Travis Kelce, who earns $5,000,000 every year with his endorsement deals, per Insider, has attained center stage after his much-publicized linkup with Taylor Swift. However, what recently gained him a random spotlight was his vaccine commercial with Pfizer, which is apparently paying him $20,000,000 this year.

Chiefs TE and Grammy award-winning pop sensation Swift’s love interest, Travis Kelce, has recently become the talk of the NFL town with his Pfizer ad. What made it even more interesting was Aaron Rodgers’s reaction to it. Profluence’s Andrew Petcash reported that Kelce might have been paid $20 million by Pfizer.
Travis Kelce’s $20,000,000 Vax Deal
Kansas City Chiefs’ star player, Travis Kelce, is promoting a new campaign for Pfizer. In the ad, the TE encourages people to receive their flu shot and updated COVID-19 vaccine simultaneously. Kelce, who led the Chiefs to a 2-0 record in the league, was featured in the Pfizer vax advertisement aired during the “Sunday Night Football” match against the Jets. The ad emphasized Kelce’s “two shots in one go” concept, reflecting on the CDC’s recent recommendation to administer both vaccines concurrently to combat the Omicron XBB variant.
Kelce typically makes ~$5M a year from endorsements (on top of his $14M salary)…
Some of them include:
• Nike
• Tide
• T-Mobile
• Old Spice
• Walgreens
• McDonald’s
• Papa John’s
• Sleep Number
• Dick’s Sporting GoodsIt’s reported Pfizer paid him $20M this year. pic.twitter.com/Z4ASDI0TJa

In the advertisement, a pharmacist advises Kelce to combine his flu shot and COVID-19 shot. This suggestion leads him to imagine performing unrelated activities simultaneously, like grilling burgers while riding a lawnmower. The video concludes with Kelce proudly displaying two Super Bowl rings and playfully asserting, “two things at once.” However, Kelce’s mother, Donna Kelce, teasingly points out that it’s not truly doing two things simultaneously. Nonetheless, in the end, Kelce proudly showcases two Band-Aids on his arm – one for the flu shot and one for the COVID shot.

Kelce’s rising prominence is expected to greatly benefit his brand partnerships, which already generate an estimated $5 million through endorsements with industry titans like Nike, Bud Light, State Farm, Pfizer, and Experian. Experts predict that his earnings could potentially double in light of his growing popularity. In addition to these lucrative endorsements, Kelce has demonstrated shrewd investment choices. For instance, he invested in Cholula hot sauce, a venture that resulted in McCormick acquiring it for an astounding $800 million in 2020.
He also backed the at-home rowing machine startup Hydrow which secured an impressive $255 million in funding. Furthermore, Kelce has diversified his investments by allocating funds to Casa Azul tequila, PlayersTV, Indochino menswear, RealTruck truck accessories, and launched various enterprises including Hilo Gummies and Tru Kolors sportswear. To top it off, Kelce co-hosts the highly popular podcast “New Heights” alongside his brother, Philadelphia Eagles Jason Kelce, which also ranked #1 on Apple Podcasts.
