Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was named as one of the victims of convicted ponzi schemer Siddharth Jawahar, multiple outlets reported on Wednesday, one day after the fraudster was sentenced to 11 years in prison and ordered to pay back $31.3 million to his victims.

Prosecutors alleged Jawahar allocated 99% of the funds sent to his investment firm into a single stock, Philip Morris Pakistan, then lied to investors claiming they were still making profits when the company’s stock went down.

Jawahar pleaded guilty to three counts of wire fraud related to the scheme in January, which the Justice Department said cost investors over $25 million.

Between 2016 and 2023, Jawahar brought in about $35 million from investors for his firm Swiftarc Capital, according to the Justice Department , but only invested about $10 million of the funds.

Jawahar used money from new clients to fund an “extravagant lifestyle,” according to prosecutors, which included flights on private jets, apartments in Austin, Texas, and New York City, and “spending sprees” at clothing stores and restaurants.

Kelce was named as one of the victims at a hearing on Tuesday, multiple outlets reported, but the exact amount of money Kelce lost in the scheme was not immediately disclosed.

Kelce has previously made past lists for highest-paid athletes in the NFL, but did not crack the top 10 in 2026. In July, he married billionaire pop star Taylor Swift , who has an estimated net worth of $2 billion. Forbes previously estimated their wedding, which was held at Madison Square Garden, cost upwards of $20 million .

Kelce, 36, is widely considered one of the best tight ends in NFL history, but his name recognition exploded outside of football starting in 2023, when it was initially rumored he and Swift were dating before her attendance at Chiefs games that season effectively confirmed observers’ suspicions. Kelce has spent his entire NFL career in Kansas City since the Chiefs drafted him in 2013, and has been an integral part of three Super Bowl-winning Chiefs teams, a record of achievement that has cemented the Chiefs as one of the most successful NFL teams in recent times.
