NFL players or professional sports players, in general, earn a huge salary. Whether it’s pro-max contracts in the NBA or 10-year-long contracts for Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks, professional athletes hit the jackpot in terms of their salaries. However, with huge tax cuts and non-guaranteed parts of the contract, smart athletes go on to invest in different kinds of businesses to ensure a passive source of income. Aaron Rodgers is no exception. However, while some players invest in shoe brands, apparel, and brand closer to their fields, the investment that Rodgers has made is as enigmatic as him.

The whole NFL fraternity knows that Rodgers is a touch different from his contemporaries. Therefore, it makes sense that even his fiscal and financial decisions are a little bit different. Recently, Twitter saw one of Rodgers’ interesting investments become fruitful and make him a lot of money.

How is Aaron Rodgers earning a bucketful of money?

With one of the biggest contracts in the NFL, Rodgers has no need for more money. However, he’s made some interesting financial decisions that are giving him excellent returns. Rodgers first set up ‘RX3 Growth Partners’ to make big investments in any kind of consumer product. There are other NFL QBs who’ve gone on to join the group. With this group, Rodgers was able to make millions of dollars off of just dog food.

During the pandemic years, Rodgers realized that celebrities and popular personalities absolutely love their pets. Therefore, Rodgers made a second-round investment in a dog food company called ‘Nom Nom’. Along with RX3, Rodgers went on to join the company when it was valued at about $300 million. However, since then, Nom Nom has done exceptionally well. It has attracted the eyes of different competitors. The company was recently acquired by Mars Pet Care for a whopping $1 billion.
