Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce is estimated to have a net worth of $52 million, per Forbes.
In April 2024, the 10-time Pro Bowler signed a contract extension with the Chiefs worth $34.25 million, making him the highest-paid tight end in the NFL.
Kelce, however, always makes sure to give back whenever he can. The 35-year-old established a nonprofit organization, 87 and Running Foundation, which aims to “empower disadvantaged youth to achieve success by providing resources and support to their communities.”
Earlier this month, Kelce decided to dig deep into his pockets by committing to a substantial donation to “change lives.”
According to a press release by Brea, California-based nonprofit Foster Love, Kelce recently purchased a new home in Kansas City for a whopping $3.3 million.
The twist, however, is that the home is not for him. Kelce bought the house “with plans to transform it into a transitional living facility for homeless youth.” “The 6,500-square-foot home offers six bedrooms, five bathrooms, and a spacious kitchen, providing a comfortable environment for its young residents,” read the press release.
“Outside, there are gardens, a patio, and a fire pit to help create a relaxing atmosphere. Inside, a game room and study area ensure there’s plenty of space for fun and focus.
This new home will offer more than just a place to stay-it will be a place where youth can build their independence and focus on a brighter future.”

Kelce’s $3 million decision has turned heads on social media as fans heaped praise on the Chiefs star’s generosity. “Wow! It’s so great to see someone with this kind of influence and resources doing so much good! Bravo!” a comment on Instagram read. “Good man!” a fan reacted.
“This is amazing and we need more people who have the ability to step up and do things like this. Well done Travis,” said another. “he’s always doing so much for KC,” pointed out a user.
“Now that is what you should be remembered by,” wrote a reader. “Yess! IF YOU HAVE THE MEANS SUPPORT THE YOUTH,” commented another. Kelce will forever go down in history as one of the greatest tight ends to ever do it.
However, apart from all that he has achieved on the field, the three-time Super Bowl champ is making sure that he’s also able to make a significant impact on those who are most in need.
