Peyton Manning's net worth: Is the former Colts star richer than Tom Brady? 

Peyton Manning's net worth has grown exponentially over the years thanks to his various investments since retiring from the NFL. Nicknamed 'The Sheriff,' Manning has branched out into various avenues and has also actively starred in various commercials and TV spots.

During his playing days, the former quarterback won two Super Bowls and five regular season MVP honors. A record that still stands to this day. With his playing days now long behind him, Manning is looking to grow his influence further.

From brand endorsement deals to being the founder of the burgeoning Omaha Productions (which produces Manningcast), the Sheriff has done rather well for himself. But compared to his arch-nemesis on the field, Tom Brady, what is Peyton Manning's net worth in 2022? Has he invested wisely enough to usurp Brady in the battle of wealth?
