But curiously, even after being released from the league, he still lives the life of a star.
Antonio Brown has made his mark both on the field and off-grid. A Super Bowl champion, he is also a 4-time first-team All-Pro during his 12 seasons in the NFL.

After leaving the NFL, Antonio Brown got himself involved in several controversies, and his bank balance dropped as deals and endorsements were retracted. But surprisingly, he still has a current net worth of $20 million, which is impressive for a retired NFL player. The reason is that Antonio Brown hasn’t just been active on the field, but he was also involved in several business ventures to bring in the dough.
The 35-year-old played with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before retiring. He was set to earn $77+ million from his contract with the NFL, but his off-field controversies stripped him of the lucrative deal. As a player, his biggest earning was the $50.125 million contract with the Oakland Raiders. Following his retirement, he also tried his hands as the co-owner of the indoor football team, Albany Empire, earlier this year. However, the contract was terminated due to financial complications.
