How Much Was The Famous Baseball Star Worth?

Baseball stars can make a lot (like a shocking and staggering amount) of money these days. Just take a look at outfielder Mike Trout who's worth $60 million and brings in about $35 million a year, according to Celebrity Net Worth. MLB player Bryce Harper's salary may be more in the $27 million range, but he's worth $70 million in total. However, neither of their fortunes can match the kind of funds that Alex Rodriguez has thanks to the money he made both during his playing days and after he retired which has left him with a net worth of $350 million.

As for Hank Aaron, he was considered to be "[o]ne of the sport's great stars despite playing for the small-market Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves throughout a major league career that spanned from 1954 to 1976," according to ESPN. Leaving behind a legacy that included impressive stats and the fact that he "broke Babe Ruth's hallowed home run mark less than a week into the 1974 season," he also "finished [his playing days] with 755 career home runs, a mark that stood as the major league record until Barry Bonds broke it in 2007."

While that kind of performance could have earned Aaron a massive amount of money if he was playing in the current MLB, he was still worth $25 million at the time of his death. That means that he was both a legend and a millionaire.
