NFL career earnings

Brady was famous for taking less than market value. Business Insider estimated he gave up at least $60 million over his Patriots years so the team could spend more on other players. Even so, he finished with one of the highest salary totals in league history.

Team or season	Contract details	Earnings (Spotrac)

Forbes earnings lists

Forbes tracks pre-tax income from salary, bonuses and endorsements. Brady’s best years came late in his career, when his Tampa Bay salary and off-field deals peaked together.

• 2021: $76 million, No. 9 among the world’s highest-paid athletes
• 2022: $83.9 million, No. 9 again, and No. 1 on Forbes’ list of the NFL’s highest-paid players for the first time
• 2023: $45.2 million, No. 50, in the year he retired

Early life

Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. was born on August 3, 1977, in San Mateo, California. He is the youngest of four children and the only son of Galynn and Tom Brady Sr.

He played football and baseball at Junípero Serra High School in San Mateo and graduated in 1995. The Montreal Expos drafted him as a catcher, but he chose college football instead.

At the University of Michigan he spent his first years as a backup before starting every game in 1998 and 1999. He graduated in December 1999.

The Patriots years (2000–2019)

Every NFL team passed on Brady at least once before the Patriots took him 199th overall in the sixth round of the 2000 draft. He became the starter in 2001 after an injury to Drew Bledsoe and won the Super Bowl that season.

Working with head coach Bill Belichick, Brady won six Super Bowls in New England: after the 2001, 2003, 2004, 2014, 2016 and 2018 seasons. He was named league MVP three times, in 2007, 2010 and 2017.

His contracts grew, but rarely to the top of the market. In August 2002 he signed a four-year extension worth nearly $30 million. Late in his Patriots run, his deal averaged about $23 million a year, which ranked only 13th among NFL quarterbacks, according to Forbes.

The Deflategate case cost him a four-game suspension in 2016. He served it and then led New England to another title that season.

Tampa Bay and a seventh ring (2020–2022)

In March 2020, at age 42, Brady left New England and signed a two-year, $50 million fully guaranteed contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Forbes estimated he had earned about $350 million on and off the field during his 20 Patriots seasons.

In his first year in Tampa he won Super Bowl LV, beating Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs 31–9. It was his seventh title and fifth Super Bowl MVP.

Brady announced his retirement on February 1, 2022, reversed it six weeks later, and played one more season. He retired for good on February 1, 2023, holding NFL records for career passing yards and touchdown passes. The Patriots inducted him into their Hall of Fame and retired his No. 12 in June 2024.

Fox Sports: the $375 million deal

In May 2022, while still playing, Brady agreed to become Fox Sports’ lead NFL analyst once he retired. Sports Illustrated and others reported the deal at $375 million over 10 years. That is more than he earned in salary during his entire playing career.

He took a year off after retiring and made his debut in the 2024 season, alongside play-by-play voice Kevin Burkhardt. In February 2025 he called Super Bowl LIX for Fox. The pay dwarfs what earlier quarterbacks-turned-analysts such as Phil Simms made in the booth.

The 2026 season is his third with the network. In September 2026, Fox Sports president Brad Zager told Sports Business Journal he expected Brady to stay “for the long haul.” On November 8, 2026, Brady called a game at Gillette Stadium for the first time, the Patriots against the Packers.

Owning the Las Vegas Raiders

NFL owners approved Brady as a Raiders limited partner on October 15, 2024, after more than a year of talks with owner Mark Davis. Brady and business partner Tom Wagner, co-founder of Knighthead Capital, bought a combined 10% stake, which works out to about 5% each.

The pair agreed to pay $220 million in equity, plus $24 million owed to the other teams under the terms of the Raiders’ move to Las Vegas. Sports Business Journal reported the deal valued the team at about $3.5 billion, well below the $6.7 billion Forbes valuation at the time, a sign of the discount Brady negotiated.

The stake came with rules. In his first Fox season he could not attend other teams’ production meetings or practices. In August 2025 the league eased that so he could join production meetings, but he still may not attend practices or publicly criticize officials or other clubs. Brady was also reported to have played a role in the Raiders’ hiring of a new head coach and general manager in early 2025.

Other team stakes

• Las Vegas Aces (WNBA): Brady announced a minority stake in March 2023, and the league approved it in October 2023. The Aces are also owned by Mark Davis. Terms were not disclosed.
• Birmingham City (English football): In August 2023 Brady bought a stake of a little over 3%, according to Sky Sports, as part of Knighthead’s takeover of the club. He also chaired its advisory board. On November 9, 2026, the club announced he had stepped away, with Birmingham top of the Championship. The club did not say whether he sold his shares.

Business ventures

TB12 and Brady Brand

Brady built TB12, a training, nutrition and wellness business, during his Patriots years, and launched the Brady apparel brand in 2022. In January 2024 both were merged into NOBULL, the Boston training-gear company owned by BodyArmor founder Mike Repole. Brady became NOBULL’s second-largest shareholder. No valuation was disclosed.

Autograph and 199 Productions

Brady co-founded Autograph, a digital collectibles (NFT) company, which raised $170 million in a funding round announced in January 2022. In 2020 he launched 199 Productions, named after his draft position, to make documentaries, films and TV shows, including the ESPN+ series Man in the Arena and the 2023 comedy 80 for Brady.

The FTX loss

In 2021 Brady and Bündchen became ambassadors for the crypto exchange FTX and were paid partly in equity. Forbes estimated Brady’s stake was once worth about $45 million. When FTX collapsed in November 2022, the shares became worthless, and The New York Times later reported he lost about $30 million.

FTX investors also sued Brady and other celebrity promoters, including Shaquille O’Neal, claiming they had not done proper due diligence before advertising the exchange.

Other investments

Brady has taken equity in several companies he promoted, including Molecule mattresses in 2018. In November 2025 he revealed that his dog, Junie, is a clone of his late dog, Lua, made through a company owned by Colossal Biosciences, in which he is an investor.

Endorsements

Brady’s endorsement income rose sharply late in his career. Forbes said he earned about $12 million a year off the field in 2019, a figure that nearly quadrupled by 2023. In the 12 months to February 2022 he also earned a record $9.5 million from NFL Players Association licensing, according to The Athletic.

His partners over the years have included:

• Under Armour, long his most lucrative deal
• Fanatics, the sports merchandise company led by Michael Rubin
• Hertz, Subway, Wheels Up and eyewear brand Christopher Cloos
• Watchmakers Tag Heuer and IWC Schaffhausen
• Earlier deals with UGG, Aston Martin, Foot Locker and Upper Deck

Real estate

Brady and Bündchen bought, built and sold several high-end homes during their marriage, usually at a large profit.

Property	Year	Reported price
Brentwood, Los Angeles (custom-built mansion)	Bought 2008; sold 2014	$11.75 million paid; sold to Dr. Dre for $40 million
Brookline, Massachusetts estate	Sold December 2020	Listed at $39.5 million; reported sale about $32.5 million
Tribeca, New York condo (70 Vestry Street)	Bought 2018; sold early 2021	$25.5 million paid; sold for $36.8 million
Indian Creek Island, Florida lot	Bought 2020	About $17 million

The Indian Creek estate, on the guarded island near Miami known as the “Billionaire Bunker,” was completed after the divorce and financed in part by a $35 million construction loan. In January 2025 Bloomberg reported that Brady was quietly shopping it and had drawn bids above $150 million, which would be a Miami-area record.

While playing in Tampa, Brady rented Derek Jeter’s waterfront mansion. He has also been linked to homes in Montana and Costa Rica.

Personal life

Brady has a son, Jack, born in 2007, with actress Bridget Moynahan. He married supermodel Gisele Bündchen in February 2009, and they have two children, Benjamin and Vivian.

The couple announced on October 28, 2022, that they had finalized their divorce after 13 years of marriage. The terms were not made public. Both said they would share in raising their children. Bündchen has her own large fortune from modeling, so neither was financially dependent on the other.

Brady lives mainly in South Florida. He becomes eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame with the class of 2028.

Philanthropy

Brady has supported Best Buddies International, which helps people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, for many years, including hosting its annual charity challenge in Massachusetts.

How Tom Brady compares

Brady is one of the wealthiest NFL players ever, though some retired stars from other sports are richer. For more, see our list of the richest athletes in the world.

Athlete	Estimated net worth	Main source
Shaquille O’Neal	About $500 million	NBA salary, business, TV
Tom Brady	About $350 million	NFL salary, Fox deal, endorsements
Russell Wilson	About $165 million	NFL salary, endorsements
Travis Kelce	About $70 million	NFL salary, podcast, endorsements

Figures are the most recent published estimates as of 2026: Front Office Sports for O’Neal (2025), Forbes for Kelce (2025) and widely reported estimates for Brady and Wilson. Russell Wilson earned more NFL salary per season than Brady ever did, but Brady’s broadcasting and ownership deals give him a much bigger post-career income. Travis Kelce, another future broadcaster, is still building his fortune.
