Former New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski may seem immature at the surface, when it comes to his finances, the future Hall of Famer isn’t dumb.

After his entire NFL career salary, as well as what’s leftover in endorsements, Gronk's net worth definitely matches his gigantic personality.

Robert James Gronkowski may be the best tight end in NFL history, despite knee and back injuries that led to his retirement. Gronk started his high school career Amherst, New York before playing his senior year in Pennsylvania.

Gronkowski played two seasons at the University of Arizona and was a Freshman All-American. After college, Gronkowski was a second-round pick in the 2010 NFL Draft.

Gronk played just nine seasons — all with Tom Brady and the New England Patriots — winning three Super Bowls, including in his last year against the Los Angeles Rams.

Gronk caught 521 passes for 7,861 yards and 79 touchdowns. He was selected to the AFC Pro Bowl team five times and was a First-Team All-Pro selection four times. He ranks 14th in NFL history in receiving yards and dominated in the playoffs.

In nine seasons, Gronkowski made $24.7 million in contract money with just one season making more than $5 million. Thankfully, signing bonus and contract incentives helped him rack up the money. Thanks to endorsement deals with Nike, Dunkin’ Donuts, and Monster Energy, Gronk went his entire NFL career without spending any contract money, saving most of his career earnings.

After football, Gronkowski invested in businesses like Gronk Fitness Products and does appearances for big-name brands.

Today, Rob Gronkowski’s net worth is estimated around $40 million with a ton of money for the football player to make outside the sport.

If he does return to the NFL, he'll only add to his resume as arguably the greatest tight end ever!
