Jason and Travis Kelce have both been doing well financially thanks to the NFL. Travis Kelce recently signed a two-year contract extension with the Kansas City Chiefs worth more than $34 million. In Jason Kelce’s final season with the Philadelphia Eagles before retiring, he made more than $14 million.
Who knew the real money was in podcasting?
The Kelce brothers have signed a new deal with Amazon’s Wondery to distribute their podcast “New Heights,” valued at more than $100 million. According to various media reportsAnd they don’t even have to repeatedly clash with NFL defensive players.
“We couldn’t be more excited to partner with Wondery for the next phase of New Heights,” said the Kelce brothers. said in a statement“We love this show and the fan base that has grown with us over the past two seasons.
“Wondery understands the shared vision and will offer a wealth of expertise and resources to take us to new heights. We’re going to create some groundbreaking moments together through this partnership. We’re thrilled to kick off Season 3. See you soon, 92%ers!”
The show became popular with the two elite players talking about the NFL with a mix of insider experience and humor, and also featuring big-name guests from the football world. Travis Kelce’s relationship with music superstar Taylor Swift didn’t hurt the show’s visibility either, as the Chiefs tight end became one of the most famous athletes in the world. At the end of the 2022 NFL season, Jason’s Eagles played Travis’ Chiefs in the Super Bowl and that became a big storyline, especially with his mother Donna doing interviews all week. That also helped grow his reputation.

Like Tom Brady, who signed a 10-year, $375 million contract with Fox to broadcast games, the Kelce brothers found a fortune off the football field in the world of media. New heights, no doubt.
