Tom Brady, widely considered the greatest quarterback in NFL history, has a net worth of $300 million as of 2025 according to Celebrity Net Worth. The 48-year-old retired NFL legend has transitioned from the gridiron to broadcasting, business ventures, and investments, positioning himself to potentially double his wealth through a historic $375 million Fox Sports contract that will make him one of the highest-paid sports analysts in television history. Despite earning less than his ex-wife Gisele Bündchen (worth $400 million), Brady’s post-retirement ventures and strategic investments suggest he’s on a trajectory toward billionaire status within the next decade.
Tom Brady Net Worth Breakdown
Tom Brady’s $300 million net worth represents wealth accumulated independently from his ex-wife Gisele Bündchen following their October 2022 divorce. During their 13-year marriage, the power couple boasted a combined net worth of $650 million, with Gisele actually outearning Tom throughout most of their relationship—a fascinating dynamic that allowed Brady to take team-friendly NFL contracts while the family’s financial security remained intact.
Career Earnings Overview
Throughout his legendary 23-season NFL career spanning 2000-2022, Tom Brady earned approximately $530 million from all sources combined, including $333 million in NFL player contracts from the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, $200 million from endorsement deals with major brands, and additional millions from performance bonuses, playoff incentives, and Super Bowl appearances.
What makes Brady’s NFL earnings particularly interesting is that he consistently accepted below-market contracts, particularly during his Patriots tenure, to allow the team to sign additional talent and build championship rosters. His willingness to sacrifice personal earnings for team success is credited as one factor in New England’s dynasty, though it also meant he earned significantly less than his market value would have commanded.
NFL Career Earnings: $333 Million Over 23 Seasons
The Patriots Years: 2000-2019
Tom Brady’s NFL journey began when the New England Patriots selected him with the 199th overall pick in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft—one of the greatest steals in sports history. His rookie contract was a four-year deal worth just $866,500 with a $38,500 signing bonus—modest compensation that seems laughable given his eventual dominance.
Early Contract Extensions:
- 2002: Signed a four-year, $30 million extension with a $6.5 million signing bonus
- 2005: Signed a six-year, $60 million extension with $26.5 million guaranteed
- 2010: Signed a four-year, $72 million extension with $48.5 million guaranteed
Peak Patriots Contracts:
- 2013: Signed a three-year, $27 million extension
- 2016: Signed a two-year, $41 million extension
- 2019: Signed a two-year, $70 million extension (his final Patriots contract)
During his 20 seasons with New England, Brady earned approximately $235 million in total salary. However, salary cap experts estimate that had Brady demanded maximum market value throughout his career, he could have earned an additional $60-100 million. His team-friendly deals were strategic choices that prioritized championships over personal wealth.
Six Super Bowl Championships with Patriots: Super Bowl XXXVI (2001), Super Bowl XXXVIII (2003), Super Bowl XXXIX (2004), Super Bowl XLIX (2014), Super Bowl LI (2016), and Super Bowl LIII (2018).
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Years: 2020-2022
In March 2020, at age 42, Brady shocked the sports world by leaving the Patriots and signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His Buccaneers contracts were significantly more lucrative than his Patriots deals:
2020: Signed a two-year, $50 million contract with $9 million in incentives, fully guaranteed. This deal paid him $25 million annually—more than he typically earned with New England.
2021: Signed a four-year extension through 2024 worth $100 million fully guaranteed with an additional $60 million in incentives. This contract paid him approximately $25 million base with the potential for $40 million annually with incentives achieved.
In three seasons with Tampa Bay, Brady earned approximately $98 million in salary and bonuses. He led the Buccaneers to a Super Bowl LV victory in his first season (2020), cementing his legacy as the only quarterback to win Super Bowls with two different franchises and securing his seventh championship ring.
Brady retired in February 2023 after the 2022 season, then un-retired 40 days later, only to officially retire again after the 2022 season concluded. His final season saw him earn approximately $75 million when combining salary, bonuses, and endorsements—the highest single-year earnings of his career.
Total NFL Contract Earnings
When combining all 23 seasons, Tom Brady earned $333 million in NFL player contracts. While this places him among the highest-earning NFL players in history, it’s important to note that quarterbacks who played fewer seasons but demanded maximum market value (like Patrick Mahomes with his $450 million contract) have either already earned or will earn more from playing contracts alone.
Brady’s willingness to accept below-market deals cost him tens of millions in direct salary but allowed the Patriots to build dynasty rosters and likely contributed to his winning seven championships—achievements that opened doors to endorsement and post-career opportunities worth hundreds of millions.
Endorsement Deals: $200 Million and Growing
Beyond his playing salary, Brady has earned approximately $200 million from endorsement deals throughout his career, with this figure continuing to grow in retirement as brands recognize his enduring appeal and credibility.
Major Brand Partnerships
Under Armour (2010-Present): Brady’s longest and most lucrative endorsement relationship is with Under Armour. He signed with the athletic apparel company in 2010, leaving Nike, and has appeared in numerous campaigns showcasing their performance gear. The partnership reportedly pays him $6-10 million annually and includes equity stakes in the company, meaning Brady benefits from Under Armour’s overall performance and stock value.
UGG Boots (2010-Present): Perhaps his most unexpected endorsement, Brady’s partnership with UGG has been remarkably successful. Initially mocked when announced, the deal has proven lucrative, reportedly paying him $3-5 million annually and introducing the brand to male consumers who wouldn’t have otherwise considered UGG products.
TAG Heuer (2016-2023): The Swiss luxury watchmaker partnered with Brady for several years, featuring him in advertising campaigns and creating limited-edition watches bearing his name. This partnership reportedly paid $2-4 million annually.
Aston Martin (2017-Present): Brady became a brand ambassador for Aston Martin, the British luxury automobile manufacturer, appearing in advertisements and attending brand events. The deal includes vehicle provision and substantial annual compensation.
Hertz (2021-2022): Brady appeared in multiple Hertz rental car commercials, including memorable spots during his Tampa Bay years. This partnership reportedly paid several million dollars before Hertz’s bankruptcy and restructuring.
Subway (2021-2022): Brady appeared in Subway commercials alongside athletes like Steph Curry, promoting the sandwich chain. However, this partnership ended relatively quickly.
FTX (2021-2022): Brady and Gisele Bündchen both partnered with cryptocurrency exchange FTX, appearing in commercials and taking equity stakes in the company. This partnership ended disastrously when FTX collapsed in November 2022 amid fraud allegations, and Brady faced lawsuits from investors who claimed celebrity endorsements misled them. The full financial and legal fallout from this partnership continues as of 2025.
IWC Schaffhausen: The Swiss luxury watch brand has featured Brady in campaigns, particularly after his move to Tampa Bay.
Molecule Sleep: Brady became an investor and brand ambassador for Molecule, a mattress and sleep products company, as part of his focus on wellness and recovery.
TB12 Sports: Building a Brand Empire
Perhaps Brady’s most significant business venture is TB12 Sports, a health and wellness company he founded with his longtime trainer Alex Guerrero. Launched in 2013, TB12 has grown into a comprehensive lifestyle brand encompassing:
TB12 Method: Brady’s proprietary training and nutrition philosophy emphasizing pliability, hydration, and plant-based nutrition. He detailed this approach in his 2017 bestselling book “The TB12 Method: How to Achieve a Lifetime of Sustained Peak Performance.”
TB12 Centers: Fitness facilities in Boston and Tampa offering personal training, physical therapy, and recovery services based on Brady’s methods.
TB12 Nutrition: A line of supplements, protein powders, and nutrition products sold online and in retail locations.
TB12 Performance Meals: Pre-prepared meal delivery service based on Brady’s dietary principles.
TB12 Equipment: Resistance bands, massage tools, and other fitness equipment designed around his training philosophy.
While TB12 Sports’ exact valuation remains private, industry estimates suggest the company could be worth $50-100 million, with Brady owning a substantial equity stake that contributes significantly to his net worth. The brand’s growth potential remains substantial as wellness and longevity markets continue expanding.
The Fox Sports Mega-Deal: $375 Million Over 10 Years
The most significant factor in Brady’s post-retirement wealth trajectory is his historic broadcasting contract with Fox Sports. Announced in May 2022 (before Brady’s final retirement), the deal will pay him $375 million over 10 years to serve as Fox’s lead NFL analyst.
Contract Details
Annual Compensation: Approximately $37.5 million per year for 10 years
Duration: 2024-2033 (though he delayed his start until after his playing career officially ended)
Role: Lead NFL color commentator, working alongside play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt
Start Date: Brady officially began his Fox Sports role during the 2024 NFL season
Comparison: This deal makes Brady the highest-paid sports analyst in television history, far exceeding deals signed by Tony Romo (CBS, $17-18 million annually), Troy Aikman (ESPN, $18 million annually), and other legendary former players turned broadcasters.
Broadcasting Debut and Performance
Brady made his Fox Sports debut during the 2024 NFL season, calling games alongside Kevin Burkhardt. Initial reviews of his broadcasting work were mixed, with critics noting he sometimes sounded stiff or overly prepared, lacks the natural spontaneity of the best color commentators, and appears to be finding his rhythm in the booth.
However, Fox executives have expressed confidence that Brady will develop his broadcasting skills over time, and viewers have tuned in partly out of curiosity to hear the GOAT’s insights. The $37.5 million annual salary reflects not just his analytical ability but his star power—Brady’s name attracts viewers regardless of which teams are playing.
Long-Term Financial Impact
The Fox Sports contract will add $375 million to Brady’s career earnings over the next decade. Combined with his NFL playing earnings ($333 million) and endorsements ($200 million+), Brady’s lifetime career earnings will exceed $900 million by 2033. With continued business ventures, investments, and potential additional endorsements, breaking $1 billion in career earnings—and achieving billionaire status—appears highly realistic.
Real Estate Portfolio: $100+ Million in Properties
Tom Brady has built an impressive real estate portfolio throughout his career, with properties worth over $100 million collectively. Some of these were owned jointly with Gisele during their marriage and were divided during their divorce proceedings.
Los Angeles – Brentwood Mansion
Perhaps Brady’s most famous property was the custom-built mansion in Brentwood, Los Angeles, that he and Gisele commissioned. The couple purchased the land and spent nearly three years building a 22,000-square-foot eco-conscious home featuring moat-like water features, limestone walls imported from Europe, solar panels and sustainable energy systems, extensive outdoor spaces and gardens, and home gym and wellness facilities.
They sold the property in 2014 for $40 million to Dr. Dre, the hip-hop mogul, who later resold it for $50 million. The sale netted Brady and Gisele a substantial profit on their investment.
Boston/Massachusetts Properties
Brookline Mansion: Brady and Gisele purchased a 5-acre lot in Brookline, Massachusetts, for $4.5 million in 2013 and built a custom 10,000-square-foot mansion. They listed the property in 2019 for $39.5 million but struggled to sell it at that price point. The property eventually sold for approximately $32-33 million, still representing a healthy return on their investment.
New York City
One Madison Condo: The couple owned a high-rise condominium in Manhattan’s Flatiron District, which they purchased for approximately $11.7 million and later sold for around $14 million.
Miami Properties
Indian Creek Island: After his divorce, Brady purchased property on Indian Creek Island, Miami’s ultra-exclusive “Billionaire Bunker,” for $17 million. He razed the existing home and is building a custom mansion on the lot. The property is expected to be worth $30-40 million upon completion.
This Miami location provides proximity to his ex-wife Gisele (who also lives in Miami) for co-parenting purposes while offering the extreme privacy and security that Indian Creek Island is famous for—the island has just 41 homes and its own private police force.
Montana Ranch
Brady owns property in Montana, providing a retreat from his urban lifestyle and offering outdoor recreation opportunities. The exact value remains undisclosed but Montana ranch properties of this caliber typically range from $5-20 million.
Costa Rica
Brady has invested in property in Costa Rica, though details remain private. His interest in Costa Rica aligns with his wellness focus and desire for nature-oriented retreats.
Business Investments and Ventures
Beyond TB12 and real estate, Brady has built a diverse investment portfolio spanning technology, sports, fashion, and entertainment.
Autograph: NFT and Web3 Platform
In 2021, Brady co-founded Autograph, a non-fungible token (NFT) platform focused on sports, entertainment, and culture. The company raised $170 million in Series B funding, valuing it at over $1 billion and giving it “unicorn” status.
Brady serves as co-chairman and holds significant equity in the company. While the NFT market has cooled considerably since its 2021-2022 peak, Autograph has pivoted toward broader Web3 applications and celebrity-fan engagement tools. Brady’s equity stake in Autograph is worth tens of millions of dollars on paper, though the actual realization value depends on future exits or going public.
Brady Brand: Fashion and Apparel
In January 2022, Brady launched Brady Brand, an apparel company focused on active lifestyle clothing. The brand emphasizes performance, comfort, and versatility, reflecting Brady’s personal style and fitness-oriented lifestyle.
The company raised funding and has released multiple product lines including athletic shorts, tops, and outerwear. While still in growth phase, Brady Brand could eventually rival other athlete-founded apparel companies like Michael Jordan’s Jordan Brand or Dwayne Wade’s Way of Wade if successfully scaled.
Religion of Sports: Media Production
Brady co-founded Religion of Sports, a sports media and production company, with filmmaker Gotham Chopra and Michael Strahan. The company produces documentaries, series, and feature films exploring sports culture and its impact on society.
Religion of Sports has produced content for major platforms including Facebook, Showtime, ESPN, and others. The company’s productions have won Emmy awards and critical acclaim. Brady’s ownership stake adds to his media empire beyond just his Fox Sports on-air role.
Sports Team Ownership Interests
Las Vegas Raiders: In May 2023, NFL owners unanimously approved Brady’s purchase of a minority stake (approximately 5-10%) in the Las Vegas Raiders. The deal values his stake at approximately $100-175 million, though he’s paying a discounted rate common for minority ownership deals. This investment gives Brady direct ownership in an NFL franchise and positions him for potential leadership roles in the league post-broadcasting career.
This ownership stake created some controversy regarding potential conflicts of interest with his Fox Sports analyst role, as broadcasters typically cannot have ownership stakes in teams they might cover. NFL and Fox worked out arrangements to manage these potential conflicts.
Personal Life and Family
Marriage to Gisele Bündchen
Tom Brady married Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen on February 26, 2009, in a small ceremony in Santa Monica, California. The couple represented one of sports and entertainment’s ultimate power couples, with their combined net worth exceeding $650 million during their marriage.
Together they had two children:
- Benjamin Rein Brady (born December 2009)
- Vivian Lake Brady (born December 2012)
Brady is also father to John “Jack” Edward Thomas Moynahan (born August 2007) from his previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan. Gisele served as stepmother to Jack throughout their marriage.
The Divorce
In October 2022, after months of speculation and tabloid reports, Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen finalized their divorce, ending their 13-year marriage. Both released statements emphasizing their continued commitment to co-parenting and mutual respect.
The divorce reportedly stemmed from multiple factors including Brady’s decision to un-retire from the NFL after initially announcing retirement in February 2022, creating friction about his continued football commitment versus family priorities, Gisele’s desire for Brady to spend more time with family and focus on post-football life, and differing priorities about work-life balance and parenting approaches.
The financial settlement details remain confidential, but legal analysts believe both parties retained their individually earned income and the assets purchased with those earnings, meaning Gisele kept her $400 million modeling fortune and business ventures, while Brady retained his $300 million NFL earnings and business interests. Jointly owned real estate assets were divided, with each party receiving properties or cash settlements representing their equitable share.
Current Relationship Status
As of October 2025, Brady is reportedly single, though he’s been linked to various high-profile women since his divorce including Russian supermodel Irina Shayk and Colombian actress Sofía Vergara. None of these rumored relationships have been confirmed as serious or long-term partnerships.
Philanthropy and Charitable Work
Despite his competitive intensity on the field, Brady has engaged in substantial philanthropic work throughout his career.
Best Buddies International
Brady has been a longtime supporter of Best Buddies International, an organization dedicated to ending social, physical, and economic isolation of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. He’s participated in annual fundraising events and donated millions to the organization over the years.
TB12 Foundation
Brady established the TB12 Foundation to provide youth sports programs to underserved communities, particularly focusing on inner-city athletes who lack resources for proper training, nutrition, and equipment. The foundation has distributed millions in grants and provided equipment, coaching, and wellness support to youth programs.
COVID-19 Relief
During the pandemic, Brady donated hundreds of thousands of meals to families in need in Tampa Bay and New England. He also donated $100,000 to Meals on Wheels to support senior nutrition programs.
Other Charitable Work
Brady has supported Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, KraftBrings Families Together, Entertainment Industry Foundation, and numerous other charities through donations, appearances, and fundraising participation. His total lifetime charitable giving likely exceeds $10 million, though exact figures remain private as he typically doesn’t publicize donations.
The GOAT Debate: Career Achievements
Tom Brady’s $300 million net worth stems directly from being considered the greatest quarterback—and by many measures, the greatest player—in NFL history.
Super Bowl Championships: Seven Rings
Brady’s seven Super Bowl championships are the most by any player in NFL history—more than any entire franchise. He won six with the New England Patriots and one with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, demonstrating his ability to win with different teams, coaches, and rosters.
Super Bowl MVP Awards: Five
Brady’s five Super Bowl MVP awards are also a record, demonstrating that he didn’t just win championships—he was the primary reason his teams won.
NFL Regular Season Records
Most Career Passing Yards: 89,214 yards
Most Career Touchdown Passes: 649 touchdowns
Most Career Completions: 7,753 completions
Most Career Wins by a Quarterback: 251 wins (regular season and playoffs combined)
Most Playoff Wins: 35 victories
Most Pro Bowl Selections: 15 selections
Three NFL MVP Awards
Brady won the NFL’s Most Valuable Player award in 2007, 2010, and 2017, though many argue he should have won additional MVPs given his consistent excellence.
Longevity Records
Brady played until age 45, retiring after the 2022 season. His longevity and sustained excellence through his early 40s are unprecedented at the quarterback position, where most players decline sharply after age 35.
Comparing Tom Brady to Other Wealthy Athletes
Brady’s $300 million net worth places him among the wealthiest NFL players, though he’s not the richest athlete overall.
Wealthiest NFL Players
Roger Staubach: $600 million (primarily from post-career real estate ventures)
John Madden: $200 million (earned from broadcasting and video game licensing)
Peyton Manning: $250 million (from playing career, endorsements, and Papa John’s franchises)
Patrick Mahomes: $90 million current net worth, but his $450 million contract suggests he’ll surpass Brady’s playing earnings
Jerry Richardson: Former NFL player who became billionaire through founding Hardee’s and Bojangles restaurant chains, then owned Carolina Panthers
Wealthiest Athletes Overall
Michael Jordan: $3 billion (primarily from Nike’s Jordan Brand royalties)
Tiger Woods: $1.1 billion (from tournament winnings, endorsements, and course design business)
LeBron James: $1 billion (from NBA salary, endorsements, and business ventures)
Magic Johnson: $1.2 billion (from post-career business ventures including Starbucks franchises and investments)
Roger Federer: $550 million (from tennis winnings and endorsements)
Brady’s $300 million places him firmly among the wealthiest athletes, though well behind the billionaire tier achieved by Jordan, James, Woods, and others. However, his Fox Sports contract and continued business ventures put him on track to potentially reach $500 million to $750 million net worth by 2035.
