Brett Favre’s biography, fact, career, awards, net worth & life story

Former American football quarterback, Brett Favre, has an estimated net worth of $100 million. The starting quarterback for the Green Bay Packers from 1992-2007, Brett Favre has thrown more touchdown passes than any quarterback in the NFL history. Favre is known as a fierce competitor who likes to sling the ball; he also has a reputation for toughness and for shrugging away injuries, and he holds the record for most consecutive starts among NFL quarterbacks. In his last few years with Green Bay, Favre hinted retirement; he finally retired in March of 2008, but then unretired in August of that year, and the Packers traded him to the New York Jets. He un-retired again in 2009, signing a two-year contract to play for the Minnesota Vikings. Born October 10, 1969 in Gulfport, Mississippi.
