Mark Giordano’s net worth is approximately $1.5 Million. On May 22, 2022, Giordano signed a 2-year, $1.6 million contract extension with the Maple Leafs, worth $800,000 annually. The deal was seen by analysts as a significant hometown discount for the cap-strapped club. It was several million dollars less than what Giordano would likely fetch in the summer offseason from competing teams. Giordano and the Maple Leafs had originally agreed in principle to a $1 million annual salary. But Giordano approached the club and asked the team to sign him to $800,000 annually.
