Aaron Rodgers’ debut season with the New York Jets had crashed. Just four plays in the game and he suffered an Achilles injury. The consequence? He had to skip the entire 2023 season because of it. The former Green Bay Packers QB has been in the league for more than 17 years. Combine that with his 4x NFL MVP resume. So naturally, he has a ton of wealth.
What do his possessions include? And the biggest question of all: Does his personal treasure trove include a private jet? We did a bit of digging and here’s what we found.

Let’s travel back in time to 2020. The pandemic has just started taking over the world. But Rodgers was far, far away from his home. He was stuck on an entire continent itself! With just 15 minutes left before all the airports were shut down, he needed to flee the country. On an episode of The Pat McAfee Show, he revealed that he was able to reach America “only because he had access to a private jet”.
Well, he does not just use his private jet when it comes to dangerous situations. When he was still with the Packers, he also participated in a pro-am golf tournament. And he arrived at the golf course in style! He fled down to South Carolina in his private plane. And just as he got out, a caddy tended to him.
So, what are some of the $200 million player’s major investments?

So, golf and football are not the only sports that A-Rod is into. In fact, he is a minority owner of the Milwaukee Bucks. He had purchased the stake way back in 2018. Although we can’t say what returns he made on that investment, it’s predicted to be huge! Afterall, they won the NBA Championship in 2021.

The 40-year-old is about as investment-savvy as one could get. And he’s a fan of real estate. Rodgers has several properties spread out all over the country. And of course, his most famous ones are in Malibu and Del Mar. He had purchased his Del Mar mansion for a handsome $2 million. And then guess what was his return on it? He sold it for more than 150% of the price at $5.1 million. And then two years ago, he also injected $50 million into Roth Capital which is a small, privately held investment company.
