Joe Pepitone had an estimated net worth of $5 million. This is from his career as a professional baseball player.
Pepitone played in Major League Baseball for the New York Yankees, Houston Astros, Chicago Cubs and Atlanta Braves from 1963 to 1973 and for the Yakult Atoms of Nippon Professional Baseball in 1974.
Pepitone was a three-time MBL All-Star and won three Gold Glove Awards.
After the 1969 season, despite winning his third Gold Glove Award, the Yankees traded Pepitone to the Houston Astros for Curt Blefary.
Unhappy with how the Astros treated him, he threatened to retire in July 1970. The Astros sold Pepitone to the Chicago Cubs on waiver a week later.
Pepitone also engaged in other activities that added to his net worth.
