Travis Kelce has quite an impressive business portfolio.

He rose to fame when he began his professional football career as a tight end with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2013 and has played there ever since. While playing with the Chiefs, Kelce has won three Super Bowl championships and become a 10-time Pro Bowler.

In addition to getting paid to play with the Chiefs, Kelce also has a successful podcast with his brother, Jason Kelce, titled New Heights. In August 2025, the football brothers recorded their most-viewed episode ever when Kelce’s then-girlfriend, Taylor Swift, appeared on an episode.

The tight end and the Grammy winner began dating in October 2023, and they announced their engagement in August 2025. Swift and Kelce shared a joint Instagram post announcing the news on Aug. 26. He proposed with a custom ring featuring an Old Mine Brilliant Cut diamond that he designed with jewelry designer Kindred Lubeck and Artifex Fine Jewelry. Jewelers have estimated that the sparkly ring is worth up to $5 million.

Kelce’s fame reached new heights after he started dating Swift, which led to a spike in commercial sales, helping him earn $2.4 million from jersey sales, video games and other group licensing income between February 2023 and 2024, per Forbes.

As of August 2025, Kelce has an estimated net worth of $70 million, per Forbes. He also earned a spot on the outlet’s list of the top 10 highest-paid NFL players in 2024.

After playing college football at the University of Cincinnati, Kelce’s professional football career began in 2013 when he signed his first of several contracts with the Kansas City Chiefs. According to CNBC, Kelce’s rookie contract was worth $3.12 million and included a $703,304 signing bonus.

In 2016, Kelce signed a five-year deal for $46 million, with $20 million guaranteed, per ESPN. According to the outlet, in 2020 — with two years remaining on that contract — he signed a four-year extension for $57.25 million, with $28 million in guarantees.

Most recently, Kelce signed a two-year deal in April 2024 for $34.25 million, with $17 million guaranteed for the upcoming season, per ESPN.

How much has Travis Kelce made off the field?

One of Kelce’s largest revenue drivers is New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, the podcast he co-hosts with his brother, Jason. In August 2024, the siblings signed a $100 million, three-year deal with Amazon’s Wondery.

In addition to his gig as a podcast host, Kelce has also made several appearances on television series over the years — and even had a program of his own.

In 2016, Kelce was the star of the E! reality dating show Catching Kelce — which he revealed on The Pivot Podcast in February 2023 that he was motivated to join for financial reasons.

Kelce admitted that after going pro, he quickly spent his first few paychecks “like it was nothing,” to the extent that he even fell behind on rent — which made the Catching Kelce salary offer one he couldn’t turn down.

“So I heard about the situation where I can make six figures in two weeks? I was like … ‘This is actually starting to sound a little better,’ ” he said.

Although the show aired for only one season, Kelce later went on to host Prime Video’s Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?, made a cameo in Happy Gilmore 2 and had a role in Ryan Murphy‘s FX series Grotesquerie. However, it is unclear how much he earned from these roles.

What are Travis Kelce’s biggest endorsement deals and brand partnerships?

Kelce has been expanding his brand off the field for years, securing a diverse range of endorsements and partnerships. In February 2024, Forbes reported that the athlete had earned an estimated $5 million in endorsements from companies including Bud Light, Nike, Pfizer and State Farm.

The outlet has also noted his various sponsorships with brands including Campbell Soup, Experian, General Mills and Subway. Additionally, Kelce has appeared in commercials for several major companies, including Pepsi and Lowe’s.

In June 2024, the Kelce brothers took their business ventures further by joining Garage Beer as investors. That November, CEO Andy Sauer told Forbes that they are “by far the largest investors.”

Kelce also founded Kelce Jam, a music festival that debuted in 2023 and returned for a second year in 2024. Most of the festival’s revenue came from sponsorships, per Forbes.

While his earnings from the event were not disclosed, Forbes reported that brand partnerships for the second Kelce Jam increased five times, and the festival was projected to generate three times the revenue of its first year.

How much has Travis Kelce donated to charity?

In 2015, Kelce launched his official charity foundation, 87 & Running, which has led a number of initiatives and donated to various causes since.

In January 2024, the foundation donated enough money to the Rebuilding Together Kansas City organization to help a local resident rebuild her home. A few weeks later, Kelce worked with after school program Operation Breakthrough — which his foundation has collaborated with several times over the years — to give out 25,000 meals to Kansas City students.

That February, Kelce made two separate $50,000 donations from the foundation to the GoFundMe page for the family of two girls who were injured during the mass shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade.

What has Travis Kelce said about his wealth?

Kelce has learned to manage his money over time, but he has been open about the financial lessons he had to navigate early in his career. During a February 2023 appearance on Stash Wealth, Kelce described having to learn over time what his “lifestyle spending limits were.”

“It was a lot of trial and error in trying to figure out what made me happy, but at the end of the day, what is going to keep my family safe, keep my financial accumulation … and how to save it the best way, invest it the best way,” he said.

During a May 2023 episode of New Heights, Kelce shared that the first thing he bought with his NFL paycheck was a “pair of size 13 Nike Air Mag Marty McFlys, the coolest shoes that I’d ever seen in my life.”

Kelce also reflected on his early financial missteps, saying, “The reason why I lost all my money in my first year, I might have went to Vegas or Florida on one of those off days and enjoyed myself. The dumbest thing I ever bought with my rookie money: bottles in the club.”

Though Kelce is one of the highest-paid NFL players, he has been candid about how his salary compares to other players in the league — but has made it clear his loyalty lies with the Chiefs.

“My managers and agents love to tell me how underpaid I am,” he told Vanity Fair in June 2023. “I’m like, the free market looks like fun until you go somewhere and you don’t win. I love winning. I love the situation I’m in.”

How much was Travis Kelce’s engagement ring to Taylor Swift?

On Aug. 26, Kelce and Swift announced that they were engaged after two years of dating. They posted a series of emotional photos from their floral-filled outdoors engagement and captioned the post, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨.”

Kelce popped the question with a ring he designed with Kindred Lubeck at Artifex Fine Jewelry. The stunning ring features an Old Mine Brilliant Cut diamond ring on a gold band. Swift showed off the rock with a close-up shot of the ring.

Although Kelce and Lubeck haven’t gone into detail over the ring or how they came up with the design, several jewelers have shared their personal insights.

Jeweler Hannah Florman told PEOPLE in a press release that the diamond is antique and around 8 carats, which would make it “extremely rare.”

“Because of the technology available at the time, stones were often cut in a way that resulted in a lower color grade than what you see here, so I imagine sourcing this quality and size of stone led to an inflated cost,” she said.

Meanwhile, Ann Grimmett, VP of merchandising at Jared Jewelers, agreed with the assessment on the size of the diamond, and added in a press release that the rock could be anywhere from 7 to 9 carats.

“The center stone appears to be a bezel set 7 to 9 ct elongated old mine cushion cut, set in 18k yellow gold. The side stones look to be a half-moon plus a small round, which contribute to its more vintage look,” she said, while estimating that the price range is between $250K-$500K.

Neil Dutta, Managing Director of jeweler Angelic Diamonds, added that the “vintage” feel of the ring would make the ring around $1.3 to $1.5 million.

However, celebrity jeweler George Khalife gave the largest estimate and thought that the diamond could be closer to 20 carats and cost anywhere from $3.5 to $5 million.

“The ring seems to come with some serious history! Old Mine diamonds are rare and hard to come by,” he shared. “It means the diamond is naturally occurring, and hand-cut, using techniques that we rarely see anymore! The whole look feels really antique, which I think suits Taylor perfectly.”
