Alright, so today I’m gonna walk you through my little adventure trying to figure out Mahomes’ net worth. It’s all over the internet, but I wanted to see if I could get a handle on it myself, you know, from scratch.
First things first, I started with the basics. I mean, I know he’s a quarterback, and a pretty damn good one at that, so I figured his NFL contract would be the obvious place to start digging. So, I punched in “Mahomes contract details” into Google and BAM! A whole lotta articles popped up. I skipped past the clickbaity headlines and went straight for the sites that usually have the real deal, like ESPN and *.
It turns out Mahomes signed this crazy long, massive contract extension with the Chiefs. Something like 10 years, half a billion dollars… insane! Okay, so that’s a HUGE chunk of change right there. I wrote that down – gotta keep track of this stuff.
Next, I figured he’s gotta have endorsement deals. I mean, the dude is everywhere! Commercials, ads, the whole shebang. So, back to Google I went, this time searching for “Mahomes endorsement deals.” I saw mentions of State Farm, Adidas, Oakley, and a bunch of other big names.
This is where it got a little trickier. Finding the exact numbers for these endorsement deals is like pulling teeth. Nobody just throws that info out there. But, I did find some articles estimating how much he pulls in from endorsements each year. I saw numbers ranging from like, $7 million to $20 million annually. Big range, I know, but it’s something to work with. I decided to go with a more conservative estimate – let’s say around $10 million a year, just to be safe.
Okay, so we’ve got his contract and endorsements. What else? Well, I remembered seeing something about him having ownership stakes in some businesses. Time for another Google search: “Mahomes business investments.” Sure enough, I found articles about him being involved in the Kansas City Royals and Sporting KC (the local soccer team).
Again, finding the exact value of these investments is a pain. They’re private, so the info isn’t just floating around. But, I pieced together some estimates from different articles. Some said these investments could be worth a few million, others said even more. I decided to add a “potential investment value” of, say, $5 million, just as a placeholder.
Now, let’s not forget about taxes! The government always wants their cut. So, I had to remember that he’s not keeping all that money. I just estimated about 40% goes to taxes, maybe a little less, maybe a little more, but that’s a safe bet.
So, here’s what I did:
- Took his average annual salary from his NFL contract (about $45 million).
- Added his estimated annual endorsement income ($10 million).
- Figured 40% of that combined income goes to taxes.
- Then, I factored in his potential investment value (a rough $5 million).
After crunching the numbers, and keeping in mind all the estimated and conservative figures I used, I came to a rough estimate of Mahomes’ net worth being somewhere in the ballpark of… well, let’s just say it’s a seriously large number, probably somewhere between $70 million and $100 million, and it’s probably more than that, considering I was being conservative with the numbers.
Keep in mind, this is just my own little exercise, and it’s based on publicly available information and some educated guesses. The actual number could be higher or lower. But hey, it was fun trying to figure it out!
