Tom Brady Net Worth

What is Tom Brady's Net Worth?

Tom Brady is an American retired professional football quarterback, spokesman, and entrepreneur who has a net worth of $300 million. That is a separate net worth from his former wife, supermodel Gisele Bundchen, who has a $400 million fortune on her own. When they were married, Tom and Gisele had a combined net worth of $650 million.

Tom Brady's NFL career stands as arguably the most decorated in league history. Drafted in 2000 by the New England Patriots as the 199th overall pick in the sixth round, Brady transformed from an overlooked prospect into the most successful quarterback of all time.

Brady spent 20 seasons with the Patriots (2000-2019), leading them to six Super Bowl championships. He then joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020, where he won his seventh Super Bowl in his first season with the team, before retiring after the 2022 season at age 45.

His individual accolades are unparalleled: five Super Bowl MVP awards, three NFL MVP awards, 15 Pro Bowl selections, and numerous NFL records, including most touchdown passes, most passing yards, and most regular season and playoff wins by a quarterback.

What distinguished Brady was his exceptional longevity, playing 23 seasons and remaining elite well into his 40s. His football IQ, clutch performances, and ability to elevate teammates' play made him renowned for his leadership and competitive drive.

Beyond statistics, Brady's career is marked by iconic moments: the "Tuck Rule" game that launched the Patriots dynasty, multiple Super Bowl comebacks, including erasing a 28-3 deficit against Atlanta in Super Bowl LI, and his final championship with Tampa Bay during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Following retirement, Brady has transitioned to broadcasting, signing a lucrative deal with Fox Sports while also focusing on his business ventures, including his TB12 wellness brand and clothing line.

With seven championships across two franchises and unmatched individual achievements, Brady's legacy as the greatest quarterback—and possibly the greatest player—in NFL history is firmly established.

Early Life

Tom Brady was born on August 3rd, 1977, in San Mateo, California, to a family of sports fanatics. He is the only son and fourth child of Galynn and Thomas Brady. He has three older sisters: Nancy, Julie, and Maureen. He was raised Catholic. Growing up, he attended San Francisco 49ers games with his family. As a child, he idolized Joe Montana. He grew up a fan of the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics. He went to football camp as a kid at the College of San Mateo, where future NFL quarterback Tony Graziani was his camp counselor and taught him how to throw the football.

Brady graduated from San Mateo's Junipero Serra High School in 1995, where he played football, baseball, and basketball. He became the starting quarterback of his high school team during his junior year. During his senior year, he made highlight tapes and sent them to colleges they wanted to attend. Back in the mid-1990s, the college recruiting of athletes was very different. If Brady were graduating from high school today, he would be considered a four-star recruit. These rankings were not widely used back in 1995. Brady narrowed his list of colleges down to Cal, UCLA, USC, Michigan, and Illinois. Brady was also drafted by the Montreal Expos in the 18th round of the 1995 MLB Draft. Brady signed to play college football at the University of Michigan.

In college, Brady was the backup quarterback (behind future NFL QB Brian Griese) for the first two years. Brady struggled to get playing time. He ended up starting every game of the 1998 and 1999 seasons. During his first full year as a starter, he set new Wolverine records for most pass attempts and completions in a season. Michigan won 20 of the 25 games Brady started. He had an impressive college career, but he still was not an early draft pick. Brady was drafted with the 199th pick in the sixth round of the 2000 draft by the New England Patriots.

NFL Career

Tom Brady is widely regarded as the greatest quarterback in NFL history—and perhaps the greatest player the league has ever seen. Famously selected 199th overall in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft, Brady is considered the biggest "steal" in draft history. He became the New England Patriots' starting quarterback during his second season, taking over after an injury to Drew Bledsoe, and went on to spend 20 seasons with the franchise, the most seasons by a quarterback with a single team.

Brady won a Super Bowl in his first season as a starter—one of only two quarterbacks in history to do so—and ultimately led the Patriots to six Super Bowl victories and nine Super Bowl appearances. He holds the NFL record for most division titles by a quarterback (17), and during his time in New England, he never had a losing season as a starter. Brady also led the Patriots to an unprecedented eight consecutive AFC Championship Games between 2011 and 2018, and 13 total in his career.

Brady's 30–11 postseason record remains the best in league history, and he holds NFL records for most career playoff wins, Super Bowl MVPs (5), and Super Bowl appearances (10). He was selected to 15 Pro Bowls, another all-time record for a quarterback, and was named NFL MVP three times (2007, 2010, and 2017).

In 2016, Brady was suspended for the first four games of the season due to his alleged involvement in the "Deflategate" scandal, which accused the Patriots of using underinflated footballs during the 2014 AFC Championship Game. Despite the controversy, he returned to lead the Patriots to victories in Super Bowl LI and Super Bowl LIII in the following seasons.

In March 2020, Brady shocked the sports world by announcing he was leaving the Patriots and signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. While in Tampa, he reportedly rented a waterfront mansion owned by Derek Jeter for $70,000 per month. In his first season with the Bucs, Brady led the team to a dominant win in Super Bowl LV, defeating the Kansas City Chiefs 31-9 and earning his seventh Super Bowl ring—more than any single NFL franchise.

Brady announced his retirement for the first time in February 2022, only to return just 40 days later for one final season. He officially retired for good in February 2023 at age 45, finishing with the most career wins (251), passing yards (89,214), touchdown passes (649), playoff wins (35), and Super Bowl rings (7) in NFL history.

NFL Career Earnings

Over the course of his 23-season NFL career, Brady earned a staggering $333 million in salary alone, and more than $140 million from endorsements, bringing his total career earnings to over $473 million.

New England Patriots: 2000–2019

Brady spent the first 20 seasons of his career with the New England Patriots, and while he was never the league's highest-paid quarterback during that time, he consistently structured team-friendly deals to help the Patriots build championship rosters around him. Between 2000 and 2019, Brady earned approximately $230 million in salary from the Patriots.

Some of his notable contracts in New England included:

• A four-year, $29.6 million extension in 2002 after winning his first Super Bowl
• A six-year, $60 million deal in 2005
• A four-year, $72 million contract extension in 2010, which made him the NFL's highest-paid player at the time
• A two-year, $30 million extension in 2013
• And a two-year, $41 million extension in 2016

Despite those numbers, Brady often took less than market value, deferring money or restructuring deals to allow the Patriots more flexibility under the salary cap. His willingness to do so became part of his legacy as a team-first player.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: 2020–2022

In March 2020, Brady signed a two-year, $50 million fully guaranteed contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with potential incentives worth up to $59 million. After leading the Bucs to a Super Bowl win in his first season, he signed a one-year extension worth up to $25 million to keep him with the team through the 2022 season.

In his three seasons in Tampa, Brady earned:

• $28.3 million in 2020
• $39.4 million in 2021
• $30 million in 2022

Those payouts brought his total NFL salary to $333 million, and his time in Tampa marked the first period in his career where he began earning near the top end of the quarterback market.

Endorsements and Business Ventures

Off the field, Brady consistently earned $10–$20 million per year through endorsement deals with brands such as Under Armour, UGG, Tag Heuer, Aston Martin, Hertz, Molecule Mattresses, and Subway. Over his career, his endorsement earnings exceeded $140 million.

In addition to endorsements, Brady launched multiple business ventures, including:

• TB12, a fitness and lifestyle brand based on his personal training regimen
• BRADY Brand, an athletic and casual menswear clothing line
• Autograph, an NFT platform co-founded in 2021
• 199 Productions, his content company focused on documentaries, films, and sports content

Fox Sports Contract

On May 10, 2022, it was reported that Tom Brady had signed a 10-year, $375 million deal to join the Fox Sports broadcasting booth for NFL games upon his retirement. At $37.5 million per year, this deal would not only be the largest contract in sports casting history, but it would enable Brady to earn a little more than twice as much as quarterbacks-turned-commentators Tony Romo and Troy Aikman. But the latest reports suggest that Brady is leaning toward walking away from this deal.

FTX Collapse

In June of 2021, Tom and Gisele were revealed as the newest "Brand Ambassadors" of the crypto exchange FTX. The couple would go on to appear in several ads for the company, including one in which Tom starred alongside company founder Sam Bankman-Fried.

As you now know, in November 2022, FTX collapsed into bankruptcy over a matter of days, and within a few weeks, Sam Bankman-Fried was arrested and extradited to the United States to face charges of money laundering and wire fraud.

In the wake of the collapse and ensuing bankruptcy case, a handful of details regarding Tom and Gisele's FTX compensation were released. On January 10, 2023, the bankruptcy court released a document that listed all of FTX's largest individual equity holders. That document revealed that for his services, Tom Brady received 1,144,861 common shares of FTX. Gisele received 686,761 shares.

Television personality Kevin O'Leary was shown to have received 32,000 shares. In an interview with CNBC and Senate testimony, Kevin claimed his FTX stake was worth $1 million at its peak. Using these numbers, we can calculate that at some point, the private market price for a single share of FTX was $31.25. That would mean combined, Tom and Gisele's 1.8 million shares were at one point worth around $57 million. They likely also received tens of millions in additional compensation. For example, Kevin O'Leary received approximately $14 million in other compensation.

Tom and Gisele, and every other celebrity endorser, will very likely receive nothing in return for their equity stakes.

Real Estate

Massachusetts:

In May 2013, Tom and Gisele paid $4.5 million for a lot in a gated community in Brookline, Massachusetts. They proceeded to custom-build a 10,000-square-foot mansion. In August 2019, they listed this home for $39.5 million. After dropping the price to $33.9 million, the house sold in an off-market deal with no pricing information disclosed. Here's a video tour:

In 2006, Tom paid $6.24 million for a building in Boston. He then spent $11.5 million converting the building from nine condos into four condos. In 2011, he sold the penthouse for $9.3 million. He sold three of the remaining units for a combined $8 million.

Brentwood:

In 2009, Tom and Gisele bought an undeveloped plot of land in LA's Brentwood neighborhood for $9 million. Over the next three years, they spent an additional $20 million constructing a 14,000-square-foot home, which they ended up living in for less than a year. The mansion, which was built from scratch out of acid-washed limestone, sits on a parcel of land overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The home features hardwood floors, floor-to-ceiling windows, open-beamed ceilings, multiple fireplaces, a state-of-the-art kitchen, a large gym, airy, marble-tiled bathrooms, and multiple large closets.  Outside of the house, there is a moat filled with koi, a large pool, a motor court constructed out of reclaimed stones that can only be reached by driving over a small bridge, and beautifully landscaped grounds.  The entire home is eco-friendly and uses solar power and grey-water technology.  It was also constructed out of eco-friendly reclaimed materials.

In May 2014, Dr. Dre bought the property from them for $50 million. Not a bad way to make $21 million. Here's a drone video tour of their former Brentwood mansion:

New York City:

In 2018, Tom and Gisele paid $25.5 million for a 12th-floor unit in a New York City building. They sold this unit in December 2020 for $40 million. They still own a smaller unit in the same building, which has 4,300 square feet of living space overlooking the Hudson River.

Florida:

In late 2020, Tom and Gisele paid $17 million for a two-acre estate on Miami's ultra-exclusive Indian Creek island, which is also known as Billionaire Bunker. The 300-acre island has just 34 total lots and is accessible only by a single guarded bridge. A private police force patrols the island 24/7. Tom and Gisele tore down the existing 5,700-square-foot mansion so they could build a new, much larger mansion in its place. Close neighbors include Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, and billionaire investor Carl Icahn.

Before buying their Indian Creek property, Tom and Gisele rented Derek Jeter's Tampa mansion for a reported $75,000 per month.

After retiring from football, Tom Brady listed his 6,500-square-foot Tampa home for rent at $60,000 per month.

Montana:

Tom and Gisele own a property at the Yellowstone Club in Big Sky, Montana. It's unclear what type of property they own. Condos in the property go for $6 million, homes go for $30 million+.
