Tom Brady is the retired quarterback who won seven Super Bowls with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and who now calls NFL games for Fox while holding a minority stake in the Las Vegas Raiders. As for Tom Brady net worth, there is no figure to quote: no major financial outlet has published an estimate of his total wealth as of October 2026. The documented record is a set of earnings figures and contract values, laid out here with their dates.
Where it stands: Brady combines his Fox broadcasting job with a Raiders ownership stake the NFL approved in 2024. In September 2025, Forbes staff reported that he was the highest-paid television personality of the year, a ranking of annual pay rather than of wealth.

Who is Tom Brady?
Brady is a former NFL quarterback. He spent most of his career in New England, then left for Tampa Bay in 2020 and, as Forbes put it, “promptly won his seventh Super Bowl.”
His exit took two tries. Forbes recounts that he announced his retirement in February 2022, changed his mind less than six weeks later, and then retired “for good” in February 2023.
How Tom Brady made his money on the field
The NFL paid Brady across a long career, but the best-dated figure in our sources is Forbes’ estimate for his final season. On its 2023 list of the world’s highest-paid athletes, Forbes put his earnings at $45.2M, ranking him No. 50.
That number is income for one year, before taxes and agent fees. It says nothing on its own about how much of a career’s pay was saved, invested or spent, which is why an earnings ranking can’t be read as a measure of wealth.
The Fox contract: a reported $375 million
Brady’s largest reported contract covers his work after football. In May 2022, Fox Sports named him its future lead NFL analyst, to call its top games with Kevin Burkhardt and act as an ambassador for the network, ProFootballTalk reported.
The pay figure came from a newspaper. Andrew Marchand of the New York Post reported that the deal pays $375 million over 10 years, starting when Brady retired. According to ProFootballTalk, that “more than doubles” the previous high of $18 million per year that ESPN paid Troy Aikman. Because the figure comes from press reporting rather than a filing or a published contract, it should be read as reported, not confirmed.
Forbes has since ranked his TV pay. Its staff list of the highest-paid TV hosts of 2025 put Brady first, with “the highest salary of any television personality.”
Buying into the Las Vegas Raiders
Brady became an NFL owner in October 2024, when the league’s team owners voted to approve his purchase of a minority stake in the Raiders, ESPN reported. He called it “a blessing to know I’ll be involved in the greatest league in the world for the rest of my life.”
The approval took 17 months. Raiders owner Mark Davis said one sticking point was Brady’s dual role as a broadcaster and an owner. While his bid was pending, the league barred him from weekly production meetings with players and coaches in the games he calls, from other teams’ facilities and from watching practice, ESPN reported. A 2023 owners’ vote also means he would have to sell his stake to play for another team.
Neither the price nor the exact size of the stake was part of the approval coverage we reviewed, so we do not estimate its value. Raiders Hall of Famer Richard Seymour’s ownership bid was approved alongside Brady’s, and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said he hoped the pair would inspire other former players to explore ownership, ESPN reported.
Brady’s companies: Autograph, TB12 and 199 Productions
Off the field, Brady has started several businesses. Forbes lists three:
- TB12, which Forbes calls his lifestyle brand.
- Autograph, which Forbes described as an NFT company. Forbes said the company announced a $170 million Series B round in January 2022. Autograph’s own site lists Brady as co-founder and co-chairman of its board.
- 199 Productions, launched in 2020 to make documentaries, films and TV shows. The name refers to his pick number in the 2000 NFL draft.
Funding rounds measure what investors put into a company. They are not personal income, and without a published ownership percentage, a round can’t be turned into a figure for Brady’s share. None of our sources gives his stake in Autograph.
Tom Brady net worth: what the estimates say
There are none from the outlets we treat as reliable. Brady does not appear with a wealth figure in Forbes’ coverage, which tracks him only through annual earnings lists, and our sources contain no Bloomberg estimate either. Websites that publish confident totals for him do not show their method, and we do not repeat their numbers.
What can be said, with dates: Forbes estimated $45.2M in earnings for 2023; the New York Post reported a $375 million, 10-year Fox deal in 2022; and the NFL approved his Raiders stake in 2024. For athletes where Forbes does publish a wealth estimate, see Michael Jordan and LeBron James. For now, Brady’s documented wealth story is a list of deals, not a number.
