The former couple joined the Cryptocurrency hype back in 2021 as they aligned themselves with FTX. Their deal saw Brady bag an astounding $30 million while his ex, Gisele bagged a staggering $18 million. But the catch was that they’d be paid mostly in stock options and not in cash. In hindsight, this has culminated in the duo losing 7% of their combined net worth, 10% for the former Bucs man, while Gisele lost almost 3%.
