Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen investing big into FTX
June 2021 was a good time for Tom Brady. He had just won the Super Bowl for the seventh time a few months back. And it was a good time to invest in the cryptocurrency market as well. So Brady and his now ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, signed a deal with the cryptocurrency exchange FTX that month.
It was an equity deal that made Brady the brand ambassador of the company. The deal also gave Bündchen an environmental and social initiatives adviser role in the company. And the couple attached a lot of their $600 million net worth into the investment.

Fast forward to 2022, the exchange has dropped 72% in value. The cryptocurrency market is in shambles. And crypto giant Binance is set to buy out the company in pennies over a dollar. That may see both Brady and Bündchen lose a major chunk of their net worth. Just another bad day for the NFL G.O.A.T.
Brady’s abysmal year
2022 hasn’t been a good year for Tom Brady. In October, his wife and supermodel Gisele Bündchen finalized the divorce with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers star. They married each other in 2009.

Bündchen wanted Brady to spend more time with the family. Brady announced his retirement from the NFL after the 2021 season to do just that. But he quickly changed his mind and came back out of it in just over a month. He wanted to win another Super Bowl ring. That did not go down well with Bündchen.

Even on the field, he went through the worst start to a season in his entire career. The Bucs had won just three of the eight games before he led them to a big win over the Rams. The QB even admitted that it was something he had never gone through before. And now his investment is at risk. Brady would hope the next year brings something better for him.
