Travis and Jason Kelce are among the few elite brothers in the NFL, and just this week, they had another showdown after meeting in Week 11 of the current season.
Travis serves as a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, while Jason is a center for the Philadelphia Eagles.
All eyes were on the Kelces as it was their first meeting since the Chiefs and the Eagles figured in the 2023 Super Bowl, where the former came out triumphant.
The brothers are arguably the most popular NFL players today. Travis is probably more famous as he is known outside of the NFL conversation due to his romance with pop star Taylor Swift.
However, in terms of NFL salary, his brother Jason has him beat as the older Kelce gets what he deserves as one of the top centers in the league.
Jason Kelce's Net Worth in 2023 is better than Travis's.
Jason Kelce Net Worth: $40 million
Much of Jason's wealth comes from his NLF career that started in 2011.
His climb to the top was not that easy. The Eagles drafted him in 2011 as their 191st overall pick. Getting picked low in the draft has little to no assurance that one will have a long career.
Twelve years on and various challenges after, Jason is now the league's highest-paid center in 2023.
He currently earns $14.5 this season. That amount is a far cry from the $472,432 first earnings he made in 2011 as a rookie. His 2023 salary also surpassed by six folds the average earnings of a center set at $2.5 million, according to computations by Sport Rac.

His total earnings in 12 seasons currently stand at $81 million.
Aside from his day job, Jason Kelce's net worth in 2023 is supplemented by endorsements from top brands like Old Spice and 6 Shooter Energy Shot.
He and his brother also starred in a documentary from Amazon titled "Kelce," which became the streaming site's most-watched documentary ever in the U.S.
The Kelce brother's podcast "New Heights" is among the most popular on YouTube and other podcasting platforms.
Jason Kelce's Wealth
Jason's wealth is expected to rise this year, especially with his growing media mileage. He was recently named a finalist for the Sexiest Man Alive.
In the Kelce documentary, Jason revealed having contemplated retiring from the game. Deciding against it was a good decision as he is now the highest-paid center.
That contemplation shocked fans, but Jason thought about it for a long time. In one of his interviews, he said he was already preparing for a life post-NFL through business ventures.
"Your career has a finite shelf life and you're going to have to figure out what's next," Kelce said in May last year.
"Not just being sound financially, but also what are you aspiring to full-time and what is that going to look like?"
Jason Kelce is already engaging in real estate with rental properties in Cleveland. He is also into the cattle and beef industry after purchasing 11 cows in Missouri.
He is also among the investors of RealTruck, together with famous athletes like Dak Prescott, George Kittle, CJ McCollum, Dustin Brown, Byron Jones, and Beau Allen.
