Alex Ovechkin’s net worth: The NHL's top goal-scorer's fortune in 2025
The Washington Capitals’ star winger is also the highest-paid player in hockey history, but his earnings don’t end on the ice. Here's Ovechkin is worth in 20
One of the greatest hockey players to ever lace up skates (his are waxed and a signature yellow in color), Alex Ovechkin became the leading goal scorer in NHL history on April 6, 2025, when he surpassed Wayne Gretzky’s previous record of 894 goals, a feat everyone thought impossible, including Ovechkin himself.
But even in hockey’s current era of low-scoring, defensive play, Ovi has persistently terrorized goaltenders with his perfect aim and powerful shot, maintaining his dominance for 20 seasons with the Washington Capitals — all while minting a seriously impressive net worth.
With 42 goals this season — and 895 career goals and counting — he has one season left on his contract with the Caps.
