Tom Brady's Net Worth and Businesses (2024)

Football is back, and it's the first season in decades without star NFL quarterback Tom Brady, who retired earlier this year after 23 years on the field. While there was speculation that Brady might fill in for Aaron Rodgers after he tore his Achilles tendon during his first game with the New York Jets, Brady quickly put those rumors to rest.

Brady might have retired his jersey for good, but the seven-time Super Bowl champion is plenty busy off the field. Brady has a net worth of $300 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, thanks to his decades-long career as a star quarterback in the NFL, and a series of lucrative businesses and investments in sports teams. Here's how Brady made his millions.

NFL

Brady, who is widely considered one of the greatest football players of all time, is estimated to have earned about $450 million over his 23-year career, according to Forbes. In 2022, the 45-year-old football player topped Forbes' list of the highest-paid NFL players, earning $30 million on the field, and $45 million off of it from endorsem*nt deals and business ventures.

Brady played 20 seasons as the quarterback for the New England Patriots and took the team to the Super Bowl nine times, winning six of them. Brady is estimated to have earned $235 million in salary and bonuses from his years with the Patriots, for a total of $350 million during his years in New England, according to Forbes.

In 2020, the then-43-year-old quarterback left the Patriots and joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on a two-year contract worth $50 million, and an additional $15 million in 2022.

Brady has been the pitchman in lucrative endorsem*nt deals for companies such as Subway, Under Armour, and Hertz, who extended their contract with him through 2024.

Fox Sports Contract

Fans may not see Brady on the field anymore, but they can still catch him in the commentator's booth. In 2022, Brady signed a 10-year $375 million contract with Fox Sports to be the network's main NFL analyst starting in 2024.

Investments and Businesses

Brady is also a savvy investor and entrepreneur who owns parts of several sports teams and has co-founded businesses, which have all contributed to his millions.

Sports Investments

In May 2023, Brady purchased a minority stake in the Las Vegas Raiders, though his stake in the football team is not yet finalized, according to the NFL. Brady has invested in other Vegas sports teams as well. In March 2023, the former football player became a part owner of the WNBA team, Las Vegas Aces. Brady is also a founding investor in the Major League pickleball team, the Las Vegas Night Owls, along with tennis star Kim Clijsters.

In August 2023, Brady became a minority owner of the English soccer team Birmingham City FC. Brady will serve as the Chairman of the Advisory Board, according to a release by the team.

Businesses

Brady has a sports nutrition and supplements brand, TB12, a sportswear line called Brady, and two production companies—Religion of Sports and 199 Productions, which he founded with former football player Michael Strahan. The production company was behind the 2023 film, 80 for Brady, starring Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno, and Lily Tomlin among others.

Brady also co-founded fan engagement NFT company, Autograph, which raised $170 million in a funding round in 2022.

In 2022, Brady was among the celebrities named in a class action lawsuit alleging they endorsed the sale of unregistered securities by failed cryptocurrency exchange FTX. Brady and his ex-wife Gisele Bundchen owned 0.15% and 0.09% of FTX in June 2021, respectively, according to Forbes.
