Tom Brady, With Half a Billion Dollar Net Worth, Purchased His First Car For Only $200

Former NFL QB Tom Brady recently shared a story from his humble beginnings while discussing the purchase of his first car. Some fans might consider Brady to be doing much better financially than many of his fans, but he also started from the bottom. The feeling of buying his first car seems like a cherished memory for him and something few will forget.

Brady was speaking during his appearance on WEEI’s “Kirk & Callahan” show when the subject of his first car came up. He revealed that it was a 1967 Dodge Dart that came with some quirks. Brady adds that it was something only a novice driver would be willing to withstand.

He recalls the exact details of his purchase, stating, “My first car was a 1967 Dodge Dart that I bought from my sister for like 200 bucks. It wouldn’t start if it was below 50 degrees. It didn’t have seat belts, and the radio was — it was a great car.”

The car seems to only invoke pleasant memories even so many years after his original purchase. But Brady has ended up doing well for himself as success followed him both on and off the field. In 2017, British luxury automobile manufacturer Aston Martin unveiled a line of ‘Tom Brady Signature Edition’ convertibles. It is a testament to his amazing work on the field which has led to his millionaire lifestyle.
