Bryce Harper's value extends far beyond his amazing statistics.
Upon signing a monster $330 million contract for 13 years with the Philadelphia Phillies in 2019, Harper set the record for jersey sales within 24 hours. He leads the sport in money generated by endorsements with $6.5 million, a large portion coming from a lucrative shoe deal with UnderArmour. Bryce Harper is also a partner in Blind Barber, a trendy franchise that offers cocktails with haircuts. Harper has been able to accomplish all of this before turning 30-years-old.
In terms of his worth on the baseball field, Fangraphs reports that Bryce Harper has averaged 4.3 Wins Above Replacement (WAR) for his team, and projects him to follow up his 2021 Most Valuable Player campaign with 5 WAR in 2022.

Harper is a player who has influence and power, using it to help make his ballclub and his league better. He is entrepreneurial and constantly hungry to climb to even higher achievements.
It is with that hunger, drive, and entrepreneurial spirit, that he was able to convince Phillies owner John Middleton to exceed the luxury tax in pursuit of a roster capable of winning a World Series title. If he can accomplish that, he'll surely pass Miguel Cabrera in net-worth. Who knows, he may even pass Alex Rodriguez, who stands at the top of the mountain with $350 million in net worth.
