Okay, so I got curious the other day about Roger Clemens, the baseball guy. Just popped into my head, you know? How much is he actually worth after all these years? Seemed like a simple enough question to answer.
Getting Started
So, I sat down at my desk, woke up the old computer. Did the usual thing, opened up a web browser. Typed in something like “net worth roger clemens” or “how much money does roger clemens have”. Kept it simple.
The search results page filled up pretty quick. Lots of stuff came back, as you’d expect. But here’s the thing, right away I saw different numbers being thrown around. Not just one clear answer.
Trying to Make Sense of It
I started clicking on a few of the results. You know how it is. You go to one site, it gives you a figure. Then you check another one, and maybe it’s close, maybe it’s off by a few million. Sometimes you see a number that looks way too high or way too low compared to the others.
It’s a bit frustrating, honestly. You see these lists:
- Some sports news outlets have their estimates.
- Then there are these websites dedicated just to celebrity finances.
- Even some general news places might mention it in an article.
They all seem to have their own number. I saw figures mostly floating around the $60 million mark, give or take. Some pushed it closer to $70 million. It makes you scratch your head, how do they even calculate this stuff?
The Reality Check
I spent a bit more time clicking around, hoping maybe one source would seem more solid than the others. But you quickly realize, none of these places really know for sure. It’s not like Roger Clemens is opening up his books for them.
They look at his old contracts, endorsement deals from back when he was playing, maybe guess at investments. It’s all just educated guessing, really. They pull public info where they can find it and fill in the gaps. It’s impossible for us on the outside to get an exact number.
So, after poking around for a while, reading a few different takes, I sort of settled on the idea that his net worth is probably somewhere in that $60 million to $70 million range. That seemed to be the most common estimate bouncing around. But yeah, it’s just an estimate based on what’s out there online. Only Roger and his financial folks know the real score.
