Giancarlo Stanton Net Worth and Salary: Giancarlo Stanton is an American professional baseball player who has a net worth of $40 million. Giancarlo Stanton was born in Panorama, California in November 1989. He is a right fielder who excels at right hits and right throws. He was a triathlete in high school and earned a scholarship to play for USC before being selected No. 76 by the Florida Marlins in the 2007 Major League Baseball draft. Before the 2012 season, Giancarlo’s name was Mike Stanton. Stanton made his major league debut for the Marlins in June 2010 and has played for Miami his entire career. He was a two-time MLB All-Star in 2012 and 2014. In his first five seasons, Giancarlo hit 150 home runs with nearly 400 RBIs. In April 2014, he beat the majors against the Seattle Mariners. In September 2014, Stanton was hit in the face by Mike Firth of the Milwaukee Brewers. Stanton was carried off the field on a stretcher with damaged teeth and multiple fractures and lacerations to his face. In September 2014, the Marlins announced he would not play for the remainder of the season.
On November 13, 2014, it was revealed that Giancarlo Stanton had signed a 13-year contract with the Miami Marlins for a record $325 million. It was the largest contract in American sports history at the time. Starting with the 2015 season, Giancarlo will earn an average of $25 million a year, or about $155,000 per game. If he averaged 3 at-bats per game, that would be $50,000 per bat. The landmark deal comes with a no-trade clause, but Giancarlo could opt out after six years (but why would he??). The 13-year, $325 million deal tops previous record holder Miguel Cabrera’s 10-year, $292 million deal.
