Will Tom Brady’s new contract finally push him past Gisele Bündchen’s net worth?
It’s unclear when Tom Brady will genuinely retire, especially if his frantic 2022 summer is any indicator. Brady intends to do after he decides to retire is less mysterious.
Brady has accepted a lucrative contract with Fox Sports to provide NFL commentary after his career concludes.
It comes as no surprise. There was no doubt that after Brady finished his stellar playing career, he would pursue some form of a wealthy second career.
The real question is if this will enable him financially exceed his wife, Gisele Bündchen.
How much money does Tom Brady have?
Tom Brady’s net worth is now estimated to be $250 million.
With his new Fox Sports contract, that figure is expected to skyrocket.
Fox did not provide a financial figure in its press announcement announcing the acquisition, although word has spread that it is substantial.
According to ESPN, the contract is for $375 million. That’s high praise for a sportscaster.
To put Brady’s contract in context, according to USA Today, the top-earning football commentators prior to him were Troy Aikman and Tony Romo, each of whom earn $18 million per year.
Brady’s contract will outperform both of theirs once he puts on the headset.
Will Tom Brady’s new contract push his net worth over Gisele Bündchen’s?
Despite his numerous awards and wealth, Brady isn’t even the highest-earning member of his family.
That title goes to Bündchen, who is reported to be worth $400 million.
Of all, both of them are wealthy beyond most people’s wildest dreams, so debating who earns more is somewhat funny when they both earn that much.
Despite his large salary from Fox, Brady looks to be the No. 2 earner in their household.
Brady’s $375 million contract is said to be paid out over ten years rather than in one single sum.
That means the deal is worth $37.5 million each year on average.
While it is an outstanding sum, it will not enable him to make up the $150 million gap between his and Bündchen’s net worth.
This isn’t to say Brady can’t compete in other ways.
He will almost certainly earn more endorsements and money opportunities after he retires.
But for the time being, she appears to have the upper hand.

How much will Tom Brady earn in the NFL in 2022?
So much has been made of Brady’s future broadcasting contract — which, by the way, does not begin until he retires from the NFL — that it’s easy to miss his hefty paycheck as a pro player.
According to Spotrac, Brady will earn $15 million in 2022.
While that is a lot of money for the normal individual, Brady is significantly undervalued by NFL standards.
He is the 17th highest-paid quarterback in the NFL, the 100th highest-paid athlete, and only the third highest-paid player on his team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
When you consider how much NFL quarterbacks make and how successful Brady has been during his illustrious career, it’s tempting to believe he’s underappreciated.
Brady appears to be more than making up for this in his post-playing career when he moves to the booth.
