5 NFL players whose net worth is less than that of their partners ft. Tom Brady
Most NFL players have the ability to make millions of dollars during their careers from team contracts. They also have the opportunity to expand their income streams even further through other outlets such as endorsement deals and paid appearances. Financially savy players will also invest a large portion of their salaries into profitable ventures, allowing them to make more money.
All of these factors contribute to the relatively high net worth of the majority of NFL players, including both active and former ones. Their large income and various assets allow them to provide major benefits to their families in a sometimes life-changing way. Despite their massive financial contributions, not all of them are necessarily the highest earners in the family.
NFL players are celebrities in addition to being athletes and therefore often marry other famous people. This can sometimes result in the player’s wife potentially having a higher net worth than they do, depending on their particular career and life choices. Here are five such examples.
#5 - Eric Decker and Jessie James Decker
Eric Decker spent eight NFL seasons with the Denver Broncos, New York Jets, and Tennessee Titans. He accumulated nearly 6,000 career receiving yards and more than 50 touchdowns in his professional career. His net worth is estimated to be around eight million dollars.
His wife, Jessie James Decker, has a net worth of around 12 million dollars. She is a successful recording artist in the country music industry. She also spent time doing television as well, including the reality show Eric & Jessie: Game On with her husband.
#4 - Tim Hasselbeck and Elisabeth Hasselbeck
Tim Hasselbeck spent four years in the NFL, mostly serving as a back-up quarterback with four different teams. He currently works for ESPN as a studio analyst and has a current net worth of around 12 million dollars.
