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.

In 2005, Justin Verlander signed a five-year, $4.45 million rookie contract with the Detroit Tigers, which included a $3.15 million signing bonus. His base salary was $316,000 in 2005, and his annual salary gradually increased to $500,000 by the end of the contract.

In 2009, he earned $4 million before signing a new five-year, $80 million deal with the Tigers. The contract significantly increased Verlander’s average annual salary to $16 million; however, he only earned $40.5 million under the agreement before renegotiating a seven-year, $180 million extension.

Verlander’s $180 million deal paid him $20 million/year for 2013 and 2014, followed by $28 million for 2015 and 2016. In 2017, Justin was traded to the Houston Astros, earning $4.7 million with the team but retaining $23.3 million from the Tigers.

In 2022, he earned $25 million and then signed a new $86.7 million contract with the New York Mets. Verlander earned $43.3 million in 2023 and $47.5 million in 2024 before becoming a free agent.

At the time of writing, Justin Verlander has earned $398.5 million during his MLB career in salary and bonuses.

Endorsement Deals

Forbes has previously ranked Justin Verlander among the world’s highest-paid athletes on several occasions. According to the publication’s estimates, he earned between $750,000 and $1 million per year off the field at the time. Much of this was derived from his Under Armour deal. Verlander has been signed to Under Armour since the early 2010s, covering both gear and apparel.

Additionally, he’s been sponsored at one point or another by the following brands:

2K Sports
Breitling
GSK
Fathead
Ford
Majestic
Old Hickory
Rawlings
Supercuts

Real Estate

In October 2016, Justin Verlander and Kate Upton paid $5.25 million for a 5,521-square-foot home in Beverly Hills, California.

They tried their luck with an initial asking price of $11.75 million, but were unable to close a sale. According to reports, they sold this property to actor Timothée Chalamet for $11 million in 2022.

From 2021 to 2023, Kluber earned an additional $34 million, and more recent estimations place his net worth at roughly $30 Million.

When Corey Kluber signed with the San Diego Padres in 2007, he received a $200,000 signing bonus. Four years later, Kluber made his MLB debut, signing a one-year, $414,000 contract with the Cleveland Indians.

Kluber’s next three contracts were all one-year deals, typically earning him between $480,000 and $514,000/year.

In 2015, Corey signed his first long-term contract, a five-year, $38.5 million extension with the Cleveland Indians, which included a $1 million signing bonus. The agreement increased Kluber’s average annual salary to $7.7 million, although it would be a couple of years before he began earning figures close to this number.

Kluber earned $2 million in 2015, followed by $4.5 million in 2016. By 2017, he was earning $7.75 million/year under the deal. His earnings peaked at $17.5 million for the 2019 season when he was traded to the Texas Rangers. Given the additional club option, plus bonuses and escalators, Kluber secured $48.7 million in total from the contract.

Corey Kluber played three more seasons in the MLB, earning $11 million with the New York Yankees, $13 million with the Tampa Bay Rays, and $10 million with the Boston Red Sox. He earned a total of $85.6 million during his career.

Endorsement Deals

Kluber was never heavily endorsed during his time in Major League Baseball; however, he did sign deals with several brands that likely helped boost his overall income. This included:

Fanatics
Johnnie Walker
Launch Coffee Co.

Given how little information there is surrounding his endorsements, we can assume that his annual earnings from such deals never reached the high six figures. An estimate of $100,000 per year is much more probable, but this is just our best estimate.

Real Estate

Corey Kluber and his wife, Amanda, purchased a property in Tampa, Florida, for $3.95 million. The couple later filed a lawsuit against the Tampa-based interior designer, Amanda Drew, and Drew Designs LLC, regarding work they performed on the property. Drew Designs allegedly fraudulently inflated the cost of the renovations and overbilled Corey and his wife. However, the outcome of the lawsuit is unknown.

Lifetime earnings total $142.7 million from salary & bonuses

Net Worth History

When we initially researched Jacob DeGrom’s net worth in 2021, it was estimated at roughly $12 million. This evaluation came just after the close of the 2020 season, at which point DeGrom had earned approximately $34 million in career salary and bonuses. Coincidentally, his salary skyrocketed to $20 million the following year, and even higher in 2023 after he signed an $185 million contract with the Rangers.

As a result, Jacob has earned approximately $108.5 million on the field since we began tracking his net worth. Thus, more recent estimations place DeGrom’s current net worth in the ballpark of $70 Million.

Total Career Earnings:		$102,659,998

When Jacob DeGrom first signed with the New York Mets in 2010, he received a $95,000 signing bonus. He played in the minor leagues for several years before signing a new one-year, $500,000 contract with the team in 2014.

From 2014 to 2018, all of deGrom’s contracts were one-year long, starting at the mid-six-figure level and gradually increasing to $4.05 million in 2017 and $7.4 million in 2018.

In 2019, deGrom signed his first long-term, nine-figure contract, a five-year, $137.5 million extension with the Mets. The deal included a $10 million signing bonus and increased his average annual salary to $27.5 million. It was agreed that $52.5 million of the contract’s value would be deferred and paid out between 2035 and 2038.

DeGrom received half of his bonus in his first season, earning $12 million in total. The other half was paid out in 2020, earning him $9.1 million for the year. By 2021, his salary had increased to $20 million, with 2022 earnings slightly less at $18.5 million.

Jacob was given the ability to opt out of the agreement after the 2022 season, which he exercised. In 2023, he inked a five-year, $185 million deal as a free agent with the Texas Rangers. Thus far, he’s earned $70 million under the contract and is projected to earn $40 million in 2025.

Jacob deGrom’s career earnings currently total $142.7 million, with $167.5 million remaining in guarantees. At the age of 47, deGrom will begin receiving his deferred payments from the New York Mets at an average rate of between $12 million and $15 million annually.

Endorsement Deals

In 2025, Forbes ranked Jacob deGrom as the 6th-highest-paid athlete in the MLB. He earned an estimated $40.3 million for the year, with a tiny fraction of this figure representing off-field income. Baseball players typically don’t earn a whole lot of money outside the sport compared to those in the NBA and NFL. So, while deGrom only earned approximately $300,000 from brand endorsements last year, this is still rather normal. Based on the information above, Jacob’s off-field earnings account for less than 1% of his annual income.

Several partnerships contribute to these earnings, most notably with Nike and Wilson, which cover apparel and sports equipment. He has also appeared in commercials for Ford Lincoln of Queens and GEICO.

Real Estate

According to reports, in 2024, Jacob deGrom paid $6.65 million for a 7,795-square-foot, five-bedroom, seven-bathroom home in Westlake, Texas. Since Texas is a non-disclosure state, not much else is known about the property. However, we do know that it features an outdoor pool and is located in front of a golf course. DeGrom also owns a 2.5-acre, three-bedroom property in DeLand, Florida, which he purchased for $430,000 in 2016.
