Travis Kelce has dominated pop-culture conversations since he started dating Taylor Swift in 2023.
But NFL fans have long known the Kansas City Chiefs star as one of the top tight ends in the league.

On Monday, April 29, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce signed a two-year contract worth $34.25 million, making him the highest-paid tight end in the NFL, CNN reported, citing his representatives at Milk & Honey Sports.

But while Kelce, 34, is widely known for his talent on the football field (and, of course, his relationship with Taylor Swift), he's also built an impressive resume of endorsement deals, investments, and side hustles, like his popular podcast, "New Heights," that contribute to his multimillion-dollar net worth.
