The National Football League’s all-time greatest quarterback Tom Brady is reportedly retiring after 22 seasons and seven Super Bowl wins but ends his football career far from the highest-paid player in the league.
Brady, who would finish his final season with a playoff loss Sunday versus the Los Angeles Rams, was only the 17th highest-paid player in the NFL during the 2021 season, tied with Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr and Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett at $25 million each. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is the league’s high-paid player, earning $45 million for the 2021 season.
It’s estimated that Tom Brady has a net worth of $250 million, according to networthwire.com. If you add his wife Gisele Bundchen’s $400 million net worth into the calculation, the couple’s number is closer to $650 million.
