Travis Kelce
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has invested in the Renault-owned Alpine Formula One team alongside teammate Patrick Mahomes and four-time golf major championship winner Rory McIlroy.
The athletes are part of a consortium led by private equity firm Otro Capital, which invested €200 million ($211 million) in the team in June, together with RedBird Capital Partners and Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.
Other Otro investors in Alpine include Fifa World Cup-winning footballer Juan Mata, Liverpool player Trent Alexander-Arnold and former world heavyweight boxing champion and Olympic gold medallist Anthony Joshua, as well as Roger Ehrenberg, founder of Eberg Capital and investor in the Miami Marlins and Real Salt Lake.
“I am thrilled to lead an investor group and join forces with Patrick and the team at Otro Capital on this exciting venture with Alpine F1,” Kelce said.
“Our shared passion for excellence and innovation forms the cornerstone of this partnership. It’s about being able to contribute to a sport that demands precision, teamwork and relentless pursuit of success.
"I am looking forward to this new chapter and can’t wait to see what we achieve together.”
Otro said Kelce and the other investors would raise awareness about the team and bring in new fans, while supporting its work in media, sponsorship, ticketing, hospitality, commercial rights management, licensing and merchandising.
Kelce, 34, has a net worth of $40 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
The American football player earns $12.25 million a year, according to data from sport resource platform Spotrac. His salary is expected to rise to $13 million next year and $17.25 million in 2025.
Kelce recently began dating US pop singer and billionaire Taylor Swift. He has since bought a $6 million, 17,000-square-foot mansion in the Kansas City suburb of Leawood. The decision was a result of newfound public interest in his love life, TMZ reported, stating the footballer wanted more privacy than his $1 million Kansas City home offered.
He also owns a $350,000 condo in Orlando, Florida, according to the New York Post.
Kelce earns a reported $5 million a year from endorsements with brands including Nike, McDonald's and Papa John’s.

It is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, Sylvester Stallone said in the movie Rocky Balboa.
