Who is Derek Jeter?

He is a former professional baseball player, businessman, and baseball executive, popularly addressed as “The Captain.” Jeter played his entire 20-year career with the New York Yankees from 1995 to 2014-it was one hell of an era.

Derek Jeter Career
Jeter’s baseball career is the stuff of dreams-if your dreams feature 14 All-Star appearances, five World Series championships and breaking Lou Gehrig’s record for most hits in Yankee history (sorry, Lou!). Having won the AL Rookie of the Year in 1996, Jeter captained the Yankees from the year 2003 to his retirement in 2014. Dubbed “Captain Clutch” due to reputations of clutch postseason performances, after his retirement, Jeter traded bat for suit, becoming the Miami Marlins CEO back in 2017 until 2022.
Derek Jeter Net Worth
As of 2024, Jeter’s estimated net worth is sitting pretty at a cool $200 million. Over the course of his baseball career, he pocketed an outright $266 million in salary alone and an additional $150 million by way of endorsement deals.

An investor and the CEO of the Marlins, he made an excellent deal—he bought 4% stake in the team for $25 million and sold it for $44.8 million in 2022. Not bad for a guy who spent most of his career running bases!
