Bobby Bonilla Contract Details ⏬👇
Bobby Bonilla was a professional baseball player who signed a contract with the New York Mets in 1990. The contract was for twenty years and was worth $29,000,000.00.
Bonilla’s contract had a salary escalator of one percent per year that would increase his salary by 2% each season until the end of the deal in 2035. Bonilla had the option to extend his contract with the Mets until 2036 by exercising this provision in 1990, but he declined to do so.
Bonilla’s annual salary started at $1,000,000 and increased to $5,000,000 in 1996. He earned $1 million per year from 1997 through 1999; $7 million in 2000; $8 million from 2001 through 2004; $9 million from 2005 through 2008; $10 million from 2009 through 2011; and $500,000 per year from 2013 through 2015. His salary will remain at $500,000 until 2035 when it will increase by 5% annually until reaching its final value of $29 million (or about half of what Bonilla would have made if he’d exercised his option).
