Tom Brady’s Net Worth: NFL Career, Salary & Winnings

Most of Brady’s net worth stems from his endeavours on the pitch. As of 2016, his annual salary as New England Patriots’ quarterback was $36.1 million. Following the Super Bowl LI in 2017, he has won 5 Super Bowl titles all with the NEP. He has been named Super Bowl MVP four times. The first time he was only 24. In 2010, he signed a 4-year contract extension worth $72 million, making him the highest-paid player in the NFL.

Brady plans to play into his 40s. While his three-year deal inked in 2015 was still active, Brady in 2016 signed a two-year contract extension that will keep him at the side until 2019. The new deal cuts his 2016 base salary from $9 million to $1 million, a strategy he employed to save him from losing the bulk of his earnings to the four-match suspension stemming from the deflate-gate scandal. However, the deal came with a $28 million bonus. At the end of the 2016 season, Brady ended up losing just $235,294 to his suspension, seeing his earnings rise to $20.8 million. As of 2017, Brady ranks second in NFL career earnings among active players with $180 million.

Endorsements

He makes about $8 million annually from numerous sponsors including Under Armor, Glaceau Smartwater, Uggs, and Movado. He has appeared in commercials for Simmons Bedding Company. He launched his one line of vegan snacks in 2016.

Inside Look at Tom Brady’s House

Like every other average celebrity, one of the ways Brady spends his millions is by building his own mansions from scratch. In 2009, around the time he was dating supermodel Gisele Bundchen, Brady bought a 4-acre piece in Brentwood California and began building on it. Three years later in 2012, he had completed the building of a massive 14,317-square-foot eco-mansion.

The mansion includes 6 bedrooms, a fully-equipped gym with custom-made wrought-iron monkey bars, an outdoor kitchen, an infinity pool complete with cabana and a pond on site complete with waterfall. However, in 2014 after living in the house for barely 2 years, he sold it to record producer Dr. Dre for $40 million.

Brady then had another house custom-built for him on a 5.2-acre land he bought for $4.5 million in Boston. The house located near the very exclusive Brookline Country club measures over 14,000 square feet and includes 5 bedrooms with a master suite with his and hers closet, 4 bathrooms, gym, library with a balcony, a motor court, wine cellar, kitchen with pantry, and sunroom.

The Boston mansion is valued at $40 million. Brady also owns a sprawling co-op in Manhattan, New York.

In addition to spending on himself, Brady helps to make the world a better place. He supports a number of charities, for instance, Best Buddies International, Boys & Girls Club America, Entertainment Industry Foundation, and KaBOOM!
