Is there anything that Derek Jeter can’t do? We doubt it. The baseball shortstop played for the New York Yankees. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame as soon as he became eligible for it. In 2014, he decided that it was time to retire. We are glad that the team paid him $269 million for his tenure of two decades. A lot of companies were eager to score an endorsement deal with him. Among other things, he worked with Visa, Discover Card, Visa, Gillette, and Nike. He currently has a net worth of $185 million.

“Today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the Earth,” the New York Yankees star once said. In a way, he was correct. He made sure to give it his all when it comes to his career. Sadly, he had no choice but to retire in 1939 due to his neuromuscular illness. Thanks to his short career and short life, he did not get to explore his full potential. However, he did sign a contract with Camel Cigarettes. His career earnings and net worth are both $3 million. He passed away at the tender age of 37.
