Who really wins the battle for the biggest bank account in hockey? As of 2026, the combined net worth of Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews is estimated to be between $60 million and $100 million. McDavid, the Edmonton Oilers captain, recently signed a two-year extension worth $25 million, choosing to take a lower salary than expected to help his team build a championship roster. Meanwhile, the Toronto Maple Leafs’ Auston Matthews is currently playing under a record-breaking four-year, $53 million deal, which features a league-high $13.25 million annual cap hit and massive signing bonuses.
The money isn’t just coming from the ice, though. Both captains have become global marketing icons, pulling in millions from high-profile endorsements with brands like Rogers, BetMGM, and Alo Yoga. While McDavid has already crossed over $100 million in career on-ice earnings, Matthews is quickly catching up with a contract structure that prioritizes upfront cash. Whether they’re breaking records or signing new sponsorship deals, these two superstars are proving that being the best in the NHL pays off—both in trophies and in the bank.
