1.6 billion. He real estate portfolio alone is worth more than Kelce’s entire value at $120 million. She has a $23 private jet as well. But, she can afford all that. Especially after her Eras Tour grossed over $2 billion — the most ever.

So with all that, Kelce would bump the couple’s net worth to $1.67 billion. So basically, he has about 5 percent of what Swift brings to the table.

The engagement ring could’ve set him back up to $5 million as well that she flashed during the epic proposal.

It may be a “Love Story” between the football star and the global icon singer, but it’s certainly a wealth story as well.

Will they go all out for the wedding? They can certainly afford to.
