250 Million QB Tom Brady’s Net Worth Did Not Fall Amidst FTX, Retirement Issues and Gisele Bündchen Divorce

After Tom Brady and former Brazilian supermodel wife Gisele Bündchen’s official divorce announcement in October this year, there was considerable speculation about the power couple’s division of assets. And even though the divorce settlement was amicable, people still wanted to know who came out ahead of the two in financial gains.

Well, that answer is definitely Gisele Bündchen. However, NFL legend and Tampa Bay quarterback Tom Brady didn’t lose much. In fact, because of a strict prenuptial agreement between the couple, the division of their assets was relatively smoother compared with other celebrity couple divorces. And it wasn’t just the divorce for Brady since his cryptocurrency investments also took a significant hit after the downfall of Sam Bankman-Fried’s FTX.

Tom Brady announced his retirement from football this year, only to change his mind 40 days later. And over the two decades and seven Super Bowl championships, Brady has earned himself quite a nice fortune. However, Gisele was not having it with Brady’s choice to continue playing. And over her gigantic fashion career, the former Victoria’s Secret model has amassed an even bigger fortune than her QB ex-husband. So Bündchen ended the marriage but didn’t take much hit on her net worth. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Gisele is worth around $400 million. And TB12, with his $33 million-a-year current contract, has gathered somewhere around $330 million.

The FTX saga may still drain some cash out of Tom Brady

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen have also split up their real estate assets. Brady has got the Indian Creek Island Miami house on the Biscayne Bay waterfront. Gisele has a new $11.5 million mansion right opposite Brady’s Miami house. But she has also received the Brady family’s New York apartment and their Costa Rica summer house in the final settlement. TB12 and Gisele haven’t claimed their Yellowstone Reserve Montana house yet. However, real estate is not keeping the former couple up at night. It’s their risky investments in SBF’s crypto-exchange platform FTX.

After FTX’s collapse and the loss of over $10 billion in market value, Tom Brady and several other elite athletes like Steph Curry and Shaquille O’Neal find themselves tangled in a lawsuit. Defendants are suing the athletes for their involvement in promoting the fraudulent platform. Brady was also an ambassador for FTX and even did a few commercials with Bündchen, months before their divorce. However, their considerable equity investment and all the lawyer fees to tackle the lawsuit will definitely take a toll on their net worth.

The former New England Patriots QB hasn’t officially paid for his FTX involvement yet. And right now, the focus is solely on the kids’ Benjamin and Vivian. And oh, on that 8th Super Bowl ring. Brady’s Bucs are 6-7 after losing to the San Francisco 49ers, and next up, they face the Bengals.
