Additionally, the wide receiver’s 2023 salary and net worth are nothing to sneeze at.
The Net Worth of Odell Beckham Jr.
Over the course of his NFL career, Beckham has amassed a substantial fortune, especially since signing a five-year, $95 million contract with the New York Giants in 2018 to become the highest-paid wide receiver in the league. The agreement was reached after an injury derailed his 2017 season, which had otherwise been a fantastic first three years of his career.

In 2017, Beckham also agreed to a lucrative shoe deal with Nike, which increased his overall wealth.
Only seven months after Beckham signed a contract with the Giants, who had selected him with a first-round choice in the 2014 NFL Draft, the Giants traded him to the Cleveland Browns. After an up-and-down relationship with the Browns, OBJ ultimately consented to a settlement for his release, but he still made plenty of money under his contract.

After that, Beckham signed with the Los Angeles Rams, although he never really got going with the team before missing the entire 2022 campaign due to an injury. After agreeing to a big contract this offseason with the Baltimore Ravens, he then went back to playing football.
The real net worth of Beckham is estimated to be between $40 million and $50 million by several websites; Forbes estimates it to be $26.5 million in 2019.
OBJ’s Compensation for the 2023 Season: Beckham’s $18 million, one-year contract with the Ravens is currently fully guaranteed for $15 million, with potential incentives providing the remaining $3 million.

Even with the $15 million base pay, Mike Evans, DK Metcalf, and A.J. Brown are proven NFL wide receivers who make less money, according to ESPN.
This deal also represents the most one-year wide receiver salary in Baltimore’s history, topping Anquan Boldin’s $10 million 2010 salary by $5 million.
“This was the guy that we felt could help take us to the next level,” said Eric DeCosta, general manager of the Ravens, at the time of the acquisition. “I have to admit, I was pretty sure this was the right guy for the team after sitting across from Odell for two minutes [during the annual league meeting] in Arizona.”
The move has had mixed results thus far, despite the fact that Beckham’s production this season has been considerably below his career-best level.
He has made 11 appearances (five starts) and has 31 catches on 57 targets for 505 yards and three touchdowns. He is currently the third-leading receiver for the Ravens on the season, behind only the excellent tight end Mark Andrews and the incredible rookie Zay Flowers.
