Alright, so I was browsing the internet the other day, curious about how much dough baseball players make. You know, just one of those random thoughts that pop into your head. I stumbled upon Cody Bellinger’s name and got curious about his net worth. I mean, the guy’s a beast on the field, so I figured he must be raking it in, right?
So, I started digging. First, I hit up some of the usual sports websites. They had some info, but it wasn’t super detailed. I needed more. Then, I remembered those financial websites that track celebrity net worth. Bingo!
I went through a few of those sites, and guess what? Most of them put Cody Bellinger’s net worth at around $5 million as of 2024. Not too shabby, huh? One site even mentioned it was closer to $2.5 million, but the majority consensus was $5 million. That’s a lot of money. I guess all those home runs and diving catches really do pay off!
Here’s what I gathered after spending an embarrassing amount of time on this:
- Main Source of Income: Baseball, obviously. The guy’s contracts with the Dodgers and Cubs have been pretty hefty. I saw one source saying his yearly salary is around $12 million! Can you imagine?
- Endorsements: Like any big-name athlete, Bellinger probably rakes in some extra cash from endorsement deals. I didn’t find specific numbers, but it’s safe to say it adds to his fortune.
- It’s Growing: It seems like his net worth has been steadily increasing over the years. Makes sense, considering he’s still in his prime and probably has a few more big contracts coming his way.
- The NL Central Factor: I was confused when I saw one page mentioned the National League Central had the highest average of home runs among all six MLB divisions. I guess it means Bellinger’s performance (and therefore, his earning potential) might be influenced by the division he plays in.
- Yankees Rumors: Oh, and there were some whispers about him being linked to the Yankees. That would be a huge deal, and probably a massive payday if it ever happens.
Honestly, it was way more interesting than I expected. It’s crazy to think about how much money these athletes make. But hey, they put in the work, right? It also kind of makes me want to dust off my old baseball glove and start practicing again. Maybe there’s still hope for me yet! Just kidding… unless?
