Juan Soto is a Dominican pro baseball player. He is currently playing for the New York Yankees of MLB as an outfielder. Born on October 25, 1998, in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, Juan Soto left his home country to move to the United States to chase the MLB dream. It was 2015 when he was drafted by the Washington Nationals. Little did we know that he was something special.
At 19 years old, walking onto the big stage that is the big leagues had to be quite a moment. Soto did just that in 2018 but more importantly to this question, he dominated the big leagues to win Rookie of the Year and make every fan take notice. Batting skills are next level; he is capable of hitting home runs or getting on base and making it look easy.
Perhaps the greatest move Soto ever made, though, was going to San Diego in 2022. There, he remains in the game. What separates him is not statistics-perhaps impressive as they are-but cool by-example attitude. He stays cool under pressure and leads and always seems to draw out the best in his teammates.
Off the field, Soto would be described as very simple and having a very strong work ethic. He is not only a great player but also a role model for young athletes everywhere.
As of December 2024, Juan Soto is 26 years and 1 months old, his estimated net worth is $40 million, and he stands at a height of 6 feet 2 inches (188 cm or 1.88 m) tall.

Net worth 2024
$40 million
As of December 2024, it’s estimated that Julia Roberts has a net worth of about $40 million. He has numerous revenue streams, mainly due to his professional baseball career and endorsement agreements.
Income from MLB
He started his professional career back in 2015 with the Washington Nationals signing as an international free agent at a price of a whopping $1.5 million bonus. Soto easily justified his first contract by securing himself increasingly more lucrative contract deals each year-from about $578,000 in 2019 to an astonishing $17.1 million in 2022. Touted talent had not escaped attention too long, and in August 2022, he was traded to the San Diego Padres. There, he signed an extremely robust 1-year contract worth $23 million in January 2023-a feat that gave him a ladder step into league-rising status.
But Soto’s adventure did not end there. In December 2023, he made a huge leap to the New York Yankees signing one year for $31 million for his 2024 season. This besides making him level with the elite also is a free agent in December 2025 thereby opening more opportunities down the line.
Endorsements and Sponsorships
Along with his MLB income, Soto has many large endorsement deals; however, that is nothing compared to the amount of money the public loves to talk about concerning his salary. Being such a major figure in the game captures the attention of large businesses looking to ride the popularity wave attached to his name. Again, figures and who they are cannot be detailed, but this encompasses clothing, sporting goods, and even local businesses. It adds to the money he will earn but gives him greater exposure off the field.
Merchandising and Licensing
Soto also generates revenue from merchandise sales like jerseys, hats, and other branded equipment. The demand for merchandise in this line is very high since he is one of the team’s key players, thus adding to his total revenue significantly. He also generates additional income through licensing his name and image on various products.
Investments and Business Ventures
While Soto’s personal investments are privately held, most professional sports players make investments in real estate, startups, or any other business venture. His investments can help him earn passive income and further diversify his financial portfolio beyond the money he would make from baseball and his endorsement deals.
Other Income Streams
Appearance fees for functions, signing autographs, and attending baseball camps or clinics further contribute to Soto’s earnings. Such events not only offer him monetary rewards but also establish a bond with fans and the community.
Approximate Yearly Earnings
At a minimum, Juan Soto is going to take in over $25 million annually because of his MLB salary alone, and it would be doubled with the amounts he will receive in endorsement, merchandise sales, and other ventures. He will only get there if he has the right pull and smart investments, though.
