Brady is arguably one of the most successful quarterbacks in NFL history, but how did he get to be a six-time Super Bowl champ? Well, his legacy started back in 1977. Brady was born in San Mateo, California, and he was talented in both football and baseball growing up. Like Michael Jordan and LeBron James, Tom Brady excelled in high school athletics and continue focusing on his sports career after he graduated. In fact, he had the chance to play professional baseball out of high school, but Tom Brady decided to go to the University of Michigan instead. In his first two college seasons, Brady didn’t spend much time on the football field, but that all changed in his junior year when he became the starting quarterback for the team. He threw 350 passes for over 2,500 yards. In his final season, he led the team to an Orange Bowl victory. When he entered the NFL draft, he was not seen as a superstar. The New England Patriots didn’t pick him until the sixth round. He served as a backup quarterback during his first full season in the NFL, but everything changed in 2001 when he finally got his chance. Starting QB Drew Bledsoe got injured, which opened the door for Brady. He didn’t know it yet, but Tom Brady’s net worth was about to explode. He took full advantage of this opportunity and led the Patriots to an impressive 11 wins and 3 losses in the 14 games he started. The Patriots entered the playoffs underdogs, but with Brady leading the way, they proved everyone wrong. They won the Super Bowl, becoming only the 2nd team in NFL history to win the Super Bowl after starting the season 2-3. It’s hard to imagine Brady and the Patriots not being a favorite. From there, Brady became known around the world. He was as popular as Beyonce and Bill Gates. He led the Patriots to another Super Bowl victory just two years later. He also won his second Super Bowl MVP award. In total, Brady has six Super Bowl rings and four Super Bowl MVP awards. He also has the most Super Bowl wins by a player, and in 2019 at the age of 41, he became the oldest quarterback to win a Super Bowl. Basically, Tom Brady is a living legend, and legends make a lot of money. Tom Brady’s net worth is estimated at $180 million, and while that number is certainly impressive, it’s nothing compared to his wife’s (Gisele Bundchen) net worth. She’s reportedly close to the $400 million mark. So, in total, they’re worth over $500 million together. That is more then more than Lebron James, but not more than Bill Gates! However, that sum is nothing to complain about!
