Rob Gronkowski Retires From The Nfl And He Never Spent A Dime Of His 60 Million Career Earnings

To me, Rob Gronkowski’s most impressive career accomplishment is the fact that he supposedly has not spent a dime of his $60 million NFL salary. Instead he’s lived exclusively off his various endorsement deals with companies like Tide, Nike, Dunkin’ Donuts, Visa, T-Mobile, Lyfy, Cheerios and Monster Energy. If true, it’s a very impressive accomplishment that should ensure Gronk never ends up one of the estimated 70% of all NFL players who end up broke within a decade of retiring. Gronk discussed his financial prudence in an interview with Business Insider a few years back: “I’d just say keep it simple. Keep it easy, and I’d say keep it simple. Get what you need to be comfortable, save the extra. Because you don’t know how long you’re going to be in the league for. It’s a short career here in the league. The average is about three to four years, and when it’s done, it’s done. Be simple, manage it safe, so when it’s done you’ve got a little base, a little foundation to live off.”
