Richest active QB Aaron Rodgers once bought a luxury villa worth $28 million like this to give to his girlfriend at the time..

If Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce buying a mansion in to spend more time with his girlfriend made headlines, Aaron Rodgers had gone even further. The 4x NFL MVP purchased a mansion with a price tag more than 3 times that of Kelce’s mansion. But the similarity lies in the fact that Rodgers had also bought the mansion to spend more quality time with his then-girlfriend; F1 driver, Danica Patrick.

According to Rookie Road, the New York Jets quarterback also happens to be the sixth richest NFL player of all time, and the richest active QB, with a net worth of over $200 million. So, what happened to the mansion after the two broke up in 2020?

Aaron Rodger’s $28 million investment survived his breakup

At the height of the sports power couple’s romance in 2020, which also happens to be the year they broke up, the two jointly purchased a luxurious beach-front mansion in Malibu, California. They had purchased the $28 million home from British pop icon Robbie Williams, as reported by The Richest.

The Mediterranean-style villa is spread across half an acre of land with 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, private access to the beach, and a stunning view of the Pacific Ocean. The home had been planned as just a summer escape, but eventually; the couple bought off the property. Even though the couple had purchased the mansion 50-50, Aaron Rodgers retained full ownership of it after their breakup.

However, the Malibu home is just one of a collection of luxury items that Aaron Rodgers owns.

Rodgers likes to live the good life

In addition to his NFL salary, he is also a business mastermind and has investments across the board. He is also the co-owner of an NBA team, the Milwaukee Bucks. Additionally, He’s an ad partner to Adidas, State Farm Insurance, and Pizza Hut. When he signed his $2 – $3 million deal with the insurance company, it became the most expensive endorsement deal in the NFL at the time.

The QB likes to spend as much as he likes to earn. A-Rod owns a $5.13 million Del Mar mansion and has an enviable car collection, which includes an $8 million Mercedes-Benz Maybach Exelero. By the way, $8 million is also the price of the mansion in the gated community that Travis had bought in order to get some much-needed privacy with Taylor Swift.

The future Hall of Famer turned 40 a few days ago and is still going strong, but 78% of all athletes go broke a few years after retirement. So, it is inspiring to see him invest his money for his life after football.
