Travis Kelce Salary

Travis Kelce entered the National Football League in 2013 when he was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in the third round. Despite an injury cutting short his rookie season, he quickly rose to prominence and became an essential part of the Chiefs’ offense. Over his first decade in the NFL, Kelce earned nearly $80 million in salary alone.

His first major contract came in 2016 when he signed a five-year extension worth $46 million, including $22 million in guaranteed money. In April 2024, Kelce inked another major deal—a two-year contract extension valued at $34.25 million. This pushed his total NFL earnings beyond the $100 million mark.

Kelce’s on-field accolades are as impressive as his earnings. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history, holding records such as the fastest tight end to reach 10,000 receiving yards. He has been a central figure in the Chiefs’ Super Bowl victories in 2020 (LIV) and 2023 (LVII).

Nike
Bud Light
McDonald’s
Papa John’s
Tide
State Farm
T-Mobile
Experian
Old Spice

Pfizer

His 2023 endorsement deal with Pfizer, which promoted COVID-19 booster shots, sparked debate, especially among conservative critics. While rumors circulated that Kelce was paid $20 million for the campaign, industry estimates suggest the value was closer to $1–2 million.

In early 2023, Kelce became an equity investor in Casa Azul Tequila, a premium beverage brand created by the founders of Core water and Fuze tea. The brand gained attention when pop superstar Taylor Swift, now dating Kelce, was seen enjoying it at one of his games.

$100 Million Podcast Deal with Amazon

Beyond the field, Kelce has found success in the media world. Together with his brother Jason Kelce—also a former NFL player—he launched the popular podcast New Heights in 2022. The show blends humor, football insights, and behind-the-scenes stories from the brothers’ careers.

In August 2024, Amazon’s Wondery signed the Kelce brothers to an exclusive three-year distribution deal worth $100 million (approximately KSh14.6 billion). This massive podcast contract has placed Kelce among the highest-paid figures in the media podcast space.

Real Estate Assets

Kelce has made several high-profile real estate purchases. In 2019, he bought a 10,000-square-foot mansion in Kansas City for $995,000. Four years later, in October 2023, he upgraded to a luxurious 16,000-square-foot estate in a gated neighborhood, reportedly spending just under $6 million (KSh875 million).

Personal Life

Born on October 5, 1989, in Westlake, Ohio, Travis is the younger brother of Jason Kelce, the former Philadelphia Eagles center. Travis first gained attention at Cleveland Heights High School and later starred at the University of Cincinnati.

Off the field, Kelce founded Eighty-Seven & Running, a nonprofit that mentors and supports underserved youth with resources and opportunities. He launched the initiative in 2015 as part of his ongoing commitment to giving back.

In his personal life, Kelce made headlines in 2023 when his relationship with Taylor Swift went public. Swift’s appearances at Chiefs games ignited media frenzy, turning Kelce into a pop culture icon as well.

Before Swift, Kelce dated media personality Kayla Nicole for several years. He also had a brief stint on reality TV in 2016, starring in E!’s Catching Kelce.
