Without doubt, both Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady have achieved a lot during their time playing in the NFL. Turns out, though, the New York Jets star has earned more money than the league’s Greatest Of All Time.
As of 2024, Rodgers boasts an impressive net worth of approximately $200 million. This wealth stems from his successful career, lucrative contracts, and astute investments. Throughout his time in the league, Rodgers has earned over $300 million from salaries and endorsements, making him one of the highest-paid athletes in professional sports.
In March 2022, he signed a three-year, $150.8 million extension with the Green Bay Packers, which included $101.5 million guaranteed. Following his trade to the Jets in 2023, he restructured his contract to a three-year deal worth $112.5 million, with $75 million guaranteed. In addition to his earnings, Rodgers has lucrative endorsement deals with major companies such as State Farm, Adidas, and Prevea Healthcare, generating an additional $9-10 million annually.
Rodgers, born on December 2, 1983, in Chico, California, demonstrated athletic talent early on. After a successful stint at Butte Community College, he transferred to the University of California, Berkeley, where he set numerous records. Drafted 24th overall by the Packers in 2005, he became a two-time Super Bowl champion and four-time MVP, solidifying his legacy as one of the league’s greats.
