Tom Brady Net Worth (Money & Salary)

What is Tom Brady’s Net Worth?

An American retired professional football quarterback, spokesman, and entrepreneur, Tom Brady boasts a net worth of $300 million. This figure is distinct from that of his former wife, supermodel Gisele Bundchen, whose wealth amounts to $400 million independently. During their marriage, Tom and Gisele together had a combined net worth of $650 million.

Tom Brady made history by playing in an unprecedented 10 Super Bowls with both the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, triumphing in seven of those games—more than any other player in NFL history. He also earned five Super Bowl MVP awards and three NFL MVP titles throughout his career.

In 2020, Tom transitioned from his long-standing tenure with the New England Patriots to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. When he joined the Bucs, he secured a two-year $50 million contract that included an additional $9 million in performance bonuses. Over the course of his NFL career, Tom amassed over $473 million from salaries and endorsements. He is widely acknowledged as the greatest football player ever.

Early Life

Born on August 3, 1977, in San Mateo, California, Tom Brady hails from a family passionate about sports. He is the only son and the fourth child of Galynn and Thomas Brady, having three older sisters: Nancy, Julie, and Maureen. Raised in a Catholic household, he grew up attending San Francisco 49ers games with his family while idolizing Joe Montana. He also had a fondness for the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics. As a youth, he participated in a football camp at the College of San Mateo, where he was coached by future NFL quarterback Tony Graziani, who taught him how to throw a football.

Brady graduated from Junipero Serra High School in San Mateo in 1995, where he played football, baseball, and basketball. He became the starting quarterback for his high school team in his junior year and created highlight reels to send to colleges that interested him during his senior year. Back in the mid-’90s, college athlete recruitment differed significantly from today’s standards. If Brady had been graduating now, he would likely be regarded as a four-star recruit, a ranking system not commonly known back in 1995. He narrowed down his college options to Cal, UCLA, USC, Michigan, and Illinois, also being drafted by the Montreal Expos in the 18th round of the 1995 MLB Draft. Ultimately, he chose to play college football at the University of Michigan.

During his college years, Brady served as the backup quarterback (under future NFL QB Brian Griese) for the initial two years, struggling for playing time. He eventually started every game in the 1998 and 1999 seasons, setting new Wolverine records for the highest number of pass attempts and completions in a single season. Brady led Michigan to victory in 20 out of 25 games he started. Despite an outstanding college career, he was not an early draft selection, being chosen in the sixth round of the 2000 draft as the 199th pick by the New England Patriots.

Career

As the biggest “steal” in NFL Draft history, Brady’s selection was notably late. He became the starting quarterback for his team during his second season and spent an impressive 20 seasons with the Patriots, setting the NFL record for the longest tenure as a quarterback with a single team. Additionally, he is one of only two quarterbacks to achieve a Super Bowl victory in their inaugural season as a starter. Brady holds the record for the most wins by a quarterback in NFL history and maintained a perfect winning record during his time with the Patriots. He led the Patriots to an unmatched total of 16 division titles, surpassing any other quarterback in league history. With a postseason tally of 30–11, he stands first in all-time playoff wins and appearances among NFL players. Since 2011, Brady has guided the Patriots to an NFL-record of eight consecutive AFC championship games, totaling 13 throughout his career. Furthermore, he has earned 14 Pro Bowl selections, which equals the NFL record for most selections.

The 2016 season saw Brady suspended for the first four games due to accusations related to the Deflategate football-tampering incident. Nonetheless, he and the Patriots triumphed in two of the following three Super Bowls.

In March 2020, Tom Brady declared his move from the New England Patriots to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. While residing in Tampa, he rented a luxurious waterfront mansion owned by Derek Jeter, reportedly costing around $70,000 per month. With the Buccaneers, he secured his seventh Super Bowl title after defeating the Kansas City Chiefs 31-9. After a brief retirement announcement in February 2022, Brady ultimately retired from professional football in February 2023, holding numerous NFL quarterback records.

Tampa Bay Contract

Brady’s contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is valued at a minimum of $50 million across two years. His base salary is projected to be $15 million, accompanied by a $10 million roster bonus annually. Should he achieve certain milestones, the total value of the contract could rise to as much as $60 million. Interestingly, Tom declined a more lucrative offer from the Patriots due to its lack of full guarantees.

Fox Sports Contract

Reportedly, on May 10, 2022, Tom Brady signed a deal worth $375 million over ten years to join the Fox Sports broadcasting booth for NFL games following his retirement. This lucrative agreement at $37.5 million per year not only represents the largest contract in sports broadcasting history but also enables Brady to earn more than double the amount of former quarterbacks-turned-commentators Tony Romo and Troy Aikman. However, recent developments indicate that Brady may be contemplating stepping away from this agreement.

FTX Collapse

In June 2021, Tom and Gisele were announced as the latest “Brand Ambassadors” for the cryptocurrency exchange FTX. They later appeared in several commercials for the platform, including one featuring Tom with the company’s founder, Sam Bankman-Fried.

As you may be aware, FTX declared bankruptcy in November 2022.

Within a span of days, Sam Bankman-Fried was arrested and subsequently extradited to the United States within a few weeks, facing charges related to money laundering and wire fraud.

Following the collapse and the subsequent bankruptcy proceedings, some details regarding Tom and Gisele’s compensation from FTX emerged. On January 10, 2023, a document was released by the bankruptcy court, detailing FTX’s largest individual equity holders. According to this document, Tom Brady received 1,144,861 common shares of FTX for his services, while Gisele was awarded 686,761 shares.

Television personality Kevin O’Leary appeared to have received 32,000 shares. In interviews with CNBC and Senate testimony, Kevin mentioned that his FTX stake reached a worth of $1 million at its peak. Based on these figures, we can deduce that at some point, the private market price for a single FTX share was $31.25. This implies that Tom and Gisele’s combined 1.8 million shares were valued at approximately $57 million at one time. They likely also received tens of millions more in additional compensation, with Kevin O’Leary, for instance, earning about $14 million in other compensation.

It is highly probable that Tom, Gisele, and all other celebrity endorsers will receive nothing in return for their equity stakes.

Personal Life

From 2004 until late 2006, Brady was in a relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan. On February 18, 2007, Moynahan revealed to People magazine that she was over three months pregnant with Brady’s child. Their relationship ended in early December 2006, around the time Moynahan became pregnant. Their son, John Edward Thomas Moynahan, was born in August 2007.

In December 2006, Brady started dating Brazilian model Gisele Bündchen, having been introduced by a mutual friend on a blind date. On February 26, 2009, they tied the knot in a small ceremony at St. Monica Catholic Church in Santa Monica, California. The couple held a second ceremony in Costa Rica in April 2009. They welcomed their son in 2009 and their daughter in 2012.

Sadly, Tom and Gisele divorced in October 2022.

In March 2023, Tom Brady acquired a minority stake in the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces from majority owner Mark Davis.

Diet

Brady’s stringent health regimen involves Transcendental Meditation, yoga, an 80/20 diet (consisting of 80% alkaline and 20% acidic foods), an early bedtime, resistance training, and neuroplasticity training. He and his family follow a controversial strict diet known as the TB12 Method. He recommends that individuals drink water equivalent to 1/32 of their body weight daily. His dietary restrictions include a wide array of foods, as he avoids most fruits, mushrooms, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, coffee, Gatorade, white sugar and flour, gluten, dairy, soda, cereal, white rice, potatoes, and bread.

Career Earnings

Alongside his approximately $30 million annual NFL salary, Tom earned tens of millions from endorsements every year. Between 2000 and 2019, during his time with the Patriots, he accrued $230 million from salary alone. In that same period, he earned an additional roughly $100 million through endorsements. Gisele Bündchen’s

Career earnings approached nearly $500 million.

At the conclusion of his two-year contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he had garnered almost $333 million in salary along with $140 million from endorsements. Altogether, Tom Brady’s total career earnings exceed $473 million.

Designed from scratch with acid-washed limestone, the mansion overlooks the Pacific Ocean. It boasts hardwood flooring, floor-to-ceiling windows, open-beamed ceilings, fireplaces, a modern kitchen, a substantial gym, spacious marble-tiled bathrooms, and ample storage. Outdoors, the estate features a koi-filled moat, a large swimming pool, a motor court made of reclaimed stones that is accessible via a small bridge, and beautifully landscaped gardens. The entire estate is environmentally conscious, utilizing solar energy and grey-water technology, and is constructed from reclaimed materials.
