He reached three Stanley Cup finals in a row with three different teams and won the Cup three times with Chicago, in 2010, 2013 and 2015. He scored 525 goals and 1,134 points and was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2020.
Forbes Slovensko's 2026 list of the richest Slovaks puts his fortune at €140 million, the most of any former athlete, up from €120 million a year earlier. That is about $157 million at the October 23, 2026 exchange rate.
How he made his money
Hossa earned tens of millions of dollars in the NHL over two decades. His biggest deal was the 12-year, $63.3 million contract he signed with Chicago in 2009.
He did not just invest in shares and property. He owns Hossa Family, a Slovak producer and distributor of frozen food. Forbes Slovensko reports its sales grew 14 percent to €85 million last year and that it is back in profit, with about 230 employees.
Career at a glance
Hossa spent his first seven NHL seasons in Ottawa, then played for Atlanta before reaching back-to-back Stanley Cup finals with Pittsburgh in 2008 and Detroit in 2009, losing both. He finally won with Chicago in 2010 and added two more titles there.
He finished with 525 goals and 1,134 points in 1,309 regular-season games. A progressive skin condition ended his career in 2017; he formally retired in 2022.
About this estimate
Forbes Slovensko publishes its list of the richest Slovaks every October. For former athletes it says the estimate is based mainly on the net money they earned in their careers (for NHL players roughly half of their gross salary) plus conservative growth on those savings, and for those with companies, the value of their stakes.
The 2026 list, reported by SME Sportnet on October 8, 2026, included the same four former athletes as in 2025: Marián Hossa, Zdeno Chára, Marián Gáborík and Marek Hamšík, together worth €440 million, up from €410 million. We show each figure as published, in euros, with a rough dollar conversion.
