Everyone knows that the money will keep coming in for NFL great Tom Brady even after his retirement. But just by how much are we talking about?

According to a sports marketing analyst, the former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback could very well become the NFL's first billionaire athlete. Widely considered the NFL GOAT, he seems to be on a Michael Jordan-like path who used his immense popularity and influence to grow his business ventures.

Now it remains to be seen if TB12 will become an NFL franchise owner in the future, but there are certainly several opportunities waiting for him in his life after football. After all, if he has made $180 million in endorsements during his playing career and $170 million in funding for his NFT company called Autograph, imagine how much more he can make now that he can focus on those stuff–after his family of course!

“He’s the NFL’s GOAT and his brand is among the strongest of any pro athlete,” said sports marketing analyst Bob Dorfman, per New York Post. “So he can pretty much do whatever he wants — broadcasting, team ownership, speaking engagements, book-writing, pitching products for current sponsors, new deals with family-oriented brands, or just building up his existing companies.”

Dorfman further highlighted that Tom Brady has “billionaire potential,” as he doesn't see the NFL icon disappearing from the limelight for the next decade or so.

As the same New York Post report mentioned, Brady can choose to go to Hollywood and become a producer if he wants. There is also the opportunity of being a TV analyst for a huge network, with recent predictions claiming he could command as much as $25 million from TV networks.

The possibilities are endless for Brady, but that's what you get from being one of the greatest, or arguably the best in what you do.
