Has Rob Gronkowski spent his NFL fortune?

A successful NFL career often equates to a big paycheck. This holds true for Rob Gronkowski, who retired after 11 seasons in the league. After teaming up with Tom Brady, Gronk brought home four Super Bowl wins.

The tight end, who retired at the end of the last season, is easily one of the best tight ends the NFL has ever seen. Furthermore, he earned a whopping $70 million during his career.

Naturally, a successful career also comes along with countless endorsement deals that, sometimes, pay as much as a player's salary. As one of the league's most popular players, Gronk has signed deals with brands like Visa and Tide.

Apparently, considering his many endorsement deals, Gronkowski has gotten by without actually using his NFL money.

Earlier this year, Gronkowski revealed that he has not yet touched the $70 million. He spends his endorsement money, which is quite enough for the star to live a comfortable life.

Apart from Visa and Tide, T-Mobile, Dunkin' Donuts, Cheerios, and Monster Energy Drink are a few of the other brands he endorses.

In fact, the 33-year-old has previously spoken about this in his book 'It's Good to be Gronk'. The book came out in 2015, a few years into his career. He did not spend his signing bonus from the contract. Instead, he only spent his marketing money.

This basically meant avoiding expensive cars and jewelry. The tight end seemed determined to spend his money properly. He focused on the long-term goal. Even after retirement, he seems to have maintained this standard.
