Travis Kelce: From Tight Ends to Theme Parks & Million-Dollar Podcasts
Meet Travis Kelce, 36, NFL champ, Taylor Swift's fiancĂ©, and apparently a business mogul masquerading as a football player. This Kansas City Chiefs tight end co-founded 1587 Prime steakhouse with teammate Patrick Mahomes (because why just throw touchdowns when you can also serve well-done steaks?). Alongside his brother Jason, Kelce launched 'New Heights' podcast in Sept 2022, snagging some star power from Brad Pitt, LeBron James, and sweet-talking Swift herself, earning a $100M Amazon-Wondery deal in 2024. As if that wasnât enough to fill a schedule, Kelce teamed with hedge fund Jana Partners on Oct 21, 2025, to buy 9% of Six Flags worth $200M, causing stock to soar 18%. Meanwhile, his reps magically dodge business questions like a cornerback. Oh, and yes, he's worth $70M, so no plain applesauce for dinner here.

Travis Kelce went from catching footballs to catching stocks: $100M podcast deal, a steakhouse with Mahomes, and buying up a piece of Six Flags like itâs fantasy football. Meanwhile, his reps ghost like itâs a rookie hazing tradition.
Kelceâs side hustle roster reads like a daytime Emmy winnerâs rĂ©sumĂ©: podcast, steakhouse, Six Flags investor. Somewhere Taylor Swiftâs still just waiting for him to sit down and watch a Netflix show.
Nothing like investing millions in Six Flags when you could be investing in sleeping. But hey, at least when Kelceâs reps dodge questions heâs consistentâa true master of the disappearing act.
