Nadal and Brady are two athletes who transcend their respective sports and have become global superstars. They each own a team in the E1 Series, where eight teams fight it out for the title across seven races spread throughout the year. This is the inaugural season and the program has oodles of potential to grow.
Each team features two pilots, one male and one female. Team Nadal, the 22-time Grand Slam winner’s outfit, has gone with an orange and purple theme. The Spaniard, who has a bunch of other investments and initiatives, will hope this pays off as well. He owns a sports management company called Hi7tory, a venture capital company Aspemir, and the Rafa Nadal Academy.
Additionally, Rafael Nadal has a plethora of sponsors like Nike, Babolat, Kia Motors, Santander, Emporio Armani, Richard Mille, and Tommy Hilfiger. Overall, this has boosted the Rafael Nadal net worth to $323.61 million.
Meanwhile, NFL legend Brady owns Team Brady, opting for a combination of black and brown. This is not the first sports team in his investment portfolio. He is a stakeholder in the Las Vegas Raiders and the Las Vegas Aces of the NFL and the WNBA, respectively, and also the English soccer club, Birmingham City FC. The seven-time Super Bowl winner has a whole lot of other businesses, including a production house and a clothing brand. Add to that endorsements like Under Armour, Sam Adams, Foot Locker and Tag Heuer, and the Tom Brady net worth is reportedly $300 million (Parade).
While incredibly there isn’t much to differentiate them, Nadal edges out Brady by a whisker when it comes to wealth. This is also a commendable fact despite the fact that Tom Brady is an NFL legend and the NFL tends to pay most of their players better than what men’s tennis players earn from the ATP Tour and Grand Slams.
