How much do professional mascots make?

Professional mascots, on average, make $42,646 annually. Top earners can make around $76,000 per year. To be a top earner, you will need to work for a larger corporation. This generally comes from having gained experience. Working as a mascot in college is a great way to gain experience, although this is often exclusively a position for students.

Being a professional mascot is a difficult career to enter, as there is not a ton of turnover. This means that you may have difficulty working for one of those big corporations, but almost all professional sports teams have mascots, so if you live in a bigger city, you should have a few options.
