Beltrán's primary source of income was his lucrative career in Major League Baseball. Throughout his nearly two-decade-long career from 1998 to 2017, he earned a significant fortune through his salary, with a peak earning of $19.4 million during the 2009-2010 season with the New York Mets.

After making his debut in 1998 with the Kansas City Royals, Beltrán swiftly hit prominence, earning the American League Rookie of the Year award in 1999. During his time with the New York Mets, he achieved a Mets single-season record for home runs in 2006 and earned both Silver Slugger and Gold Glove awards.

  • After being traded to the St. Louis Cardinals, he became the first MLB switch-hitter to reach 300 stolen bases and 300 home runs. In 2013, he signed a three-year, $45 million deal with the New York Yankees, but was then traded to the Texas Rangers, where he continued to excel with a .295 average, 29 home runs, and 93 RBIs.

    Returning to the Astros, he played a crucial role in their successful season, helping them win the World Series, to emerge as a champion himself. However, his involvement in a sign-stealing scandal came to light three years later, followed by a public denial, subsequent confirmation, and an apology before announcing his retirement in 2017.
