Biography & Early Wealth Journey

We won't see Brady making major personnel decisions quite yet, though. ESPN reported that any deal would be a "passive" one, where Brady wouldn't have control over team operations financially or on the field.

At least 24 team owners would have to approve a deal with Brady for him to become a limited partner. He's likely to find that approval, however. Though he's certainly caused enough torment for almost every NFL franchise, he's a recognizable name and face and having him among the owners would be beneficial.

Primary Income Streams & Multi-Million Contracts

Brady pursuing a piece of the Raiders also won't impact his deal with FOX, which will begin in 2024. The TV network airs Sunday football games and will pay Brady $375 million over 10 seasons. That's more than Brady earned via NFL contracts during his 23-year career — his on-field earnings were about $333 million.

Of course, should a deal with the Raiders go through, Brady likely wouldn't be on the call for any of the team's games. A passive stake is still ownership in a team, and it's hard to remain neutral in a setting like that.

Either way, it's clear that Brady isn't done with football just yet. The only difference is he'll now be conquering it in new avenues.
