Drew Brees (New Orleans Saints) – $160M
With his precise throws and pure grit on the gridiron, Drew Brees, the 41-year-old New Orleans Saints quarterback, is still picking apart defenses. He’s arguably the best passer ever seen in the National Football League. Although Brees replaced Chargers QB Doug Flutie on numerous occasions because of injuries, he always had to fight for a starting position, particularly after the club acquired Philip Rivers in 2004. Brees left and joined the Saints after two seasons as the Chargers’ starting quarterback. The rest is history. At present, Brees has a net worth of $160 million.

Steve Young, a longtime quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers, is one of only a few NFL players who went on to be a successful businessman.

After the league’s demise, he signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and was later transferred to San Francisco, where he served for three years as Joe Montana’s backup. The net worth of Steve Young has far exceeded the other quarterbacks on this list, coming in at around $200 million.
