There are few things Lamar Jackson can't do on a football field.
The Ravens' supernova has enjoyed a meteoric rise to stardom since being selected No. 32 overall in the 2018 NFL Draft. Once deemed a pure scrambler, Jackson has become one of the sport's finest arbalests, as dangerous with the ball in the air as he is when it's nestled into his gut.
Jackson's successes have paid off in a big way off the field. Baltimore's signal-caller is sitting on a fortune as a result of his gridiron gifts, inking eye-watering contracts with brands and even a larger deal with his employer.
So, what is Jackson's net worth? Here's what you need to know about the Ravens star's value.

Lamar Jackson net worth
Jackson is valued at $40 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Jackson derives nearly all of his value from his gridiron exploits, although he has also invested into various business holdings and notched a handful of high-profile endorsements over the years. That still leaves him well outside the top-50 richest NFL players, however, although that figure will continue to swell throughout his career.

Lamar Jackson NFL contract details
- Years: Five
- Value: $260 million
Jackson inked a five-year, $260 million extension with Baltimore in April 2023, ending a months-long stalemate that saw Jackson request a trade away from the organization.
Jackson's pursuit of a big-money deal proved especially curious. Despite his stature as one of the game's grandest talents, teams opted against queuing up to land his services. Jackson decided to negotiate on his own terms, spurning an agent. His decision was an inspired one — he became the league's highest-paid hurler overnight, displacing Jalen Hurts, who briefly held the title after landing a five-year, $255 million earlier in the offseason.
Jackson's contract has an average annual value (AAV) of $52 million, one million more than that of Hurts. $185 million of his contract is guaranteed, a better figure than Hurts ($179.3 million) but still trailing the $230 million Deshaun Watson somehow received when he signed with the Browns.
The deal includes an opt-out clause after the 2026 season. If Jackson were to exercise it, he could hit the free agency market in 2027 ahead of his age-31 year.
Here's a full breakdown of Jackson's big-money deal, as laid out by Spotrac.
Year | Base salary | Cap hit |
2023 | $7.5 million | $22.15 million |
2024 | $14.25 million | $32.4 million |
2025 | $20.25 million | $43.5 million |
2026 | $51.25 million | $74.5 million |
2027 | $51.25 milion | $74.5 million |

Lamar Jackson endorsements

- Oakley
- Nike
- New Era
- Bose

Lamar Jackson business ventures and philanthropy
What Jackson lacks in endorsements he makes up for in business ventures. He's launched a handful of businesses since entering the league, spearheaded by Era 8 Apparel, his clothing brand that sells hoodies and unisex cologne.
Jackson also started up Play Action Soul Food, an old-fashioned restaurant based in Jackson's hometown, Pompano Beach, Fla. The Ravens star is an author and publisher, releasing books through his LJ Writes brand. He also owns a music label (LJ Entertainment) and a non-profit that centers around providing children outreach via flag football (Forever Dreamers).
All of that is to say that Jackson has his finger in a lot of pies at the moment. It seems all or most are providing him with some revenue, although it's unclear how much.
