How rich is Matt Holliday? As of mid-2017, sources estimate a net worth that is at $60 million, mostly earned through a successful career in professional baseball which began in the late-1990s. Some of the other teams he has played with include the Colorado Rockies, Oakland Athletics, and St. Louis Cardinals, with whom he won a World Series in 2011.

Matt showed talents in basketball, football and baseball when he was younger, and often trained at Oklahoma State University (OSU) since his father worked there as a coach. He attended Stillwater High School, playing football and baseball there, earning a Gatorade Player of the Year Award in both sports. In 1997, he competed to be part of the USA Junior National Team. He was heavily considered to become part of various college football teams, but Matt opted to pursue professional baseball.

Holliday joined the 1998 MLB Draft and was selected by the Rockies as third baseman in the seventh round. In the minors, he joined the Arizona League as part of the Rockies affiliate. He performed well, and the following year played for the Asheville Tourists. In 2000, he played for Salem, but then underwent elbow surgery. Two years later, he was promoted to the AA Southern League Carolina Mudcats; he became the mid-season All- Star and continued to improve his skills.
