Derek Jeter – $185 Million  –  Media

Derek Jeter is the founding publisher of a new website called The Players’ Tribune. The website will be an outlet for different athletes to speak their minds. He thinks that the fans deserve to know the athletes more. Derek made $400 million when he was still playing baseball. He also gave credit to his endorsement deals with Nike, Gatorade, and Movado which contributed to his fortune. Together with Simon & Schuster, he launched Jeter Publishing with its first book called The Contract.

Derek truly loves baseball, the sport that supported him and gave him the knowledge he needs to become an entrepreneur. He also became a part-owner and chief executive of the Miami Marlins, the team that Derek helped to rebuild, allowing them to land their first playoff spot in 17 years. He is happy to be the CEO of the Miami Marlins, but his website, The Players’ Tribune is his main business focus.
