Phoenix, Arizona: US Senator Mark Kelly seems to be deeply embedded in almost every news cycle of late. From soaring to the top of the Vice President shortlist to a sensational, if highly speculative, report that he was Barack Obama's choice to replace Joe Biden on the 2024 presidential ticket, rather than Kamala Harris. And while another shortlister JB Pritzker leads the pack in net worth, thanks to his Hyatt billions, Kelly isn't a slouch in the wallet either.

As of 2024, Kelly's net worth is estimated to be between $20 million and $57 million, depending on the source. This wealth includes a diverse portfolio of assets, such as real estate, investments in various stocks, and income from speaking engagements and book royalties.

Mark Kelly's name seems to be coming up on any number of 'short-lists'.

Specifically, his assets are valued at approximately $31 million, while his liabilities amount to around $6 million. His investments include holdings in companies like SpaceX and other tech firms, as well as government securities.

Kelly earns a salary of $187,000 per year as a US Senator. His financial success is also bolstered by his past career as a NASA astronaut and US Navy captain, along with various business ventures and board memberships.

Kelly also earned a handsome sum on the speaking circuit, although he has stepped away from that. According to his financial disclosures Kelly made $1.7 million from 62 public speaking engagements between 2018 and 2019.

Among those that paid Kelly for speeches were the American Society of Dermatological Surgery, which paid him $25,500, Chobani, the yogurt company, which paid him $58,250, and the Sexual Medicine Society of North America, which paid him $29,750.

Kelly later returned $55,250 that he made from a speech for Pink Tank, a Dubai-based consulting company, after it was made public that the event was sponsored by the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi.
