The 39-year-old Capitals forward has earned approximately $220 million throughout his career, making him one of the highest-paid players in NHL history.

Despite his impressive earnings, Ovechkin's financial success is limited compared to athletes in other sports due to the NHL's salary cap and lower overall salaries. He plans to return to the KHL's Dynamo Moscow before retirement, while continuing to manage his business ventures.
