1. Alex Rodriguez – Net worth $300 million
Alex Rodriguez a.k.a “A-Rod” is the New York Yankees’ designated hitter and is widely considered to be one of the greatest baseball players in the world. He’s also quite clearly one of the richest baseball players in the world too.
Debuting aged 18 in the 1993 MLB draft, he was the first overall selection and went on to play with the Seattle Mariners. He signed a 10-year $252 million contract with the Texas Rangers in 2000 though, a figure which made him the richest baseball player in history, and certainly proved his worth in any team that could afford him.
Rodriguez has dated both Kate Hudson and Cameron Diaz, as well as a WWE Diva. He also donated $3.9 million to the University of Miami so they could revamp their baseball stadium. Rodriguez can also credit his massive net worth to doing commercials for Pepsi and a Guitar Hero game.
