Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have ruled the world of football for over 15 years now, winning everything there is to win except the World Cup. Regardless, they have put their names down in history and are undoubtedly the two greatest players of all time for several football fans. Most fans have their preferences, and players like Diego Maradona and Pele are also in the conversation to be the greatest players of all time. However, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarter-back Tom Brady knows who he prefers. TOM BRADY AND HIS CONNECTION WITH FOOTBALL (SOCCER) In an interview with Sportags, Brady revealed that he follows football and loves the sport. He is an avid watcher of the sport and is also a Diego Maradona fan. On being asked to choose between Ronaldo and Messi, Brady went with the Argentina connection and chose Lionel Messi. “I think he is a great player, still, I’m older than him,” Brady said [https://www.elfutbolero.us/internationalplayers/Tom-Brady-revealed-who-he-prefers-between-Messi-and-Cristiano-Ronaldo-20210524-0052.html]. It would make sense that an NFL quarterback would choose a player like Messi, who creates plays for his teams and carries the ball forward frequently. Messi is also known for his assists and long cross-field passes, quite similar to an NFL player. CRISTIANO RONALDO AND LIONEL MESSI: THEIR SEASONS SO FAR Both Messi and Ronaldo changed clubs this season in one of the most dramatic transfer windows of all time. Messi left Barcelona to join Paris Saint Germain, and the move hasn’t worked out great. He has only scored one league goal in 12 appearances and needs to up the numbers. On the other hand, Ronaldo left Juventus to join his boyhood club Manchester United. He has scored 8 league goals so far this season and has added three assists in the Premier League in 18 appearances, a subpar output by his standards. Shocked- “I Have to Meet Her and Give Him My Approval” [https://www.essentiallysports.com/soccer-news-football-news-cristiano-ronaldo-jr-already-has-a-girlfriend-and-his-mother-is-shocked-i-have-to-meet-her-and-give-him-my-approval/] However, both of them have been outstanding for their clubs in the UCL this season. Ronaldo has scored six goals in five games, and Messi has scored five in five. It’ll be interesting to see who’ll have more goals at the end of the competition.

<h3 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center"><strong>Cristiano Ronaldo: </strong><strong>Career, Achievements, </strong><strong>Net Worth in 2024, </strong><strong>and </strong><strong>Personal Life</strong></h3>
Cristiano Ronaldo is possibly one of the greatest players of all time. While the debate regarding his 'greatest of all time' status will seemingly never come to an end, the fact that the Portuguese soccer legend has won the Ballon d'Or five times during his career gives him quite the upper hand.

While starting his career at his boyhood club, Sporting CP, the soccer veteran is currently making a difference in Saudi Arabia, at Al-Nassr. Between Sporting CP and Al-Nassr, Ronaldo established a healthy and long-lasting legacy at Real Madrid, <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/football/premier-league-2019-20/manchester-united/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Manchester United</a>, and Juventus.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Cristiano Ronaldo’s net worth 2024</strong></h2>
Cristiano Ronaldo's net worth is estimated to be around $500 million. The mighty Portuguese soccer legend is currently earning a jaw-dropping wage at Al-Nassr. Ronaldo is reportedly cashing out $74 million per season as just his base salary. His earnings will potentially rise to $207 million when commercial deals, image rights, and ambassadorial roles are kept in mind. This added to the fact that Forbes named Cristiano Ronaldo as the first active team sport athlete to surpass $1 Billion in career earnings back in 2022 is a sign that Ronaldo's 2024 net worth might just exceed the $500 Million mark.

The most prominent investment that drives his net worth upward is in the chain of hotels. The soccer veteran has been on board with the Pestana Group while building hotels in Madrid, Lisbon, New York, Marrakesh, and Funchal. Apart from that, he has an ever-famous lifetime deal running with Nike.

Cristiano Ronaldo has also endorsed brands like Herbalife, MTG, Clear, Garena Free Fire, Louis Vuitton, Live Score, TAG Heuer, and many more. Apart from that, he also drives forward his personal brand that caters to the fitness and clothing market.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center"><strong>Cristiano Ronaldo's early life and his family</strong></h2>
Cristiano Ronaldo was born to José Dinis Aveiro and Maria Dolores dos Santos. He is their youngest child. He grew up in a catholic home sharing a single room with all his siblings. Ronaldo has one elder brother, Hugo and two older sisters. His eldest sister, Elma, describes herself on Instagram as a digital influencer. Apart from that, the two of them still share a very healthy and strong bond with the soccer star.

Ronaldo only completed his schooling until the sixth grade. At the age of 14, he was seemingly hard-destined towards soccer as a career. Unfortunately, Ronaldo was diagnosed with a heart condition when he was just 15. After undergoing successful surgery for his tachycardia, he quickly recovered in order to live his dream.
<figure class="jsx-b9c5e7fc3c08d611">
<div class="jsx-181688575 es-image-loader-aspect-ratio"><img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" class="jsx-181688575" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Cristiano-Ronaldo-Manchester-United.jpg" /></div>

</figcaption></figure>
Ronaldo played his first bits of soccer for Clube Desportivo Nacional of Madeira. He then moved to an area near Lisbon and ended up joining Sporting CP's youth academy. The 6ft 1in striker originally started off on the ring wing. His ability to be able to handle the ball with both feet still mesmerizes opponents to date.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Cristiano Ronaldo and his mighty football career</h2>
Within a few years of joining Sporting CP, Ronaldo quickly rose up the youth ranks. On September 2002, he made his debut for Sporting in the Primeira Liga against Braga. Sir Alex Ferguson was thoroughly impressed by the raw Portuguese talent and signed him in 2003 for Manchester United. During his time at Manchester United, he won three Premier League Titles from 2006 to 2009, subsequently aligning with the club's widely accepted golden era.

Ronaldo's tenure at Manchester United was decorated with many goal-scoring records. However, his most acclaimed feat was when he scored 42 goals in the 2007-2008 season and secured a place on the best wingers in football history list. However, that was all for Ronaldo and Manchester United. The star player moved on to Real Madrid in 2009 with a transfer fee of €94,000,000 ($103,061,586.97). The greatest at that time.

Barring a short span at Juventus F.C, Ronaldo circled back to Manchester United. However, his homecoming to the United could not reap the same fruits as his debut. Ronaldo's second stint at United was met with a mutual contract termination in November 2022. This would make way for the CR7's foray into Al Nassr FC. Since joining Al Nassr, Ronaldo has scored his second hat trick for the club and 34 goals in the Saudi Pro League.

While his club career is a marvel in its own right, Ronaldo's achievements as the captain of the Portugal national team are not far behind. The Portuguese Forward won his first cup with Portugal in 2016 in the Euro Cup and then later in the 2018-19 National League Tournament.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">All other success Cristiano Ronaldo has achieved with Portugal's national team</h2>
Despite just a single piece of silverware at the Euros in 2016, Ronaldo has scored 128 goals in 205 appearances for his country. However, he has achieved quite a few personal milestones while playing for Portugal. He has scored the most international goals in soccer history and is the leading goal scorer in EURO and well, world history. In 2017, he scored 37 goals for his national side, the most by any player for his country.
<figure class="jsx-b9c5e7fc3c08d611">
<div class="jsx-1669353865 es-image-loader-aspect-ratio"><img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" class="jsx-1669353865" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago1005420472h.jpg" /></div>
<figcaption>
<p id="node---44368-figcap">via Imago</p>

</figcaption></figure>
Recently, he became the only player to score at five consecutive FIFA World Cups. He has the peculiar record of being the oldest player to score at a FIFA World Cup. He also holds the record for scoring against the most national teams, throughout his career.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Cristiano Ronaldo's club career and various achievements</h2>
Ronaldo has played for quite a few clubs throughout his career, namely Sporting Lisbon, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and Al-Nassr. At the club level, the 38-year-old has won the Champions League five times. He has also won three Premier League titles, two La Liga titles, and two Serie A titles.

At club soccer, the mighty Ronaldo has scored 710 goals and 203 assists in 959 appearances. He is the all-time top scorer in Real Madrid history with 450 goals. At Manchester United, Ronaldo scored a total of 145 goals. At Juventus, he scored 81 goals. Currently, the soccer veteran is making a name for himself at Al-Nassr after scoring 30 goals in 36 games already including two hattricks.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">All the off-field awards claimed by Cristiano Ronaldo</h2>
Keeping in mind his long-lasting legacy, Ronaldo has won the prestigious Ballon d'Or five times. He has won the trophy in 2008, 2013, 2014, 2016, and 2017. Apart from that, he has won the best FIFA Men's Player of the Year on two occasions in 2016 and 2017. He was the FIFA World Player of the Year in 2008.
<figure class="jsx-b9c5e7fc3c08d611">
<div class="jsx-2464436611 es-image-loader-aspect-ratio"><img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" class="jsx-2464436611" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago0026781936h.jpg" /></div>
<figcaption>
<p id="node---18696-figcap">via Imago</p>

</figcaption></figure>
He has won the European Golden Shoe in 2008, 2011, 2014, and 2015. Ronaldo won the Premier League Player of the Season in 2007 and 2008. Similarly, he won La Liga's best player award after the 2013-14 season. Serie A crowned the soccer veteran the Player of the Year in 2019 and 2020. Additionally, he won the Premier League Golden Boot for his prime 2007-08 season at Manchester United. As he entered a new chapter of his career with Al-Nassr, Ronaldo cemented another milestone by taking home the Maradona Award for Best Goal Scorer owing to his 54 goals throughout the year.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Cristiano Ronaldo's girlfriend and kids</h2>
Cristiano Ronaldo met his long-time girlfriend, Georgina Rodriguez in 2016. The two of them met at a Gucci store. At that time, Georgina was a salesgirl at a Gucci store in Madrid. Seemingly, there was a spark between the two of them immediately. They then met again at a Dolce and Gabbana event, a few days later. The rest was history.

The next year, they announced the birth of their baby daughter, Alana. Several years later, the celebrity couple announced that they were expecting twins. However, one of them tragically passed away shortly after birth. In <em>I Am Georgina</em>: Season Two, Georgina described that time as the worst moment of her life.
<figure class="jsx-b9c5e7fc3c08d611">
<div class="jsx-665263784 es-image-loader-aspect-ratio"><img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" class="jsx-665263784" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago0202849919h.jpg" /></div>
<figcaption>
<p id="node---31819-figcap">via Imago</p>

</figcaption></figure>
Prior to meeting Rodriguez, the soccer veteran already had three children. The first one of them is Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. He was born on June 17, 2010, in America. The mighty Ronaldo has still kept the mother's identity a mystery after gaining full custody of his child.

In 2017, Ronaldo fathered twins in the United States via a surrogate mother with the twins reportedly named, Eva and Matteo. In 2017, he had his first child with Georgina Rodriguez, a girl named Alana Martina. Later in 2021, the couple announced they were pregnant with twins. However, Ronaldo and Rodriguez bore the loss of losing a child while also welcoming another in 2022, a girl named Bella.

As of now, the Portuguese soccer legend has not announced anything regarding marriage. Once, during a conversation with Piers Morgan, he mentioned that he wasn't thinking about it. Technically, Ronaldo is breaking the law in Saudi Arabia. In the territory, it was illegal to live under the same roof if not married.

However, reports then suggested that the authorities in Saudi Arabia have turned a blind eye in this case, despite him being a top Al-Nassr player considering Cristiano Ronaldo is a foreigner.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Cristiano Ronaldo's foundations and charity</h2>
Cristiano Ronaldo supports the likes of UNICEF, Save the Children, AIDS Still Required, World Vision, and Cahonas Scotland among others. His most famous act of donation was when he raised $83,000 from his soccer boots and jersey for the operation of a 10-month-old baby.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Lionel Messi: Net Worth 2024, Personal Life, Career, and Endorsements</b></h2>
Today's generation categorizes Lionel Messi in a bracket that is beyond elite. The Argentine World Cup winner just turned 36 in June. Currently, with Inter Miami, Messi is on a mission to become the new face of soccer in America similar to <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/cristiano-ronaldo" target="_self" rel="noopener">Cristiano </a>Ronaldo's potential impact in Saudi Arabia. It's reported that he preferred to join Inter Miami over the likes of moving to Saudi.

Last December, he finally managed to win the FIFA World Cup with Argentina. In the famous words of Peter Drury, "<em>Scaloni will be fated, Messi will be sainted." </em>While everybody thought it was his last, it might just not be the case. With the USA as one of the host nations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the soccer veteran might surely hang around in the game for a bit longer.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Lionel Messi's net worth in 2024</h2>
Lionel Messi's current net worth in 2024 is $650 million. At Inter Miami, the Argentine soccer legend has signed a four-year contract worth $55 million. This contract had made him the highest-earning player in the MLS by far. It is also important to note that he rejected a $400 million+ Saudi Pro League offer compared to the Inter Miami one. Surprisingly, he still has a connection to Saudi.

In early 2021, he inked a $25 million deal and became the ambassador of the country. Apart from that, the Argentine also cashes out a huge pay cheque every year through his endorsements. In the past, he has endorsed several renowned brands like Jacob and Co., OrCam, Pepsi, Budweiser, Air Europa, Mastercard, Byjus, and many more.

He had originally signed with NIKE when he was 14 but later switched to Adidas. Currently, he is on a lifetime deal with the brand with his own sub-brand Adidas Messi. In recent times, he's been promoting his own store namely 'The Messi Store' a lot on social media.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Lionel Messi's early life and his family</h2>
On June 24, 1987, Jorge Messi and Celia Cuccittini gave birth to Lionel Messi. Out of four children, the soccer legend was third. He reportedly developed an interest in the game at a very young age. At the age of 4, his father started coaching him at a local club namely Grandoli. But his earliest influence was his maternal grandmother, who accompanied him for training at matches.

[caption id="attachment_842101" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-842101 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-11-29T192614Z_745585461_UP1EHBT1HZO4G_RTRMADP_3_SOCCER-BALLON.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1534" /> Soccer Football - The Ballon d'Or Awards - Theatre du Chatelet, Paris, France - November 29, 2021 Paris St Germain's Lionel Messi with his wife Antonella Roccuzzo and their sons before the awards REUTERS/Benoit Tessier[/caption]

That is why he celebrates many of his goals by pointing towards the sky to date, in tribute to his grandmother. At the age of six, he joined Newell's Old Boys. During his six-year tenure at the club, he scored almost 500 goals. At such a young age, he had become a fan favorite and also untouchable. But his soccer career was seemingly in jeopardy after he was diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency.

He then started receiving growth hormone treatment, but the medical bills were rapidly piling up. His father had to reportedly shell out at least $1000 per month. In an attempt to look for a medical sponsor and a new soccer club, Messi's family relied on some of their relatives who lived in Catalonia. And the rest is history.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Lionel Messi and his feat at FC Barcelona</h2>
Initially, FC Barcelona refused to sign him because of his age and also because he was foreign. But in December 2000, the club showed their commitment toward the player with the famous paper napkin. His family relocated to Barcelona and Messi joined the U14 team. Unsurprisingly, he excelled quickly. He scored 21 goals in just 14 games with the U14s and climbed up the ladder in his club career.

At the age of 17, he officially made his debut for the club's senior team. It was during the 2004-05 season. He became the youngest-ever official player and goal scorer in La Liga. In the next year, he won the UEFA Champions League with Barcelona. In 2008, he finished second behind Cristiano Ronaldo in the Ballon d'Or voting list. The following season saw him and his club win their first treble.

Under <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/pep-guardiola/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Pep Guardiola</a>, he scored 38 goals throughout the iconic 2008-09 season. After that, he simply repeated those audacious numbers every season. In the 2011-12 season, he was banging in goals for fun after he shockingly broke Gerd Muller's 39-year-old record. He scored 73 goals in all competitions. Here are some of Messi's noteworthy achievements during his long tenure at FC Barcelona.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Lionel Messi's other club team career</h2>
Due to several financial constraints for FC Barcelona, the club had to let Lionel Messi leave. A teary-eyed Messi then joined Paris Saint-Germain in 2021 to play alongside Kylian Mbappé and <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/neymar/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Neymar Jr</a>. The soccer legend signed a two-year deal with the club until June 23 with an additional extension. Messi chose to wear No. 30 at his new club. Messi's career at PSG was honestly very quiet.

More than appreciation, he ended up leaving the club on not-so-good terms. But he did have a few good moments in France. In August 2022, he provided a long-range assist for Mbappe in the starting eight seconds of the game. That became Ligue 1's second-fastest second goal ever. He ended his PSG career with 32 goals and 35 assists in 75 games initially under Pochettino and then Galtier. Here are his achievements with the club.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Lionel Messi's national team career and journey to the 2022 World Cup</h2>
Despite his success in Spain, Lionel Messi decided to represent Argentina. Spanish soccer officials reportedly tried to convince him as he had dual nationality but he refused. He represented his country's senior national team in the 2006 FIFA World Cup. Further, he won a gold medal at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. Meanwhile, Germany ended Messi's dream of winning the World Cup in 2010 and 2014.

Nonetheless, he still managed to win the Golden Ball at the 2014 World Cup. But the thirst and the desire remained. In 2016, he scored his 55 goal for the country breaking Gabriel Batistuta's record. After a third consecutive final loss in the Copa America, Messi decided to draw the curtains over his international career. But he made a comeback to the team two months later.

But his country's situation at international tournaments still didn't get better. France eliminated Argentina from the 2018 World Cup and they returned home with a third-place finish in the 2019 Copa America. But there was a sudden turn in their fate after that. It seemed like the Argentine squad had pretty much made up their mind about their short-term goals.

Messi won the Copa America in 2021 and then won the 2022 FIFA World Cup with Argentina. Despite his age, he was an ever-shinning presence on the field for his country. He scored two vital goals during the nail-biting World Cup final. Despite retirement rumors, he continues to represent his national team. Recently, he reached 100 international goals, becoming only the third player to ever do so. In total, he scored 106. After a stunning World Cup victory, Messi claimed his record-breaking 8th Ballon d'Or.

Lionel Messi and Antonela Roccuzzo have known each other since childhood. Several sources suggest that he has known her since the age of 5. He reportedly fell in love with her at the age of just 9. He knew her because she was Lucas Scaglia's cousin, who was his childhood friend. Despite knowing each other for years, they only went official with their relationship in 2009.

After dating for about nine years, Messi and Roccuzzo decided to tie the knot. The grand wedding ceremony took place on June 30, 2017, in Rosario. The power couple has three sons. <span style="font-weight: 400">They welcomed their first son, Thiago, in 2012</span>, followed by Mateo in 2015, and Ciro in 2018. Apart from that, Messi has always cherished his family roots in Rosario.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Lionel Messi's foundations and charity</h2>
Lionel Messi has been involved in charitable efforts aimed at vulnerable children. His commitment stems from the medical difficulties he faced in his childhood. Since 2004, he has contributed his time and finances to UNICEF. The organization has a strong association with FC Barcelona. He has even served as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador since his appointment in March 2010.

Further, he reportedly donated more than a million during the COVID-19 pandemic. Further, Messi donated three signed shirts to a Chinese pharmaceutical firm. That helped them secure 50,000 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.

Apart from that, Messi has also founded his charitable organization, the Leo Messi Foundation, which supports access to health care, education, and sports for children.

Tom Brady

Who is Tom Brady? Tom Brady is regarded as one of the NFL&#8217;s greatest quarterbacks of all time. He has won the most Super Bowls in NFL history and is considered one of the biggest steals in NFL Draft history. The New England Patriots drafted the Michigan prospect at 199th overall in the 2000 NFL draft. He stayed with the New England Patriots for 20 seasons, winning several divisional titles, nine AFC Championships, and seven Super Bowls. However, he left the Patriots and joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ahead of the 2020 NFL season.

(Photo by Norm Hall/Getty Images) After leading the Buccaneers to the Super Bowl LV trophy in 2021, Brady signed a 2-year extension with Tampa Bay. He retired after the 2021-2022 NFL campaign, following his Divisional Round loss against the Los Angeles Rams. However, he decided to return to the league after just 40 days. Alas, last year in 2023, Tom Brady said goodbye to his professional football career through a short but heart-warming clip. Now, he enjoys his time with his family and focuses on off-gridiron ventures. Tom Brady’s early life and family Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. was born in the state of California, in the city of San Mateo. He is the fourth child of Galynn Patricia and Thomas Brady Sr, before which they had three daughters. He was raised as a Catholic and belonged to a family of mixed ethnicities. While Brady is Irish from his father&#8217;s side, his mother belongs to a diverse ancestry of Sweden, Norway, Germany, and Poland. His father often jokingly calls himself the &#8216;Original Tom Brady&#8217;. Laying the foundation of an insurance company, the father of four transferred his work ethic and his zest to continue on the path of victory to his son. Brady Jr&#8217;s mother Galynn has always been known as the pillar of strength in his more than 2 decade-long career. She suffered through extremely tough times during her diagnosis of breast cancer but was quick to recover in 2017. His parents still live together in his childhood home back in California. As a child, Brady was raised in an extremely competitive environment with three sisters- Maureen, Julie, and Nancy. Maureen is the oldest of them all and remained inclined toward the sports world as well. She earned a name for herself by being the All-Star American softball pitcher at Fresno State. While she shifted her career path to nursing soon after, her sisters surely followed her into the game of softball. Nancy moved on from the sport to become a Public Health Technical Advisor. Julie, the sister who shares the closest bond with Tom Brady, married former Boston Red Sox player Kevin Youkilis. Currently, all three of them are busy raising their kids and living with their families, rarely gaining an opportunity to have a get-together.

He was known to be passionate about various sports from his school days, including Basketball, Baseball, and his future goal- Football. Tom Brady ended up securing 3702 yards and 31 touchdowns in his high school career. He went to the University of Michigan after completing his initial schooling, where he got a Bachelor of Arts in General Studies. There he gave up the opportunity to pursue professional baseball and focused on his football journey. Brady always credits Joe Montana and the San Francisco 49ers to be the massive reason behind his passion for the sport. That is what led him to continue with football despite not getting a chance to play in his University team for almost 2 years. Yet, after joining the side, the Quarterback secured 4773 passing yards and 30 TD passes in his college career. He led the Michigan Wolverines to become a strong side, remaining a squad member that grabbed the victory in the 1997 National Championship. While Brady was a known name in the college football world, he still entered the NFL only as the 199th pick of the draft. He was picked in the sixth round in 2000 by the New England Patriots. Astonishingly, he did not have a lot of hype surrounding him in his initial entry into the National Football League. Brady was the seventh QB to get selected that year. Yet, his long-time team Patriots recognized some passion and determination in him to make Brady a part of their squad despite hosting enough talent for the season. Tom Brady&#8217;s personal life Tom Brady&#8217;s dating life has been under the limelight since he rose to fame in the NFL arena. More often than not, it is his ex-wife Gisele Bündchen who is associated with the football legend. There have been a couple of actresses Tom Brady had dated before her. One of the prominent names is the &#8216;Sex and the City&#8217; star, Bridget Moynahan. They dated for more than a couple of years, and during this period, the actress was spotted with Brady on many occasions. These included the victory party after the New England Patriots beat the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl XXXVIII, the 2005 Vanity Fair Oscars party, and the 2006 Met Gala. Alas! The couple split in December 2006, and Brady started dating Bündchen. However, the following year, Moynahan announced that she was three months pregnant with Tom Brady&#8217;s child. Their son, John &#8220;Jack&#8221; Edward Thomas Moynahan, was born on August 22, 2007. Since then, Brady and Moynahan have been co-parenting Jack. The eldest son of Brady shares many traits with the superstar former quarterback. He enjoys playing many sports, including football and basketball. Gisele Bündchen has also been a vital part of his upbringing. Eventually, Tom Brady married Gisele Bündchen in 2009. They got married twice &#8211; the first ceremony was carried out at St. Monica Catholic Church in California and the second ceremony was at Bündchen&#8217;s Costa Rica home. NEW YORK, NY &#8211; MAY 06: Tom Brady (L) and Gisele Bundchen attend the Costume Institute Gala for the &#8220;PUNK: Chaos to Couture&#8221; exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 6, 2013 in New York City. (Photo by Michael Stewart/Getty Images) In June 2009, the supermodel announced that they were expecting their first child together, Benjamin Brady. Unlike his older brother, Benjamin isn&#8217;t much fond of sports. However, now and then he indulges in the game of football. In 2012, they were blessed with a daughter, Vivian Lake Brady. She is a fan of many sports, prominently, tennis and horse riding. Despite the love and support they showcased each other, the couple separated ways in October 2022. This was after Tom Brady returned to the NFL arena following his retirement earlier that year. The couple announced that their children are their utmost priority, and they will work together as parents to ensure that they receive love and attention. After Brady and Bündchen&#8217;s divorce, there were speculations about who the NFL legend might be dating next. Rumors aired of Tom Brady being involved with Russian model Irina Shayk. Per Page Six, the pair returned to Brady&#8217;s Los Angeles home after he picked Shayk up at Hotel Bel-Air last year. Similar speculations surrounded the duo from time to time. But nothing was confirmed from either of the parties. Just more than a week back, Us reported how the two have met several times a week and a source revealed that both Brady and Shayk are trying to maintain a relationship out of the public eye. Tom Brady&#8217;s net worth in 2024 The former NFL quarterback has a whopping net worth of $300 million and a salary of $30 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. He has been able to accumulate this lucrative wealth because of the glorious NFL career he has had. Apart from the football gridiron, Brady also owns several businesses and has numerous investments. During his time with the New England Patriots (2000 to 2019), Tom Brady was estimated to have earned $235 million in salary and bonuses, adding up to $350 million earned over his time with the New England Patriots. After this, when he joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he signed a $50 million contract, and then $15 million more was added to this in 2022. In the same year, Forbes listed Tom Brady as the highest-paid NFL player with $30 million in earnings on the field and $45 million through endorsements and business deals.

Henderson/Getty Images) Moreover, he has concluded his career undefeated against four franchises: Dallas Cowboys (7-0), Minnesota Vikings (6-0), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-0), and New England Patriots (1-0). As Tom Brady boasts several records to his name, one such feat was surpassed by Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. During their game against the Bills in the 2024 playoffs, Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes made their 16th career playoff touchdown together. This helped them break the previous record of 14 touchdowns held by Tom Brady and former TE Rob Gronkowski. Tom Brady&#8217;s NFL journey &#8211; coaches and teams In his over two-decade-long career, Tom Brady played for only two teams- the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. While he spent 20 years with the New England Patriots, he ended his career in 2022 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. During his time with the Patriots, the Quarterback revealed feeling lucky to have played under the &#8220;greatest coach in the NFL.&#8221; He was referring to the most experienced presence in the league and a person who is a constant name besides Brady- Bill Belichick. The coach and QB share a strong bond, which brought their side 17 Divisional titles besides the Super Bowl success. The Head Coach of the New England side played the most crucial role in his career. Head coach Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots and Tom Brady during a match at NRG Stadium. Image credit: Getty Another coach who was closely connected with Tom Brady was Josh McDaniels. He worked as the Patriots&#8217; Quarterback&#8217;s coach and Offensive Coordinator from 2004-08 and 2012-19. Brady often refers to McDaniels as his &#8220;Brother for life,&#8221; reflecting on the massive role the offense expert played in his journey. At last, it was the head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during Brady&#8217;s era who played a crucial role in his comeback. It was none other than Bruce Arians with whom the QB won his last Super Bowl, adding a star to the coaching legacy of Arians. The time with the New England Patriots saw Tom Brady at his peak. He became the most successful QB in the NFL under this side, also securing most Super Bowl victories for any side under a single Quarterback and Coach duo. How many Super Bowl wins does Tom Brady have? The NFL legend Tom Brady went on to win 6 Super Bowl titles (XXXVI, XXXVII, XXXIX, XLIX, LI, LII) with Bill Belichick as his coach under the Patriots. His time in Buccaneers&#8217; camp, though short, witnessed Tom Brady registering another Super Bowl title (LV) to his name under coach Arians. From his 7 SBs, he won the first Lombardi trophy against the Los Angeles Rams in 2002 with a score of 20-17. In 2004 and 2005, he grabbed back-to-back trophies against the Carolina Panthers and Philadelphia Eagles respectively. His fourth title came after a long gap of ten years in 2015 against the Seattle Seahawks, after which he soon grabbed the fifth title in 2017 against the Atlanta Falcons. The final trophy with the Patriots for Brady came against the Los Angeles Rams in the 2019 season. Later, he bid adieu to the NFL world with his last trophy in 2021 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Tom Brady&#8217;s retirement from the NFL and life after retirement The NFL G.O.A.T. retired on February 1, 2023, again. In 2022, he first announced his retirement but only to return 40 days later. However, last year, Tom Brady, through a social media post, announced, &#8220;Good morning, guys. I&#8217;ll get to the point right away. I&#8217;m retiring. For good.&#8221; Elaborating on the same, he thanked his family, friends, and fans and mentioned how he already made a &#8220;super emotional retirement essay.&#8221; Thus, this time, it won&#8217;t be long-winded.
