Where Does Chiefs Star Travis Kelce Invest His $20 Million NFL Earned Money?

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been crucial in the franchise’s three Super Bowl runs in the last four years. Especially with Patrick Mahomes losing his wide receiver Tyreek Hill during the 2022 offseason. And this sort of dependability has given Travis a cozy $20 million net worth over the years.

And the younger Kelce doesn’t spend his hard-earned money foolishly. Over the years, the Chiefs Kingdom’s no. 87 has made some quality investment decisions. Let’s take a look at how the Cleveland-born NFL star spends his lavish fortune.

The investment portfolio of Travis Kelce

The Chiefs picked Travis Kelce in the third round of the 2013 NFL draft. And since then, Kelce has been the prime catalyst to Mahomes and Kansas City’s success. They have won seven straight AFC West divisional titles along with five straight conference championship appearances. Add to that the Lombardi in Super Bowl LIV. Mitchell Schwartz was the 4x All-Pro offensive tackle for the Chiefs that year.

And Kelce teamed up with Schwartz off-field as well. The Chiefs duo, along with several other celebrity athletes like Dwyane Wade, J. J. Watt, and Dak Prescott, invested in hot sauce company Cholula in 2019. And the TE got a 4x return on his investment in 2020 when food giant McCormick acquired Cholula. Not bad, Travis.

That’s not it. The 8x Pro Bowler also joined Kevin Durant, Odell Beckham Jr., and Cristiano Ronaldo as an investor in Mexican-origin fantasy sports startup Draftea in December last year.

What is the latest thing on Kelce’s radar?

After 10 years in the NFL, the 33-year-old is not just about the profits. Travis also cares about the environment. And in October 2022, the offensive star decided to clean up the oceans when he invested heavily to reduce plastic contamination. Kelce invested in ZenWTR, a company that supplies recycled, ocean-safe plastic alkaline water bottles for ecological balance. Aaron Rodgers is also part of this investment.

However, Kelce isn’t stopping. This week, days ahead of Super Bowl LVII, Kelce has announced his debut partnership in the RTD market.

Travis put his money on Casa Azul Tequila Soda this week. “I’m excited to turn up and announce my investment in Casa Azul Tequila Soda. To all the other hard seltzer brands out there, know your role and shut your mouth,” Kelce said. This was a reference to his comeback trash-talk after the Cincinnati Bengals AFC Championship game.

Also, Travis doesn’t just have to depend on his football income in the future. He started the New Heights Podcast with brother and Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce last year. And it has become one of the most popular destinations on the Internet for NFL fans. Surely, finance trackers can expect many more Kelce investments in the future.
