Miami Marlins star Giancarlo Stanton has celebrated his new $A352 million contract in style - partying with a bevy of beauties and swigging high priced champagne.

Fresh from inking a record contract over 13-years that will see how earn more money than some nations' GDP, Stanton kicked up his heels at Miami nightclub DFR to party with club-goers.

And of course no celebration is complete without giant bottles of high-priced Moet and a bevy of beauties to enjoy the moment.

Stanton's new deal is the richest in North American sports history.

The pay day comes only two months after the Miami slugger suffered multiple facial fractures after being sickeningly struck by a 142km/h pitch.

The injury forced the 25-year-old to miss the final two-and-a-half weeks of the season.

It was a dark episode in an otherwise wonderful Major League Baseball season where Stanton finished runner-up to pitcher Clayton Kershaw for National League MVP honours with 37 homers and a career-high 105 runs batted in.

In 634 career games, Stanton has 154 homers and 399 RBI with a career .271 batting average.

He made his major league debut with the Marlins in 2010.
