Well now, folks, let me tell ya ’bout this David Ross fella. Y’all might know him as the former catcher for the Chicago Cubs, and maybe even some of ya remember when he was doin’ good with the team. But what we’re really talkin’ ‘bout here is how much money that man’s got stashed away in his pockets, or as they call it, his “net worth.” Now, don’t go expectin’ fancy talk from me, I’ll tell ya in a way that makes sense, simple like the beans we grow in the garden.
David Ross, he wasn’t always rich like folks think. He worked hard, played hard, and eventually, he got himself a nice big ol’ contract with them Cubs. Back when he signed with ’em, he got himself a 2-year deal worth $5 million dollars. That’s right, $5 million. Ain’t that somethin’? On top of that, he got a signing bonus of $500,000. That’s a whole lotta cabbage to a country gal like me. His salary for them two years was around $2.5 million a year. Now, that’s just the kind of money most of us never see in our whole lives, but David Ross, he worked for it.
Now, I don’t know if any of y’all keep track of this kinda thing, but back in the day, David Ross wasn’t just livin’ off baseball money. He got himself into some other businesses too. In 2008, he was a big shot in the UK, one of the top 100 richest folks over there. I ain’t talkin’ small change either; they say he had a net worth of about $1.4 billion at his peak. Can you imagine? A billion dollars! That’s enough to buy a whole county full of land, with farms and barns and all. Back in 2015, they said his net worth was still up there around a billion pounds. It’s hard to wrap your head around, but there it is.
But like I said before, it ain’t just about baseball and big bucks for David Ross. The man’s a coach too. After he wrapped up his time playin’ ball, he moved on to coachin’. And though he ain’t playin’ no more, his time on the field and in the dugout still brings in a nice paycheck. But just like with everything, it’s a bit of a rollercoaster. They say he was even gonna leave the Cubs in 2024 for another job somewhere else, but the big wigs over there decided to keep him. They say David Ross is still workin’ with the Cubs through 2024. Even though, just this November, they let him go. That’s how things go sometimes—ain’t always easy, but folks gotta move on.
So, how much is David Ross worth now? Well, if we go by them old reports, he’s still sittin’ pretty with a net worth of a few million. Ain’t near the billion he had at one point, but still, that’s a good chunk of change, and it ain’t gonna be hard for him to make a livin’. With his name still big in the baseball world, I reckon he’ll keep makin’ money, whether it’s from coaching, endorsements, or just his past fame. A fella like that, he don’t go broke overnight.
Now, I can’t say for sure how much he’s got tucked away right this minute, but the way I see it, David Ross is doin’ alright for himself. He’s had his time in the spotlight, and even though things change, he’s got enough in the bank to live comfortable for the rest of his days. And that, folks, is all I gotta say ‘bout David Ross and his money.
