Russell Wilson: ~ $135 Million

Seahawks quarterback, Russell Wilson easily earns $30 million per year and has an estimated net worth of $135 million. Unlike other professional football players in the NFL, he enjoys a steady stream of 7-digit salaries that never fluctuates. In fact, Wilson will reportedly receive $107 million in guaranteed money as per his 2019 contract. That’s after receiving a $65-million signing bonus. This makes him one of the highest-paid athletes in the world. In 2015, he purchased a massive property in Bellevue, Washington for $6.7 million. Between June 2018 and June 2019, Wilson earned an estimated $90 million in total from his various investments and ventures.

Russel is a great example of a top-tier athlete that makes top-tier decisions on money, financial resources and business strategies. It is rare to see a professional athlete manage his own money so well given the fact that most athletes today would spend their money nonchalantly on unnecessary things.
