When you think of Tom Brady, winning is probably the first word that comes to mind. Throughout his 23-year career, the legendary quarterback won seven Super Bowl titles, more than any other player in history; he holds the NFL record for most passing yards (102,614) and passing (736), most wins as starting quarterback (251), and the oldest player to win a Super Bowl, at age 43.
Tom Brady’s Net Worth 2025
Upon Brady’s retirement announcement in February 2023, however, Forbes listed Brady’s net worth at $530 million: Out of that number, $200 million came from sponsorships and $333 million from on-field earnings, which translated to an average annual salary of $14.4 million.
That made Brady’s football earnings quite a bargain compared with the eight-digit salaries inked by his successors, like quarterback Lamar Jackson, whose $260 million contract with the Baltimore Ravens works out to a $52 million annual paycheck.
How Much is Tom Brady Worth?
Brady has a net worth of $300 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, thanks to his decades-long career as a star quarterback in the NFL, and a series of lucrative businesses and investments in sports teams.
“It’s clear that a storied NFL career—and advertising deals—have made Tom Brady a very rich man, but just how much wealth he has is subject to debate. Celebrity net worth websites peg Brady’s net worth between $300 and $400 million, with most of that money coming from endorsements.”
Tom Brady’s Contract Breakdown
As for how Brady’s contract breaks down, Pro Football Network reports that Brady will earn $15 million in salaries for each season, with $10 million in roster bonuses. According to the site, Brady’s salary counts for 14.1 percent of the Buccaneers’ salary cap, which is estimated at more than $30 million for 2021.
Still, other sources like to play Monday morning quarterback (no doubt their Patriots fans, still grieving his departure and the mediocre team he left them with) and wonder about the wealth Brady missed out on with his 2020 decision to leave New England. They believe the move cost Brady as much as $60 million in career earnings.
Brady’s Future Endeavors
But no matter how many millions Brady currently has in his bank account, his wealth will be augmented by his next assignment—and this time, he’s leaving the field for the commentator’s booth. Brady signed a 10-year deal as the lead color commentator with Fox Sports that’s worth an impressive $375 million.
