Rob Gronkowski’s net worth in 2024

Rob Gronkowski is worth $45 million in 2024, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Rob Gronkowski was born in Amherst, New York, in 1989. Gronk played hockey growing up and was a multi-sport athlete in high school. He blossomed into a football star and then moved to Pittsburgh for his senior season. While he was initially ruled ineligible to play, that was overturned and he could suit up. He then chose to play his college football at Arizona and was a star for two years before an injury knocked him out for his junior season. That caused his NFL Draft stock to fall.

Rob Gronkowski’s Patriots career

Gronkowski was ultimately drafted in the second round out of Arizona by the New England Patriots in 2010, where he had a very successful nine-year stint. In his almost-decade-long career with the Pats, Gronkowski racked up quite the hardware: four First-Team All-Pro selections, a handful of Pro Bowl appearances, and, three shiny Lombardi trophies. In nine years in Foxborough, the tight end earned more than $53 million in salary.

Though his initial contract money (reportedly just at $24.7 million) was a bit underwhelming for a superstar like Gronkowski, extra signing bonuses and incentives in his contract helped the tight end double that cash. And a majority of this $53 million career earnings stayed intact.

“I saved it throughout my whole career, which is very nice,” Gronkowski told FOX Business Network in September 2019. “I’m in a great place and that’s where I wanted to be. I mean, I’ve just been told throughout that the NFL is not for long.”

After nine successful years with Tom Brady and the Patriots, the tight end announced his early retirement at 29, citing that the numerous injuries suffered in his professional career had already affected his mental health. Of course, life after football wasn’t dull for the three-time champion.

He continued his thrifty journey outside the NFL, investing in companies like Gronk Fitness Products, his training product brand. He also served as an NFL analyst for FOX Sports and even signed a deal with WWE, which included hosting duties for WrestleMania 36.

Oh, he was also a WWE 24/7 champion. Add that to the trophy cabinet, Gronk.

Rob Gronkowski returns to the NFL

After a quick year off from the NFL, Gronkowski returned to professional football in the spring of 2020 to reunite with longtime Patriots partner Tom Brady in Florida with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With that return, Gronk and Brady led the Buccaneers to a heroic Super Bowl title over Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.

Gronk returned to the Buccaneers for the 2021 season to help them defend their title, but they unfortunately fell short in the playoffs against the Los Angeles Rams. While Brady retired but then unretired, Gronk decided to retire for a second time.

Rob Gronkowski made over $17 million in his two seasons in Tampa to hit over $70 million in NFL career earnings.

Rob Gronkowski becomes an analyst

Gronk recently flirted with another return in 2022, with the Buffalo Bills named as a suitor. However, the tight end decided against coming back. He spent the 2022 NFL season again doing work for FOX Sports. He took part in a Super Bowl commercial for FanDuel called “Kick of Destiny” in which he attempted a field goal on live television. There was some controversy over the commercial, but FanDuel paid out to all bettors and even made an increased investment despite Gronk’s miss.

Off the field, Gronk has proven time and time again that his portfolio game is just as strong as his gridiron play. As noted, he saved his NFL contract earnings and has relied on his endorsement deals to cover all his expenses. He had huge endorsement deals with brands like Nike, FanDuel, Dunkin’ Donuts, T-Mobile, Visa, and Monster Energy.
