After not finding a place on any team’s roster since 2016, Colin Kaepernick has always found a way to money. Whether it is for charitable organizations or for his personal means, Colin is good at making things work. From being a published author to bagging a shoe deal with Nike, he has tried out his hands in many things. He once signed a book deal, which made him a fortune.

Kaepernick enjoyed a good career, including a Super Bowl appearance. However, after his national anthem protest in 2016, he has been virtually out of the NFL. Consequently, he turned to other sources of income.

Surprisingly, he is a New York Times Best Seller as well. Kaepernick’s book, ‘I Color Myself Different,’ got published in 2020 and debuted as no. 1 in New York Times. He continues to produce his written work as a form of expression of himself off the field.

Incidentally, Kaepernick signed a book deal with Random House imprint One World worth more than $1 million. It added more value to his $20 million net worth, and more is yet to come for him.

Kaepernick also has a series named ‘Colin in Black and White’ that streamed in 2021. It captures the life of the former QB, now turned activist, through his high school years. Netflix paid him a little less than $10 million.

While the book deal added more money to his net worth, the royalties from his shoe deal and Netflix are enough to enjoy a good life. But Kaepernick is embracing the author in him, and who knows what’s more to come.
