Who Has a Higher Net Worth Following Their Divorce: Tom Brady or Gisele Bundchen?
Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen surprised a lot of people when they divorced after 13 years of marriage. While there were rumblings for months that the retired NFL star and retired supermodel were having marital issues, many were stunned when Brady confirmed in October 2022 via his Instagram Story they had already divorced.
“In recent days, my wife and I finalized our divorce from one another,” the former quarterback wrote. “We arrived at this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time we spent together. We are blessed with beautiful and wonderful children who will continue to be the center of our world in every way. We will continue to work together as parents to always ensure they receive the love and attention they deserve.”
Brady and Bündchen both amassed impressive net worths while together, but many are wondering who is worth more since their split. Here’s the answer to that and more.
Tom Brady’s net worth
Brady spent the first 20 seasons of his career with the Pats. According to Spotrac, the signal caller earned approximately $235 million over that time period.
In March 2020, TB12 took his talents further south when he signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. There, he inked a two-year $50 million contract that included $9 million in incentives. The GOAT has earned more than $473 million between his football salary and multiple endorsement deals.
But even though he hung his cleats up in 2023, Brady wasn’t totally done with the game. On May 10, 2022, reports surfaced that he had signed a 10-year $375 million deal to join Fox Sports as a broadcaster during NFL games. At $37.5 million per year, the deal is the largest contract in sportscasting history as he’s earning a little more than twice as much as quarterbacks-turned-commentators Tony Romo and Troy Aikman.
Celebrity Net Worth noted that today Brady has a massive net worth of $300 million.
Gisele Bündchen’s net worth
Brady’s net worth is certainly impressive but is it more than his ex-wife’s?
Bündchen signed a five-year, $25 million contract with Victoria’s Secret in 2000, becoming one of the brand’s Angel spokesmodels. She went on to become one of the most sought-after runway and fashion models. Between 2012 and 2017, the Brazilian beauty was the highest-paid model in the world.
Bündchen has walked in shows for Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, and Christian Dior. Some of the brands she has done ad campaigns for include Dolce and Gabbana, Valentino, Ralph Lauren, and Versace to name a few. She has earned more than $500 million over the years in endorsement deals.
Bündchen has done some acting as well, co-starring in the 2004 remake of Taxi. In addition, she played the character of Serena in The Devil Wears Prada. In 2018, she released her book Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life. She also owns her own fashion brand.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Bündchen’s estimated net worth is an eye-popping $400 million; $100 million more than her ex-husband.
