Okay, so I got thinking about Corey Seager the other day. You know, the shortstop for the Rangers. Saw him play, guy’s incredible. And it just popped into my head – I wonder how much that dude is actually worth? Like, what’s his bank account looking like?
My Little Investigation
First thing I did, naturally, was just pull out my phone and start searching. Typed in the usual stuff, “Corey Seager net worth,” “Corey Seager money,” “how rich is Corey Seager,” you get the idea.
Right away, the big number everyone talks about shows up: that massive contract he signed with the Texas Rangers. What was it? Something like $325 million over 10 years. Crazy money. That’s the headline figure everywhere.
Then I started clicking on those celebrity net worth websites. You know the ones, they estimate what famous people have. Saw a few different numbers thrown around.
- One site said maybe around $50 million.
- Another popped up with closer to $60 million, maybe a bit more.
- Saw a few others, some slightly different figures again.
Putting it Together
So, you see that $325 million contract and think he’s got all that right now. But then I started thinking, hold on a sec. That’s spread out over a whole decade. He doesn’t get it all at once.
And you gotta figure in the real-world stuff:
- Taxes: Uncle Sam gets a huge slice of that pie. A really huge slice.
- Agent Fees: His agent isn’t working for free, gotta pay them their percentage.
- Living Expenses: Pro athletes usually live pretty well, that costs money too.
- Investments?: Maybe he’s smart with his money, maybe not, who knows?
I also tried looking up if he does many commercials or has big sponsorship deals. Found some mentions here and there, like maybe Nike or Adidas or something from his past teams, but it’s not as clear-cut as the playing contract. That stuff adds up too, but it’s harder to track down the exact amounts.
So, What’s the Deal?
After poking around for a bit, here’s what I figured. That $325 million number is his contract value, not his current cash in the bank or total net worth right this second. His actual net worth is built up from his salary over the years (remember he played for the Dodgers before Texas), plus whatever he makes from endorsements, minus all the taxes and expenses.
The websites giving estimates like $50 million or $60 million? They’re probably looking at his earnings so far, guessing the taxes and spending, and making an educated guess. It’s not like they have his bank statements.
Bottom line: Nobody outside Seager’s inner circle knows the exact number down to the penny. But based on that monster contract and his career earnings, he’s doing extremely well. The online estimates seem like they’re in the right ballpark, give or take. He’s definitely got a lot of dough, way more than I’ll ever see! It was interesting trying to piece it together, though.
