how much does a mlb mascot make
Although it isn't the norm, some of the highest-paid professional mascots earn a six-figure salary. According to The Richest, the top 10 best-paid Major League Baseball mascots of 2013 made between $125 and $600 per hour. The Mariner Moose, Mr. Met and Phillie Phanatic were the highest paid with each making $600 or more per hour for games and public events. NBA mascots are paid much better than MLB mascots, according to an article published in CNN Money in 2005.
According to the Chicago Tribune, professional mascots are paid about $25,000 per year as of 2014; in 2007, Upstart Business Journal reported a base pay of $35,000 to $55,000 per year for big-league mascots. Sources report a wide range of salaries for mascots.
