7. Joey Votto – Net worth $110 million
Joey Votto made his debut with the Cincinnati Reds in 2007 and is a four-time MLB All-Star player.
Votto signed a massive 10-year $225 million extension with the Cincinnati Reds in 2012, and still had 2 years remaining on his previous contract (knocking the total up to $251.5 million), making this the longest active contract and the fifth largest in MLB history, so he was well on the way to being one of the richest baseball players in the world just a few years into his career.
Known for being a passionate player at times, and has been ejected five times during his career, once for throwing his helmet onto the floor in anger, arguing over strikes and being part of a brawl on the bench in a game against the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2015.
