David Ortiz tops annual list of highest-paid baseball players

In 2022 it looked like the baseball player’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Sunday (December 22) that Ortiz is the highest-paid baseball player in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between November 2023 and November 2024, a nearly $60 million lead over his closest competition.

People With Money’s factors

In compiling this yearly list, the magazine considers factors such as upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.

The American baseball player has an estimated net worth of $275 million. He owes his fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. He also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Ortiz Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Santo Domingo Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderortiz - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from David) and a fashion line called “David Ortiz Seduction”.

The ranking is significant for many David fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
