A Sneak Peek Into The Luxurious Lives Of Retired NFL Stars Like Tom Brady And Peyton Manning
Tom Brady’s Net Worth: Approximately $300 million
Topping the list of retired NFL icons who are living it up is, of course, none other than Mr California Cool Tom Brady. The 46-year-old athlete retired in 2022, reversing his decision only six weeks later in order to play a 23rd and final season in 2023. Brady is widely considered to be one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. Following his retirement he started his own production company, “199 Productions,” and has reportedly secured a lucrative deal with Fox Sports as a lead broadcaster.
Brady’s luxe Miami waterfront mansion is also nearly complete and the newly divorced NFL icon is set to move into the swanky bachelor pad located on the exclusive Indian Creek Island, famously known as “Billionaire Bunker.” The sprawling estate is incidentally right across the waterway from the home of his ex-wife, supermodel Gisele Bündchen. Brady retained the property as his primary residence following his divorce from Bündchen; besides multiple rooms, the mansion has a state-of-the-art gym, a waterfront pool, a cabana and spa and a motor court.
Brady isn’t exactly an avid party-goer, although that may change as he settles into singlehood. Brady doesn’t share too much about his home life on social media and keeps his social media restricted to work posts, collaboration campaigns, travel snaps and messages for his kids. Although Brady does have a roster of super famous friends who are big on partying and Brady is often seen at some A-lister bashes.

Manning has built a large empire through endorsements, TV appearances, and even a stake in the ownership of the Denver Nuggets NBA team. He has been the face of several major brands, including Nationwide, Gatorade, Papa John’s, and DirecTV.
Manning has multiple properties but stays in a stunning mansion in the Cherry Hills Village area of Denver, Colorado, which is known for its sprawling lawns. Manning often hosts charity events and golf outings and has raised millions for various causes through the PeyBack Foundation.
Manning has been involved in a variety of business ventures, including tech startups, real estate and smart deals which has kept him busy.
Ray Lewis’ Net Worth: Approximately $45 million
The two-time Super Bowl winner is known for his lavish lifestyle and he has continued to define his lifestyle through his fitness ventures and often hosts wellness retreats and motivational conferences. He lives at a sprawling Baltimore estate with immaculate lawns and a multi-car garage. More recently, the linebacker’s name been floated as a candidate to become the next head coach at Florida Atlantic. Although some sources have claimed that FAU is focused on other candidates at this time.
Though Lewis loves a good party, he is probably much more cautious about parties after the 2000 scandal where his name was involved in a serious incident following which the NFL player was put on probation.
