Aaron Rodgers has been one of the best quarterbacks in football since he became the starter in Green Bay. He has also been one of the most marketable players in all of professional sports since that time as well.
Rodgers and State Farm have teamed up to make some of the best commercials over the years. This is where Rodgers debuted his famous discount double-check championship belt celebration. Nowadays, he and his new agent are gracing television screens with the help of Patrick Mahomes. This is just one of many endorsements that Rodgers has on his ledger.
The Packers are currently 11-3 and leading the NFC North in their first year under head coach Matt LaFleur. Rodgers is playing at a high level and is expected to make some noise in the postseason. He will have the chance to try and win a second Super Bowl in his career. It has been a career full of wins, MVP awards, and certainly a lot of money.
How Much is Rodgers' Worth?
When looking at a list of the highest-paid athletes, you will see plenty of soccer players along with tennis stars. Boxers, such as Floyd Mayweather, will top the list by a large margin when they fight. According to Forbes, Rodgers is not far behind the top paid athletes. Rodgers comes in as No. 7 on the list for 2019.
It begins with his contract for the Packers. Rodgers signed a four-year, $134 million contract in 2018. This contract will be worth $180 when it is all said and done thanks to bonuses. The deal guarantees Rodgers $103 million. Green Bay selected Rodgers with the 24th pick of the 2005 NFL Draft. He spent three seasons behind Brett Favre before being named the starter. It is safe to say that the Packers got their money's worth with their franchise quarterback.
Next comes endorsements. From June 2018 to June 2019, Rodgers made a total of $90 million in salary and endorsements. He signed with Adidas in 2015 after his contract with Nike expired. Rodgers purchased a minority stake in the Milwaukee Bucks in 2018. He is a longtime basketball fan and now owns 1% of one of the best teams in the NBA.
As of 2019, Rodgers has a net worth of $120 million. He is currently the second-highest-paid player in the big four sports leagues. He is one spot behind Russell Wilson and one spot ahead of LeBron James. Rodgers is signed through the 2023 season with a possible out after 2021. If Rodgers plays out his full contract, he will be 40-years-old and would have made $315 million in on-field earnings throughout his career.
