11 Essential Facts For Football Fans

It's no secret that football players can make an almost obscene amount of money, so let's talk about Aaron Rodgers's net worth. But first, something for comparison.

It's no secret that football players can make an almost obscene amount of money, so let's talk about Aaron Rodgers's net worth. But first, something for comparison. When ESPN looked back at the career of Green Bay quarterback Bart Starr, they called him one of the team's most beloved players — even after his retirement. In his final year — and after five championships — he was given his highest salary: $100,000. That was in 1971 and adjusted for inflation, that's just shy of $700,000 in today's money.

When Spotrac took a look at Rodgers' career earnings, that started out with an impressive $2,350,000 for his rookie year. While his salary fluctuated, there were some high-earning years in his 18-year career, including 2018 — worth $66.9 million. As of 2022, his to-date career earnings totaled an impressive $305,608,010, and when they estimated his earnings through the 2026 season, they put the total at $450,373,010 — in other words, nearly half a billion dollars.

That puts something else in perspective, too. In 2021, he was fined $14,650 for violating the league's COVID-19 rules. (It was officially called a fine for Conduct Detrimental to the Team.) While that might sound like a lot, it was actually only 0.004% of his earnings to date.
