The Tom Brady Biz

In the world of football, few names carry as much weight as Tom Brady. The seven-time Super Bowl champion has cemented himself as one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, and his legacy continues to grow with each passing year.

But it's not just on the field where Brady has made a name for himself. Over the years, he's also become a successful entrepreneur and businessman, expanding his brand beyond football and into a variety of different industries.

So, just how much money has Brady made in the NFL? According to Forbes, his career earnings from playing football are estimated to be around $350 million. This seems off but let’s explore…

Off the field, Brady has been just as impressive. He's launched a number of successful businesses, including his own sports performance company, TB12, which offers everything from workout gear to nutrition plans to recovery products. He's also invested or started a number of other businesses. He’s arguably the GOAT on the field, and showing his GOATness can transfer into creating a billion dollar empire.

On The Field:

It’s more documented his career earnings on the field. He’s earned around $292 million on the field and $160 million from sponsorships. That’s an incredible 20+ year run. What’s probably more impressive is what he’s done off the field while playing.

Production:

Tom Brady's production company, named "199 Productions," was founded in 2020 in partnership with entertainment industry veterans Michael Strahan and Gotham Chopra. Since then, the company has been rapidly making a name for itself in the industry.

In just a short time, 199 Productions has already raised $43.8 million in funding from a number of investors, including Endeavor Content, CAA, and AT&T's Otter Media. This significant investment underscores the confidence that industry insiders have in the company's potential for success.

Despite being a relatively new player in the game, 199 Productions has already produced a number of high-profile projects. These include the documentary series "Man in the Arena," which takes an in-depth look at Brady's incredible football career, as well as the upcoming feature film "Unseen Football," which explores the untold stories of football players.

Thanks to its impressive track record and the backing of some of the biggest names in the industry, 199 Productions is currently valued at over $200 million. With Brady's star power and the team's proven ability to create compelling content, the future looks bright for this up-and-coming production company.

WNBA 

Tom Brady has also made headlines for his recent investment in the Las Vegas Aces, a Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) team.

As a minority owner, Brady will have a voice in the team's decision-making process and will be able to provide valuable support and resources to help the Aces continue to grow and succeed. It's yet another example of Brady's dedication to excellence in all aspects of his life, both on and off the field.

Other Companies Include:

TB12 - Sports Wellness company that includes supplements, training,

Brady - His apparel line he’s recently launched in partnership with Under Armour. Could this be the Jordan Brand for UA?

Autograph - His NFT platform launching with high profile athletes like Wayne Gretzki, Tiger Woods, Naomi Osaka and more! At the peak of NFT’s they raised $170M $170M at $700M Valuation.

NFL Broadcaster - Back in May of 2022, Buccaneers' quarterback, Tom Brady, signed an unprecedented contract. It was a 10-year, $375m deal to become the next in-game TV analyst for FOX

Lets Recap:

  • Career earnings and endorsements $350M+

  • Production Company Valuation $200M

  • LV Aces - $14M valuation. This seems like it will 10x his investment, but time will tell.

  • Fox Analyst - 10 years $375M

  • TB12 & Brady - His sports nutrition and apparel brand that seem to be prime to explode now that he has a little more time on his hands.

Seems like he’s well on his way to a billion dollar empire. We know that we can’t wait to see what else he’s cooking up from a biz side in his retirement.
