According to Celebrity Net Worth, Mike Trout's net worth can be estimated to be around a whopping $60 million. Much of the 29-year-old's net worth can be attributed to his earnings as a baseball player for the Los Angeles Angels. The MLB star has featured in ads for Subway and became a partner and investor for sports drink BodyArmor SuperDrink. The report further states that between June 2017 and June 2018, Mike Trout made $27 million from salary and endorsements.

In March 2019, Trout had then signed the largest contract in professional sports history, worth $426.5 million, which was broken by Patrick Mahomes' contract extension by the Chiefs. Nonetheless, the 29-year-old's deal makes it the 2nd richest contract in the history of North American sports and 3rd in professional sports in general and includes a $20 million signing bonus. Trout was due to be a free agent following the 2020 season, but the Angels paid heavily to keep the star outfielder in the mix. The contract sees him earn nearly $36 million a year, topping Zack Greinke's previous record average of $34.4 million with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
