Tom Brady
Career Earnings: $212 million
Current Net Worth: $200 million
He’s won four Super Bowl MVP awards and a slew of other awards, making him a fan favorite both on and off the field. Brady, like many others, got his big break right out of college when he was drafted in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft. He wasn’t chosen first, but he was chosen nonetheless. Brady has not officially retired, but many believe he is getting ready to leave the game that helped him earn $212 million. However, the money will undoubtedly continue to flow from his contract with Nike Inc.
