Rob Gronkowski Says He Hasn't Spent His NFL Salary

He credits frugal habits with living off endorsements to cover expenses.

Overview

  • On December 30, the 36-year-old told the Bussin' With the Boys podcast he has "technically" not touched his NFL pay.
  • He said the only exception was a $50,000 marketing advance from agent Drew Rosenhaus that he used for a car and housing in New England.
  • Gronkowski described early-career frugality, including a roommate, $1,500 monthly rent and team-facility meals, while using off-field income for living costs.
  • Career contract payouts total an estimated $72.5 million, according to TalkSport, which he says he preserved by spending endorsement earnings instead.
  • Coverage notes a Bodyarmor equity windfall after Coca-Cola’s acquisition, ongoing Fox broadcasting work, and outside estimates of at least $10 million in annual business income and a $45 million net worth.
