San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle has built a reputation on the field as one of the NFL’s most dominant tight ends. Off the field, though, what he’s building shows the unique way he’s chosen to enjoy his fortune.
Kittle’s recent appearance on Bussin’ With the Boys offered a rare look into the personal luxuries that matter most to him.
How George Kittle Has Spent His NFL Millions
Instead of flashy cars or exotic vacations, Kittle’s biggest investments have gone into his home.
“Anything on my property really is one of my biggest things,” he said, pointing to a deeper connection to space, solitude, and self-improvement.
Among his favorite purchases were a private football field, a personal workout facility, and a towering 50-foot American flagpole. That flagpole stands out.
“It’s right when you pull in, it’s just right next to the football field. So it’s the only thing you can f*****g see.”
But Kittle’s residential creativity doesn’t stop there. His next acquisition? An Airstream trailer, which he plans to park on the property as an additional space for hosting guests. The idea came from a neighbor’s barely used Airstream, which Kittle’s wife spotted.
“She was like, can we buy that? I was like, it’s really not that expensive either. So I was like, yeah, buy it. Throw it on the property,” he explained. The goal isn’t travel or camping, but curating another cozy nook: “Put some lights up. Now you have a date night.”
That blend of comfort and vision characterizes much of Kittle’s spending. It’s not about flash; it’s about functionality and family. He added that he already has a tiny house on another part of the property, helping create a personalized, versatile retreat.
How Much Does Kittle Earn Through His Current Contract?
Financially, Kittle’s choices come in the wake of his four-year, $76.4 million extension that made him the highest-paid tight end in NFL history. “When Tight End U started, I think the top of the market was 15 (million dollars), and now we’re almost at 20,” Kittle noted. “As a tight end and as a position that does everything… I think we should be making more money.”
Despite reaching age 32 and playing in a physically demanding position, Kittle thrives, recording over 1,100 receiving yards and eight touchdowns in 2024. With his contract solidifying his position as the top earner, he’s found a way to translate professional success into meaningful personal investments.
As roster changes continue around him and teammates come and go, Kittle remains a central figure in the 49ers’ identity, both on the field and in how he’s shaped his lifestyle. And if his property reflects his priorities, one thing is clear: he’s building a legacy on more than just stats.
