Jaromír Jágr's Popularity over time
Height, Weight & Measurements
Jaromír Jágr stands at an impressive height of 6 feet 3 inches (1.91 m) and weighs approximately 240 pounds (109 kg). Throughout his career, he has maintained a robust physique, essential for the demands of professional ice hockey. His stature and agility on the ice have been pivotal to his success and longevity in a highly competitive sport.
After leading the NHL in points and goals for most of the 2005–06 season, Jágr was surpassed by the San Jose Sharks' duo of Joe Thornton (125 points) and Jonathan Cheechoo (56 goals), losing both the Art Ross and Maurice Richard trophies in the final week of the season.
Jágr finished with 123 points, 54 goals, and 24 power-play goals, second in the NHL in all three categories. He also finished third in the NHL in both assists (69) and plus-minus (+34). However, just as in Washington, playoff success was not to be for Jágr, whose Rangers were swept in four games by New Jersey.
In the series, he suffered a dislocated shoulder in the third period of the first game, which kept him from playing at his top form for the rest of the series. Jágr had surgery on the shoulder after the Rangers were eliminated from the playoffs.
Family, Dating & Relationship Status
Currently, there is limited public information regarding Jaromír Jágr's relationship status in 2025. In the past, he has been known to date several high-profile individuals, but it appears that he is focused on his career and personal growth at this stage. Historically, Jágr has kept his personal life relatively private, which adds an air of mystery to his relationships.
In 2000–01, Jágr was struggling to find his scoring touch and faced criticisms about his relationship with Penguins head coach Ivan Hlinka. With the return of Mario Lemieux from retirement, the Penguins had two superstars, but friction developed between the two; Jágr held the captaincy but many fans regarded Lemieux as the talisman of the team.
Additionally, the struggling, medium-market Penguins could, with Lemieux back, no longer hope to afford Jágr's high salary. Thus, on 11 July 2001, the organization traded him, along with František Kučera, to the Washington Capitals in exchange for Kris Beech, Michal Sivek and Ross Lupaschuk.
Net Worth and Salary
Jaromír Jágr is considered one of the wealthiest ice hockey players of all time. As of 2025, his estimated net worth is around $70 million. His earnings have been accrued from his extensive career in the NHL, sponsorships, and various business ventures. Despite retiring from professional play, he continues to earn from his investments and brand endorsements, contributing to his impressive financial portfolio.
On 23 January 2004, Jágr was eventually traded to the New York Rangers in exchange for Anson Carter and an agreement that Washington would pay approximately $4 million per year of Jágr's salary. Jágr also agreed to defer (with interest) $1 million per year for the remainder of his contract to allow the trade to go through.
Career, Business and Investments
Jágr's professional ice hockey career began in the early 1990s, and he quickly rose to fame with the Pittsburgh Penguins, winning two Stanley Cups and numerous awards, including the Hart Trophy. Even in 2025, he remains involved in the sport, playing for Kladno in the Czech Republic, a team he owns. Apart from his hockey career, Jágr has diversified his portfolio through various business ventures, including a successful line of sports equipment and local investments in enterprises that promote sporting activities.
After leaving the Rangers in 2008, he played three seasons in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) with Avangard Omsk. He returned to the NHL in 2011 with the Flyers and remained in the league for seven more years before being assigned by the Flames in 2018 to HC Kladno.
Having played in 37 professional seasons (as of 2024) and over 2,000 professional games, Jágr has had the longest playing career in professional ice hockey history. He is the most productive European player who has ever played in the NHL and is widely regarded as one of the greatest players ever.

In 2017 on Twitter, as a free agent, Jágr tweeted: "FA 1994 - all GMs called, FA 2017- 0 calls" accompanied by a trophy emoji and a smiley emoji and pictures taken in 1994 and 2017. In the 1994 picture, a smiling Jágr is on the phone with an unspecified general manager. In the 2017 picture, he looks at his mobile phone with a puzzled expression.
The Panthers organization announced shortly after that they would not offer Jágr a new contract.
