ROB GRONKOWSKI – $45 MILLION

He may have retired early, but this does not that mean Rob will need personal loans anytime soon. Before calling it quits, he was one of the highest-ranked tight-end in football’s top 100 players—a spot he held for six consecutive years. Retiring only means starting something new for the former athlete. He hasn’t even touched his NFL income, and virtually lives off of the money from his endorsements.

Rob is probably great at budgeting his money—a rare trait amongst young athletes who tend to live fast and spend a lot. Gronkowski also set up the Gronk Nation Youth Foundation, which provides grants to sports programs with an emphasis on health, community, and fitness. He has also been involved with the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the Patriots Foundation. He and his partner donated to hospitals and fire departments some logistics needed for the pandemic. The new generation can learn a thing or two from him.
