In addition to having to put up with jokes about his worldwide celebrity girlfriend Taylor Swift “putting him on the map,” Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce now appears to be in competition with her kitties for notoriety.
Even though Kelce has won two Super Bowls, his wealth is apparently nothing compared to the pop star’s pets.
According to AllAboutCats.com, Swift’s 2014 adoption of Olivia Benson, her cat, comes in third place on the Forbes-style Ultimate Pet Rich list.
Olivia’s projected net worth, according to the website that determines pet net worths based on a fake ability to make money via Instagram accounts, is $97 million.
For that reason, the cat—named for the ‘Law & Order: SVU’ character played by Mariska Hargitay—is more valuable than Swift’s close friend.

In contrast, Kelce’s projected net worth for 2024 is $40 million. Though nonetheless impressive, it number leaves him $57 million short of Olivia.
A-List pair Kelce and Taylor Swift have been dating since the summer of 2023, and during that time, Kelce’s celebrity profile reached breathtaking heights.
However, he already enjoyed a degree of notoriety that had been meticulously cultivated by his managers, André and Aaron Eanes, both on and off the football field.
In 2023, Kelce was able to secure sponsorships from Pfizer and Experian, as well as a Saturday Night Live hosting gig.
Kelce submitted five trademark applications for phrases, including his own name, back in October.
The NFL athlete is apparently attempting to copyright not just his name but also his Instagram handle, “Killlatrav,” his slogan, “Alright Nah,” which alludes to his jersey number, “Flight 87,” and “Kelce’s Krunch.”
According to the documents, Kelce intends to use the trademarks for a number of products, such as clothes, cereal, bobbleheads, posters, pins, and more.
Running A&A Management and having recruited Kelce as their second client, the Eanes brothers had hoped to make the tight end as well-known as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, but they now fear his notoriety may have gone too far, they told the New York Times.
