Top 5 richest NFL QBs with the highest net worth (2022)
The quarterbacks are the highest-paid players in the NFL. They routinely earn the largest contracts among players of various positions. They also, often, receive the most opportunities for endorsements and other profitable ventures compared to players in other positions.
So, here is a look at the five richest quarterbacks in the NFL, based on their net worth, according to data generated by Celebrity Net Worth.
#5 - Matthew Stafford - $80 million
Matthew Stafford was drafted by the Detroit Lions in the first round of the 2009 NFL Draft and quickly became one of the best quarterbacks in their history.
He was paid accordingly throughout his successful career with the Lions and was once the highest earning player of all time, based on contracts only. This significantly contributes to his large net worth.
Real estate is another big factor in Stafford's net worth. He owned a home in Michigan worth around $6.5 million and upgraded even further in California after being traded to the Los Angeles Rams.
His current home, which was once owned by musician Drake as part of his Yolo Estate, is worth nearly $20 million.
#4 - Joe Flacco - $85 million
Joe Flacco won a Super Bowl ring as the starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens. Since then, he has bounced around to several different teams in a mix of both starting roles and also serving as a back-up.
