Eli Manning net worth: Which Manning brother is the richest?
Eli Manning is the youngest member of the Manning family to have played in the NFL. Undoubtedly the first family of quarterbacks in the NFL world, the Manning bloodline has produced three legendary starting quarterbacks. Archie Manning started the family tree that was later followed by his sons Peyton Manning and Eli Manning. Up-and-coming Arch Manning may one day supplant Eli as the youngest member of the Manning family to have played in the NFL.
Each of the three quarterbacks from the family have been exceptionally successful. Archie Manning went to two Pro Bowls despite playing for a weak New Orleans Saints team for most of the time. Such was his contribution to the team that he has made it to the New Orleans Saints' Hall of Fame and Ring of Honor, despite never having a winning season with them.
His jersey number 8 was never formally retired but has never been reissued by the Saints. For his part in playing in the NFL, he currently has a net worth of $10 million. This is significantly less than his sons who played in the modern NFL and were much more successful than him due to the teams they were on. Both his sons have won two Super Bowls each.
Peyton Manning has a net worth of $250 million. He is a Hall-of-Famer and one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. He changed how the modern game is played. He won a record five NFL MVP awards and at the time of his retirement held career passing and passing touchdown records. His 55 passing touchdowns in a season are still a league record. Peyton Manning was also the first starting quarterback to lead two different franchises to Super Bowl wins.
Naturally, all such accomplishments automatically made him very sought after and he received numerous endorsements from leading brands, which helped him get a higher net worth. At one point, he also owned many Papa John's franchises in addition to endorsing them, but has since sold them.
With a millionaire elder brother and father, it must have been tough for Eli Manning to follow in their footsteps. But he has not done shabbily either and is worth $150 million.
Eli Manning's net worth is $150 million
Eli Manning has accumulated a net worth of $150 million mainly due to his playing career in the NFL. When he retired with the New York Giants in 2020, he had earned $252.3 million over the course of his NFL career. At the time, he was the highest-ever cumulative earner in the league's history.
Eli Manning net worth — $252.3 million. Highest paid NFL player of all time.
The Giants certainly valued him so highly for good reason. He took the them to two Super Bowl victories, each time overcoming the more-fancied New England Patriots and Tom Brady. Each time he was named the Super Bowl MVP, thereby surpassing his more accomplished brother in at least one statistic. Peyton Manning has only won one Super Bowl MVP award.
In the second of those runs, Eli Manning had arguably the greatest playoff run in the history of the NFL by a quarterback. He made it to four Pro Bowls and even though he was never named league MVP, he was invaluable for the Giants. Since retiring, he has been named to their Ring of Honor and his jersey number 10 has been retired.
Eli Manning retires as highest earner in NFL history ($252 million). Current No. 2? Peyton ($249 million).
Such achievements ensured that the Giants never hesitated to pay him grand money to remain their starting quarterback. He certainly repaid their faith in him over the years. While he did not earn as much outside endorsement money as Peyton Manning did, Eli Manning certainly earned his keep on the field.
