While $4 million is a hefty salary, it's just a fraction of the annual pay of some of baseball's biggest earners. Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels has a 12-year, $426.5 million contract ($35.5 million annual average), and Mookie Betts of the Los Angeles Dodgers has a similar 12-year pact with a $365 million value ($30.4 million per year). Baseball contracts are fully guaranteed, meaning Trout and Betts will see every dollar.

With those kinds of salaries, it's no wonder there are more than dozen current and former MLB players who have accumulated net worths of more than $100 million. Read on to learn about 14 players who have hit that $100 million mark.
