Paul Goldschmidt's Net Worth in 2022 (Estimate): $20 million

Paul Goldschmidt's net worth in 2022 is $20 million. This is according to numerous reputable outlets such as Celebrity Net Worth. 

Paul Goldschmidt was born in Wilmington, Delaware. He studied in The Woodlands High School, where he started his baseball career. As the team’s third baseman, Goldschmidt helped the team win a state championship.

After winning the state championship, the Los Angeles Dodgers selected Goldschmidt out of high school during the 2006 MLB Draft in the 49th round. However, instead of opting to sign with the Dodgers, he enrolled in Texas State University and played college baseball. 

Playing for Texas State, Goldschmidt made a name for himself. He carved his name in the Bobcats’ record books as the all-time leader in home runs and RBIs. As a result, the school eventually gave him the honor of retiring his jersey in 2015. 

In 2009, Goldschmidt was drafted by the Arizona Diamondbacks of the MLB Draft in the 8th round. He eventually signed a deal with the team which included a signing bonus of $95,000. Before he joined the Diamondbacks, Goldschmidt had stints in the minor leagues. His most noticeable stints came in the California League and Southern League, where he was named MVP for both. And in the process, Goldschmidt was also named the Arizona Diamondbacks Minor League Player of the Year twice. 

Goldschmidt made his MLB debut in the 2011 season. In 48 games, he tallied eight home runs, 26 RBIs, and a batting average of .250. After his rookie season, Goldschmidt signed a one year deal with Arizona, worth $482,000. 

The Texas State star registered a much improved season in 2012. However, it was in 2013 where he made a breakthrough. After Goldschmidt signed a five year extension worth $32 million, he repaid the organization by leading the MLB in home runs and RBIs with 36 and 125, respectively. Furthermore, Goldschmidt also won the Hank Aaron Award, Gold Glove Award, and the Silver Slugger Award. On top of these, he nearly won MVP but finished second in the voting race behind Andrew McCutchen. 

Until 2018, Goldschmidt stayed with the Diamondbacks. In those years, he racked up six All-Star appearances and won a string of Silver Slugger and Golden Glove Awards. In 2017, Goldschmidt also earned a gold medal for the USA during the World Baseball Classic. After the 2018 season, the Diamondbacks exercised their team option on Goldschmidt which was worth $14.5 million. 

Although the Diamondbacks exercised their team option on Goldschmidt, they would eventually trade him to the St. Louis Cardinals. In a blockbuster trade, the Diamondbacks sent Goldschmidt to St. Louis in exchange for Carson Kelly, Luke Weaver, and Andrew Young. At that time, while this trade didn’t sit well with MLB fans, there’s no doubt that Goldschmidt is making the most out of the opportunity. 

In March 2019, Goldschmidt inked a five year, $130 million extension with the Cardinals. After agreeing to a long term deal, Goldschmidt has been a reliable hitter for the Cardinals. In over three seasons with St. Louis thus far, Goldschmidt has become a fixture in the MVP race. And in the on-going 2022 season, he is putting together a season that will finally land him his first NL MVP award. Goldschmidt has already earned his seventh All-Star appearance. Moreover, he also currently leads the league in hits, batting average, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, and OPS. This would, obviously, add to Paul Goldschmidt's net worth in 2022.

Because Goldschmidt has a solid fan base due to his popularity in baseball, various brands have pitched in to have him as an endorser. However, Goldschmidt has been notorious for being selective about which brands he wants to partner with. So far, the Cardinals star has partnered with University of Phoenix, Phoenix Children’s Hospital, and Chef’s Cut Real Jerky. Apart from being an ambassador for Chef’s Cut Real Jerky, Goldschmidt has also picked up equity in the said company. 

With Goldschmidt having a career season, his baseball career is on the verge of reaching new heights. His career-earnings are certainly to rise over time, even if he eventually slows down as a player. Nevertheless, were you at all stunned by Paul Goldschmidt’s net worth in 2022?
