The National Football League (NFL), you might have noticed, pays some pretty decent salaries. This gives the players who commit to the athletic pursuit of the NFL the chance to make genuine life-changing money every single week of their careers. Some of them squirrels this money away and use it for philanthropic purposes – others just live like lords. Who, then, are some NFL players who tend to enjoy a more luxurious lifestyle?
Aaron Rodgers
The Green Bay Packers star has been around for some time and is seen by many as one of the best players of his era. His success has brought him plenty of dollars, too, and his massive collection of high-end sports cars and his incredible properties – filled with spas, swimming pools, fitness centers, and more – all add up to some pretty crazy valuations. He has been an NFL star since he came into the league in 2005, though.
Earl Thomas
Another name who has lived up to the luxurious lifestyle we expect of NFL stars is Earl Tomas. He signed a multi-year contract with the Baltimore Ravens and has put that large contract to good use. Just look into his collection of luxurious and high-end vehicles. The range of vehicles he owns is both diverse and unique and leaves motorheads all around the world with the green-eyed monster intact when they see his fleet of dream cars.
Adrian Paterson
Now retired, Adrian Paterson was an NFL star who made his money playing hard. He is the owner of some pretty incredible property and has bought a mansion worth more than $6m alone in the Texas area. He also owns nine acres of land around this property and can show us a pretty incredible standard of life from his castle-like property. Most of us live week to week, but Paterson can boast a property collection that would make even the most ambitious of landlords squirm.
