Brad attended Broken Arrow Senior High School, where he began his baseball career. For his good performances and his pitching talent, he was honored with a place in All-State selection as well as Frontier Conference’s Pitcher of the Year Award. His professional baseball career began when he was selected as pick No. 155 overall, in the fifth round of the 1996 Major League Baseball draft by the Arizona Diamondbacks. He then proceeded to play in the Arizona Summer League where he honed his skills through several clubs, such as South Bend Silver Hawks, High Desert Mavericks and El Paso Diablos. All these involvements provided the basis for Brad Penny’s current net worth.

In 1999 he was traded to the Florida Marlins, and in April 2000 made his MLB debut in a game against Colorado Rockies. Due to his good performances, he quickly earned his place in the starting rooster. In 2003, he massively helped the Marlins to get to the playoffs and later to win the World Series title, the second in the franchise’s history. This whole venture added a great sum to Brad Penny’s revenues, notably increasing his net worth.

In 2004, Penny transferred to the Los Angeles Dodgers with which he signed a three-year playing contract, worth $25 million in 2005. While being a member of the Dodgers, he was chosen for the Major League Baseball All-Star team two times consecutively, in seasons 2006 and 2007. In 2009, Penny was traded to Boston Red Sox with which he signed one-season deal worth over $5 million. However, after only several months within the franchise, he was traded again, this time to the San Francisco Giants, where he spent the rest of the 2009 season. It is certain that all these engagements helped Brad Penny to dramatically increase the total size of his wealth.

After playing for the St. Louis Cardinals in 2010, Brad transferred to Detroit Tigers for one year, signing a $3 million contract, before in 2012 taking a break from MLB and moving to Japan where he signed a one-year deal with Nippon Professional Baseball League’s Japanese Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks, worth $3 million. After only a couple of months, Brad returned to the states where he joined the San Francisco Giants again. This 22-games-venture was crowned with another World Series Championship title in 2012, and doubtlessly all these accomplishments increased Brad Penny’s wealth as well.

In January 2014, Penny signed a minor league contract with the Kansas City Royals, which was called off in March, and he then transferred to the Miami Marlins’ minor league team where he finished that season. In early 2015, he became a member of the Chicago White Sox, then in November of 2015 he was named a free agent, but in December joined Toronto Blue Jays, before in March 2016 officially announcing his retirement from professional baseball. All these undertakings made an impact on Brad Penny’s net worth.

When it comes to his personal life, between 2010 and 2011 Penny was engaged to professional ballroom dancer Karina Smirnoff, but since 2013, Brad has been married to Kaci Cook who is a former dancer for the Oklahoma City Thunder; they currently reside in Kansas, USA.
