Just six weeks after announcing his retirement from the NFL, Tom Brady changed his mind, telling the world he wasn’t ready to hang up his American football boots after all. And who can blame him when the perks of his profession are so clear for all to see?
Aside from his multimillion-dollar Florida estate, personal chef and lavish holidays, the 44-year old also owns a car collection thought to be worth US$5 million.

According to the Car Collectors Club, Brady’s massive garage houses more than 15 vehicles, including two exotic supercars, three luxury sports cars, two custom sports utility vehicles, and two everyday electric family cars.

But Brady’s wheels weren’t always this lavish. The same article notes that the football legend built his car collection from the ground up, purchasing a humble US$200 1967 Dodge Dart from his sister in his younger years.

After making it big as a pro footballer, he reportedly treated himself to a 2004 Cadillac Escalade and the rest, as they say, is history. Now Brady continues to acquire one luxury car after another.
The most expensive of the lot is his Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, which is reportedly valued at US$3 million. The luxury car company reportedly manufactured only 450 Veyrons in 10 years and, aside from Brady, other known celebrity owners of the famed vehicle include Tom Cruise, Jay-Z and Simon Cowell.

In 2019, Brady was spotted driving a Rolls-Royce – considered a must-have in any millionaire’s car collection. Brady owns a 2015 Rolls-Royce Ghost that is estimated to be worth US$400,000. It is a model known for its handsome profile, aluminium and wood dash trims, and impressive 6.6-litre V12 engine.
He also reportedly bought a Tesla Model S, which is valued at around US$95,000. In fact, according to the Car Collectors Club, both Brady and wife Gisele Bündchen are big fans of electric vehicles, preferring to use them rather than other cars for carting the kids around.
In 2017, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback signed a deal with luxury British sports car maker Aston Martin, and is said to have been given an Aston Martin DB11 to commemorate the partnership. It was the 2017 model that’s worth just under US$212,000.

During his career high as NFL MVP, Brady also got to design a car himself. In collaboration with Aston Martin, the brand released a “Tom Brady Signature Edition” Vanquish S Volante in late 2017, and just 12 were made. Brady has one in his own garage, of course. The Brady-designed vehicle is said to be worth US$359,950.

And let’s not forget Brady’s 2015 Ferrari M458-T. The sexy supercar can reach 60mph in less than 3 seconds and is estimated to be worth around US$230,000.
According to the Car Collectors Club, Brady’s garage also includes an Audi R8, a Range Rover, a Cadillac Escalade, a Lexus GS, a BMW X5, an Audi S5 and a Lexus RX, among others.
Something tells us with his return to the NFL, Brady will be adding more very soon.
