Rob Gronkowski Says He’s Never Spent Any of His NFL Money

Bro lowkey smart
Edit: I just read into this. Gronk banked all his NFL money which is around $70 million. He lived off endorsements and off the field gigs. Dude gave himself a safety blanket
This is pretty old news. He may have said it recently but he also said this back in 2022
Age old news… he only spent his endorsement money and invested all of his signings. He lives simplistic life style too and doesn’t spend on jewelry etc.
People tagged him as a dumb/frat guy for his silly nature but never realized his smartness and ability to understand playbook etc. NFL should seriously hire him as financial mentor for all new players.
Dude played the meat-head personality so well. Made dozens of millions of dollars on endorsements from being the big lovable savage goofball that he never had to touch a dime from his NFL paycheck
It’s ironic that people joke about Gronk being the stereotypical college jock/frat boy. When he is actually really damn smart.
Edelman has called him lowkey Rain Man
Still crazy how many football players go broke after they are done in the league…
Good for him.
And he’s getting paid more now than he did as a player
No one can make $100 million last a lifetime, he must be smart! Ps. This is a jab at Odell, not Gronk
Apparently very good at math but English not so much. SAT score was like 75% from math score.
I’ll never forget Brady staying in to get his friend paid
Invest wisely, live off of the interest and dividends and live below your means. Let the principal grow (double it every 7-10 years) and create a legacy for your family. It’s the last part most athletes neglect – thinking their careers will last as long as Tom Brady’s. What’s the average career in the NFL? 3.2 years? Something like that…which means you’re effectively still on your rookie contract but living a lifestyle like you’ve been playing at an All-Pro level and earning those big dollars. Sad…

Such a smart, good boychik.
This has been posted every couple months for maybe 10 years now… we get it
He made over $70 million as a player.
With very conservative investing strategies, to tap into his NFL money he would have to spend about $4 million a year. Additionally that $4 million number does not include take into consideration anything he makes from his side ventures, media (fox etc), podcast (dudes on dudes) earnings or endorsement deals.
Yes there are many NFL players that blow their money and get scammed byt the overwhelming majority of NFL players are in this situation.
IMO for anyone who has even basic financial sense, this is the dumbest comment to mame once he surpassed a few million in earnings.
$1 mm = about $50k annually with zero federal income tax with T-Bills currently.
Even Gronk know Crypto not real money
Fox treats him likes he’s the village idiot
He acts like a dumb jock but it’s obvious that he is definitely not.
Good for Gronk. I remember watching a podcast (it might be a guest on Cam Newton’s podcast) where an NFL player said that once he made money, all of it went to the side of the family tree. Parents, siblings, cousins, etc. It wasn’t nonsense spending either, it was to send people to college, to get them out of the hood, etc. But that eats up millions of after-tax money.
Then he met a rich white guy and realized that the white family sent all the money down the family tree: to the kids, grand kids (that they didn’t even have yet), and great grand kids. His mind was blown because it literally never occurred to him that money can go down the family tree because he didn’t have kids yet and relatives never passed money down to him. Something so simple is mind blowing knowledge to someone that is multi-generational broke.
Seen him at a Qdoba over at Legacy Place once. I believe it lol
I mean based off what I know from when he was actually on the team, that 100% adds up
The dude works. He is making appearances all the time, he was on NYE all night
Dude is stupid smart when it comes to math, Edelman talks about him. He pretends to be some dumb jock, but there is a reason he succeeded under a guy like BB, and Tom Brady
Too busy sleeping on his homies couches and partying. Haha. Great to hear an athlete that didn’t go broke👍
I’m pretty sure Jayson Tatum said something along the lines of he was doing this as well
And now he gets paid by beer companies to party and host events. Gronk is smart and played the dumb jock character perfectly
The irony of the dopiest NFL player in recent memory NOT being one of the many players who end up bankrupt or say things like “$100m isn’t even enough to live off of (OBJ, paraphrased)” is absolutely delicious.
I’m not even a Pats fan, and I love Gronk. He’s a lot smarter than how he comes across. More power to him. He definitely earned it for the abuse his body took.
And Smart enough to leave to have most of his mobility down the road.
