Total Career Earnings:		$455,159,552

Despite being out of the game for several years, Alex Rodriguez still holds the record for the highest-earning player in MLB history. He earned a total of $455.2 million throughout his career, comprising both salary and bonuses. This figure was split among the Seattle Mariners, Texas Rangers, and New York Yankees, with the latter accounting for just under $345 million of his career earnings.

Early Career Contracts

In 1994, at just nineteen years old, the Seattle Mariners signed A-Rod to a three-year rookie contract worth $1.3 million. This included a $1 million signing bonus, which at the time was a significant sum for a player’s first contract.

At the end of his rookie period, Rodriguez signed a new three-year agreement with the Mariners, guaranteeing him $10.7 million. With most of the value being heavily weighted toward the end of the contract’s lifespan, he earned $1.1 million in his first year. His annual salary then increased by roughly $1 million per season, reaching $4.36 million by 2000. This concluded his time in Seattle, accounting for $12 million, or approximately 2.6% of his lifetime earnings.

Peak Career Earnings

When Alex Rodriguez signed with the Texas Rangers in 2001, he secured a record-breaking $252 million, ten-year contract. At the time, this was the highest-value contract ever signed in the sport’s history. In fact, the record remained unbroken for almost a decade until A-Rod decided to break it himself. We’ll get to that in just a second.

Under the contract, Rodriguez played the first three seasons with the Rangers, earning an average annual salary of roughly $19.4 million. Following this period, he was traded to the New York Yankees, and the Rangers agreed to pay $67 million of his remaining salary. This money was deferred and later paid out annually from 2011 to 2013. Hence, A-Rod earned a total of $98.2 million with the team, despite only playing with them for three seasons.

By 2007, Alex Rodriguez’s annual salary had reached $24.7 million. He opted to void the final three years of his deal and negotiate a new $275 million, ten-year agreement with the Yankees. His salary eventually peaked at $33 million per year in 2009 and 2010. Rodriguez opted for retirement at the end of the 2015 season, finishing his career with $455.2 million in earnings. At the time of writing, only one other player in Major League Baseball (Justin Verlander) has exceeded $400 million in career earnings.

Business Ventures

Rodriguez started in business in 2011, when he partnered with entrepreneur Mark Mastrov. During that year, they launched Energy Fitness in Mexico, expanding it into one of the country’s largest gym chains. Five years later, Rodriguez joined NRG Esports as an early investor in March 2016, alongside Shaquille O’Neal and Jimmy Rollins. NRG was founded by Sacramento Kings co-owners Mark Mastrov and Andy Miller in late 2015.

As its popularity grew, Rodriguez joined subsequent funding rounds, although the exact funding amounts were not disclosed. However, the Series B round, in which Rodriguez invested, raised approximately $15 million. In the same year, Rodriguez partnered with UFC GYM, obtaining the rights to develop the franchise across Miami-Dade County, Florida. His first purchase was the UFC GYM in Kendall, followed by other UFC gyms in Plantation and Doral in 2020.

Fitplan

A few years later, in 2019, Rodriguez and his company, A-Rod Corp, co-led a $4.5 million financing round for Fitplan, a personal trainer app. The app offers workout routines from top trainers worldwide. Two years later, in August 2021, Rodriguez co-founded another app, called Jump, with Marc Lore and Jordy Leiser. The app allows sports teams to manage their ticket sales, merchandise, and fan engagement in one place. In August 2025, Jump secured $23 million in a Series A funding round, led by Alexis Ohanian’s Seven Seven Six firm, pushing Jump’s total funding to $58 million and its valuation to over $100 million.

Minnesota Timberwolves Acquisition

Rodriguez continued his business ventures in April 2021, partnering with Marc Lore again to acquire the Minnesota Timberwolves and their women’s team, the Lynx, for $1.5 billion. The payment was split into three parts, and, after their first two payments, their stake increased by 20%. Following the third payment, it was set to rise by an additional 40%. However, in March 2024, the owner, Glen Taylor, announced that Rodriguez and Lore had missed the final payment.

As a result, Taylor attempted to cancel the deal, claiming that the teams’ value had risen and that they were worth more than $1.5 billion. However, Rodriguez and Lore disputed Taylor’s claim and initiated an arbitration process to determine who had the right to own the teams.

In early 2025, the arbitration panel ruled in their favor, ordering Taylor to honor the original contract. As a result, the Timberwolves and Lynx were then officially owned by the Lore-Rodriguez group.

PFL Investment

In May 2022, a year after the Timberwolves’ acquisition, Rodriguez joined a $30 million Series E funding round for the Professional Fighters League (PFL). Rodriguez also joined the PFL board of directors and began advising on the league’s strategy. By mid-2025, Rodriguez, along with other investors, had raised over $200 million in investment capital for PFL. This is just one of Rodriguez’s many successful investments, which have contributed significantly to his growing net worth.

Real Estate

Coral Gables Homes

In May 2010, Alex Rodriguez paid $7.4 million for a 1.11-acre plot of land on North Bay Road in Miami Beach, Florida. He constructed a 19,861-square-foot, nine-bedroom home on the property and listed it for sale at $38 million in August 2012. A deal was finalized for $30 million in May 2013.

In July 2013, Rodriguez paid $2.69 million for a 1.46-acre lot in Coral Gables. He then built a 10,427-square-foot, six-bedroom, eight-bathroom home. The property is worth an estimated $11.5 million, according to recent appraisals. However, how much Rodriguez spent constructing either of these two homes is unknown.

2022	Milwaukee Brewers	$22,000,000
2023	Milwaukee Brewers	$22,000,000
Total Career Earnings:		$86,835,613

When Christian Yellich first signed with the Miami Marlins in 2010, he received a $1.7 million signing bonus. He played in the minor leagues for a few years before signing a new one-year, $480,000 contract with the team in 2013. Yellich also played on a one-year, $505,000 deal the following year.

In 2015, Christian signed his first long-term contract, a seven-year, $49.6 million extension with the Miami Marlins. However, he would spend only three more years with the Marlins, earning just $5.1 million before being traded to the Milwaukee Brewers. At Milwaukee, Yellich earned $7 million in 2018, followed by $9.75 million in 2019. The final two years of the deal were scrapped so that Yellich could sign a new extension with the Brewers. Thus, he earned just $21.8 million of the contract’s value.

In 2020, Yellich inked a seven-year, $118.5 million extension with Milwaukee, increasing his average annual salary to $26.9 million. Although he earned just $4.6 million in 2020 and $14 million in 2021, his salary has since increased to $22 million, a figure he will continue to earn through 2028.

The contract’s structure stipulated that $28 million of the value be deferred and a mutual option for 2029 be included. According to the deal, the mutual option includes a $6.5 million buyout. If the option is exercised, Yellich will receive his deferred compensation at a rate of $2.33 million/year from 2031 to 2041, plus an additional $2.7 million in 2042. If the option is declined, he will receive $2.5 million/year from 2031 to 2042.

Thus far in Christian Yellich’s MLB career, he’s earned $108.9 million in salary and bonuses. However, with roughly $122.5 million remaining in guarantees, this figure will increase dramatically in the near future.

Real Estate

Malibu Home

In June 2018, Christian Yellich acquired a 2,526-square-foot, three-bed, three-bath property in Malibu, California, for $5.6 million. He received quite the discount on the home, considering the previous owner had initially listed it for $8 million the year before. The property underwent four price reductions and was pending sale at $6 million, with Yellich securing a further $400,000 discount in the final negotiations.

In December 2019, Christian listed the property for rent at $30,000/month and reduced the price to $25,000/month shortly thereafter. Towards the end of 2020, he listed it for sale, with an asking price of $6.3 million. Roughly one year later, it sold for $6.5 million, $200,000 over the ask.

Arizona Home

In September 2018, Yellich paid $3.9 million for a 1.03-acre, four-bedroom, seven-bedroom home in Paradise Valley, Arizona. Three years later, he sold the house for $6.5 million, likely netting at least $2 million in profit.

2019	New York Mets	$15,000,000
2020	New York Mets	$12,000,000
Total Career Earnings:		$194,106,500

When David Wright signed a one-year contract with the New York Mets in 2001, he received a $960,000 signing bonus. He played in the minor leagues for several years before signing a new one-year, $322,500 deal for the 2005 season. Wright signed another one-year deal in 2006, earning him $374,000.

In 2007, David inked his first long-term deal, a six-year, $55 million contract with the Mets, which included a $1.5 million signing bonus. The agreement increased Wright’s average annual salary to $9.2 million. However, his salary scaled as the contract progressed, resulting in earnings of $2.6 million, $5.1 million, and $7.55 million for the first three years. By the contract’s final year, Wright was earning $15.1 million.

In 2013, Wright secured a $138 million, eight-year extension with the team. Under the deal, he typically earned $20 million/year. However, he was forced to retire after the 2018 season due to multiple injuries. Wright retained the $27 million remaining on his contract, earning him $15 million in 2019 and $12 million in 2020.

During his MLB career, David Wright earned $194.1 million in salary and bonuses, all of which were earned with the New York Mets.

Endorsement Deals

In the mid-2010s, Forbes often ranked David Wright among the world’s highest-paid athletes. Now, baseball isn’t typically a sport where we see athletes earning tens of millions of dollars per year from brand endorsements. Bear that in mind, because Wright reportedly earned $800,000 per year off the field at the time. For an MLB athlete, this was actually a sizable sum. Just a handful of the league’s athletes earned more than him off the field, including the likes of Clayton Kershaw, Albert Pujols, and Miguel Cabrera.

During this period, Wright’s most valuable endorsement deals were with Wilson and Nike. Under the Wilson partnership, he released his own signature glove, named the Wilson A2000 DW5, which is still being sold by the company today. Outside of equipment and apparel, Wright was also previously sponsored by Rawlings and Delta Air Lines.

Vitamin Water Investment

One of Wright’s more lucrative investments, or technically endorsements, was when he accepted a 0.5% minority stake in Vitamin Water, rather than receiving cash. This was the same brand that made rapper 50 Cent tens of millions of dollars when it was sold to Coca-Cola for $4.1 billion in 2007. Naturally, if we do the math, Wright’s 0.5% stake would have equated to roughly $20.5 million at the time of the sale. This is undoubtedly a significantly higher sum than he would have received in an upfront cash endorsement contract.

Real Estate

In June 2014, David Wright paid $7.5 million for an 8,622-square-foot, five-bedroom, seven-bathroom home in Manhattan Beach, California. According to recent estimations, the property is worth approximately $19.1 million. That’s a pretty sweet increase in just ten years. However, according to public records, it also costs Wright a pretty penny in annual property taxes – roughly $115,000/year.

Philanthropy

Wright established the David Wright Foundation in 2005 to raise money for multiple sclerosis organizations and projects and to increase awareness about the disease.

Introduction

Carlos Correa is a Puerto Rican professional baseball player with an estimated net worth of $50 Million.

Carlos Correa has played 11 seasons of Major League Baseball for two teams, the Houston Astros and the Minnesota Twins. Holding a 0.274 batting average, he’s hit 1,185 times for 189 home runs. From salary and bonuses alone, he’s earned approximately $97.9 million, averaging $8.9 million/year.

This profile examines Carlos Correa’s net worth history, MLB contracts, salary, endorsement deals, and assets.

Quick Facts

Projected to earn $36 million for the 2025 season
Lifetime earnings total $134 million from salary & bonuses
Signed a 6-year, $200 million contract with the Minnesota Twins in 2023
Secured endorsement deals with Nike and Topps

Net Worth History

When we first discussed Carlos Correa’s net worth in 2021, it was approximately $7 million. That might seem like a low number for a guy who recently signed a $200 million contract with Minnesota. However, Correa’s net worth figures for 2021 were evaluated midway through the year, at which point his career earnings totaled roughly $15.1 million. That year, he earned $11.7 million, and from 2022 to 2024, he earned an additional $107.2 million from salary and bonuses.

As a result, recent calculations place Carlos Correa’s estimated net worth in the ballpark of $50 Million. With projected annual earnings of at least $30 million over the next four years, his wealth should continue to increase significantly in the short term.

MLB Salary

Year	Team	Salary
2012	Houston Astros	$4,800,000
2015	Houston Astros	$330,013
2016	Houston Astros	$516,700
2017	Houston Astros	$535,000
2018	Houston Astros	$1,000,000
2019	Houston Astros	$5,000,000
2020	Houston Astros	$2,962,963
2021	Houston Astros	$11,700,000
2022	Minnesota Twins	$35,100,000
2023	Minnesota Twins	$36,000,000
Total Career Earnings:		$97,944,676

When Carlos Correa was first signed by the Houston Astros in 2012, he received a $4.8 million signing bonus. He spent three years in the minor leagues before signing a one-year, $330,000 contract with the Astros in 2015.

From 2015 to 2021, all of Correa’s contracts were one year long, and his annual salary gradually increased with each subsequent agreement. Correa’s first seven-figure salary came in 2018; by 2019, he was earning $5 million/year. This figure increased to $8 million in 2020 and to $11.7 million in 2021.

In 2022, Carlos signed his first multiple-year deal: a three-year, $105.3 million contract with the Minnesota Twins. He earned $35.1 million for the year, but opted out of the two final seasons to become a free agent.

In 2023, Correa secured a new deal with Minnesota valued at $200 million over six years. While the contract had a slightly lower AAV, its six-year length provided more security. Carlos has earned $72.1 million under the deal, with a further $127.9 million remaining.

Thus far in his MLB career, Carlos Correa has earned $134 million in salary and bonuses. This figure should increase to $262 million by 2028.

Endorsements

Carlos Correa also earns a decent chunk of change off the field. Still, it’s difficult to estimate precisely how much, considering that the financials of his primary endorsement contract are unknown.

In the very early days of his career, back in the minor leagues, Correa earned just $2,500 for his first deal with Nike. He switched to Adidas in 2016, signing a lucrative five-year contract for an undisclosed sum. However, reports suggest that the agreement was “record-breaking”, which leads us to believe he likely earned between $3 million and $5 million per year from the deal. This would be in line with other prominent MLB stars’ contracts.

Additionally, in 2015, Carlos Correa signed a multi-year, $1 million contract with Topps, allowing the brand to exclusively sell autographed trading cards, jerseys, and wall art. While Topps already has a group licensing agreement with the Major League Baseball Players Association, various players are given specialized contracts.

Forbes estimated Correa’s current endorsement income at $500,000 per year. Still, since his deal with Adidas is no longer active, this figure likely represents a significant decline from the several years prior.

Real Estate

In March 2023, Carlos Correa paid $7.5 million for a 9,475-square-foot, five-bedroom, seven-bedroom home in Wayzata, Minneapolis. This is Correa’s current residence, which costs him roughly $50,000 in annual property taxes.
