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.

Net Worth History

When he first listed Trevor Story on the site in 2020, multiple sources estimated his net worth at $40 million. However, we believe this figure was significantly overstated, as Story had earned only $12.5 million in MLB at the time. Since then, Story’s salary has dramatically increased, earning him a combined $80 million from 2021 to 2024. This could potentially place his current net worth at the inaccurate $40 million estimate from 2020.

2016	Colorado Rockies	$507,500

When Trevor Story signed with the Colorado Rockies in 2011, he received a $915,000 signing bonus. He played in the minor leagues for five seasons before securing a new $507,500 contract with Colorado. The following two years also paid him similar salaries.

In 2019, the Rockies avoided arbitration by signing Story on a one-year, $5 million contract. The following year, he received a two-year extension worth $27.5 million. The first year paid him $5 million, including a $2 million signing bonus. The latter season earned Story $17.5 million.

Trevor secured his first nine-figure contract in 2022 when he signed with the Boston Red Sox. The deal was fully guaranteed at $140 million over six years. Story is currently in the fourth year of the agreement, having already earned $62.5 million. He is projected to earn $22.5 million for the 2025 season.

Thus far in his MLB career, Trevor Story has earned $92.5 million in salary and bonuses, with $77.5 million remaining in guarantees.

Additional Income Sources

According to reports, Trevor Story has signed endorsement deals with five brands during his career, including Athletes’ Brand, High Brew Coffee, Nike, Rawlings, and T-Mobile. His earnings from said partnerships have never been disclosed to the public. However, they have likely helped supplement his income from baseball. Story is also available for speaking engagements, social media campaigns, and corporate appearances, but again, his fees aren’t listed.

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.
