Kelce Brothers Strike Gold: “New Heights” Podcast Soars to Staggering Success
The dynamic duo of Travis and Jason Kelce, already household names for their illustrious NFL careers, are now dominating the podcast world with their wildly popular “New Heights” show. Launched at the outset of the 2022-23 NFL season on September 8, 2022, the podcast has not only become a significant income stream, complementing their athletic earnings and other business ventures, but has also shattered records.
The timing of the podcast’s debut was serendipitous, preceding their historic clash at Super Bowl LVII, where Jason, then 38, played for the Philadelphia Eagles and Travis, 36, for the Kansas City Chiefs, both vying for their second Super Bowl ring.
Now in its third year, “New Heights” has consistently drawn millions of listeners, securing its place as a top-tier podcast. This success culminated in a massive three-year, $100 million deal last year with Wondery, an Amazon subsidiary, granting the company exclusive control over the podcast’s advertising and distribution.
Taylor Swift’s Record-Breaking Cameo
The podcast’s meteoric rise recently reached new heights with an appearance by Travis Kelce’s fiancée, global superstar Taylor Swift. This particular episode proved to be a game-changer, pulling in an astounding 1.3 million views on its first day alone. The surge not only alleviated Jason Kelce’s initial concerns about the segment potentially backfiring but also earned the episode a Guinness World Record.
Reflecting on the overwhelming response, Jason told USA Today, “Taylor killed it. For her to trust us and to come on our show and release all that information to the world, to be as open as she was, the resounding sentiment from everybody was awesome to see.”
He humbly added, “Well, I don’t think Travis and I had much to do with that, but I’m just happy that it went well. More importantly, we’re happy that it went well, ’cause if it wouldn’t have worked out, we would have felt really bad.”
While Travis continues to dominate the field for the Chiefs, Jason is enjoying his retirement after concluding his NFL career with the Eagles’ 2023-24 campaign.
The Kelce Brothers’ Growing Fortunes
The “New Heights” phenomenon has significantly bolstered the brothers’ already impressive net worths. As of 2025, Travis Kelce is estimated to be worth around $90 million, a fortune amassed from his NFL earnings, the lucrative Wondery podcast deal, numerous endorsements, and strategic investments.
Jason Kelce’s net worth is projected to be $60 million as of 2025, built upon his distinguished NFL career with the Eagles, his integral role in the podcast, contributions to ESPN, and various successful off-field ventures. The Kelce brothers are not just winning on the field, but also in the ever-expanding world of media.
