In his illustrious career, Ekeler has made approximately $31,886,224 as a seven-year veteran, according to Spotrac.
Even with that type of cash, Austin Ekeler has never been a person who simply wastes his money.

Washington Commanders Activate Austin Ekeler From IR Just Ahead of Playoffs
The Washington Commanders got a huge boost before the start of the playoffs after they activated running back Austin Ekeler off injured reserve.
Ekeler played sparingly in the final game of the season in Week 18. He had three rushing attempts for 12 yards.
With the running game struggling to remain a key part of the offensive success in Washington, having Ekeler back just before their wild-card matchup should help things along.
For Austin Ekeler, he’s coming back after suffering a concussion at the end of the last time Washington faced the Cowboys.
With him not being around, the team was forced to try different combinations of using running backs Brian Robinson Jr., Jeremy McNichols, and Chris Rodriguez Jr.
