Most professional baseball players are pretty wealthy, but there are some that are richer than others. If you have a love of this sport, you will definitely be interested to know about which players are the very richest in the world. A lot of the money these players make comes from endorsement deals, but they are rich all the same.

1. Cliff Lee

Clifton Phifer Lee, known to most people as just Cliff, is estimated to be worth around $120 million. He is a starting pitcher on the Philadelphia Phillies, who makes roughly $24 million each year. This is an incredibly impressive figure, especially when you stack it up against most of the other players in this sport. Over the years, he’s had multiple endorsement deals, and he’s got a five-year contract with this current team.

2. Randy Johnson

Another very rich professional baseball player is Randy Johnson, who is worth about $115 million. His many endorsement deals through extremely popular brand name products have gotten him to the very top, financially speaking. Also known as “The Big Unit”, Johnson played for the Seattle Mariners, as well as the Arizona Diamondbacks.

3. Prince Fielder

Prince Fielder is a starting baseman for the Milwaukee Brewers and he is worth approximately $100 million. Born in Ontario, he quickly rose to the top in this sport because of his uncanny talent. His father is Cecil Fielder, a former Detroit Tigers all-star. Fielder is widely regarded as being one of the best players in modern baseball, and he definitely has the net worth to reflect it. With a batting average of 283, it’s easy to see why he was paid so much.

4. Barry Bonds

Barry Bonds net worth is estimated around $80 million. His father is MLB all-star Bobby Bonds and he played for the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1986 to 2007. In 2013, Bonds put his Beverly Park house on the market for $25 million. When he was actively playing in the league, he earned around $15,500,000 per year. There were very few other players in the league at the time that could match Bonds in terms of sheer talent, and he was – and still is – one of the richest.

5. Chipper Jones

Chipper Jones earned about $110 million through his long career in baseball. He played for the Atlanta Braves starting in 1993, and he had a truly amazing career, to say the least. He won the coveted MVP award back in 1999 for his outstanding talent. He started out as a baseman, and he played the game for almost 20 years. He had an annual salary of $13 million, which was fairly high even back when he first started playing.

There have been many baseball players throughout history, but very few of them even come close to being as rich and talented as these men. Most baseball players earn a good salary, but they pale in comparison to the players on this list.
