Tom Brady's 5 most expensive assets that boost his net worth

Tom Brady is one of the most recognizable athletes on the planet. Having played 22 NFL seasons (now in year 23), the 45-year-old is still going strong.

Having played for so long, Brady has earned his fair share of money through his contracts with the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But that money only goes so far.

For many athletes, life outside of football can be a big boost to their net worth. While the quarterback is already huge (estimated to be around $250 million), his off-field assets have helped him a lot.

But what are Brady's top five assets that have helped him boost his net worth?

#5) Book: The TB12 Method

Given the longevity of the quarterback's career, many want to know the secret to his long, sustained success. A lot of things have to go right physically and mentally.

The quarterback's book, The TB12 method, dives into his approach and gives readers guidance on how to reach and maintain peak performance while reducing the risk of injury. That, for the older generation, is something that is really useful.

#4) Autograph: Co-founder of NFT Company

This is one of the quarterback's latest assets. He is the co-founder of a business called Autograph, an NFT company. It includes some of the biggest athletes on the planet like Simone Biles, Tiger Woods, and Derek Jeter.

Autograph allows its users unique access to a variety of digital collectables (NTFs), exclusive content and much more. With the world of NFTs blowing up, the 45-year-old didn't miss the chance to take advantage of it.

#3) 199 Productions

Launched in 2020, the 199 Productions company is set to develop a lot of content. From TV shows to documentaries and feature films, they will do it all. The company featured a docu-series called Tom vs Time, which delved into the life of the longtime quarterback.

As you can imagine, this will create quite a bit of wealth for Brady. The name looks a bit odd, but the 199 is in reference to the quarterback's draft pick. He was taken with the 199th pick in the 2000 NFL Draft.

#2) Endorsements and Investments

As with most high-profile athletes, endorsements and investments create a huge part of their wealth, and Brady is the same. Having done campaigns with well-known brands in Tag Heuer, UGG, Movado, Wheaties and Smart Water, the money just keeps coming.

It is thought that throughout his career, the quarterback has made over $100 million in endorsements.

#1) TB12 Lifestyle Brand and BRADY

These two are probably the quarterback's two biggest earners. While his clothing line was only established recently, the TB12 lifestyle brand has been going strong for years (since 2013).

The BradyBrand clothing line produces all kinds of lifestyle clothing as well as underwear.

So there you have it. Out of all his money from football, the 45-year-old has his fingers in a lot of pies.
