Closing In to Breach $600,000,000 Landmark, Aaron Rodgers Continues to Give Brett Favre a Run for His Real Money

The Green Bay Packers‘ decision to draft Aaron Rodgers remains one of the team’s most impactful moves to date. It all but ensured that the era of the then-current QB, Brett Favre, was drawing to a close. Favre’s declining age and performance were among the few reasons prompting the consideration of a replacement. However, Favre did not take this lightly, and his treatment of Rodgers was less than favorable.

The 21-year-old QB was outright refused any guidance from Favre. Rodgers had to improve on his own while remaining in Favre’s shadow for nearly three years. Nevertheless, as time passed, Rodgers not only excelled in his field but also far surpassed Favre by a considerable margin.

Aaron Rodgers is set to make triple the amount of Favre

Aaron Rodgers has come a long way since his rookie days. He guided his team to the Super Bowl and made impressive strides during his 15-year tenure with the Packers. However, he encountered a similar fate as Favre and found himself overshadowed by younger talent. After years of negotiations with the Packers, he finally succeeded in securing a trade with the Jets.

Now, Rodgers appears content and satisfied in the Big Apple, enjoying the fame and wealth he has accumulated throughout his remarkable career. He consistently remains at the top in terms of annual earnings, even surpassing the league’s leading quarterback, Patrick Mahomes.

The 4x MVP currently has a net worth of $200 million, with a $50.3 million annual salary. He stands in the second position with less than a million shy of Jalen Hurts’ $51 million annual salary. Between 2021-2022 he also amassed a whopping $263 million only from NFL salary. However, there are still endorsements to consider. In terms of endorsement and annual compensation, the NY Jets’ QB made around $90 million between 2018 and 2019.

With one of the highest guaranteed contracts of $153 million, Rodgers will end up with $463 million if he completes his 4-year tenure. He will then cross the $400 million mark only from his salary, a milestone no other NFL player has ever crossed. If all of his investments and endorsements are combined, Rodgers will soon reach the $600 million career-earning milestone, which is 3 times greater than Favre’s $200 million.

Rodgers’ investments are not to be taken lightly

The four-time MVP has not limited himself to relying solely on his NFL salary, which can turn sour in the event of a simple injury. He has ventured into exciting investments across various fields and, unlike many others, has reaped substantial profits from them. Some years ago, Rodgers established RX3 Growth Partners, an investment firm specializing in consumer products.

This initiative attracted the participation of fellow athletes, and Rodgers made millions by shrewdly investing in the dog food industry. His decision to invest in a dog food company during the pandemic turned out to be a stroke of genius, as pet owners flocked to the service, leading to abundant profits.

Furthermore, the four-time MVP possesses other funds that generate astonishing amounts of profit. He even holds a minority stake in the Milwaukee Bucks.
