Tom Brady – 126
One might expect American football players to be all brute and force. Well, what happens if brute and force were to have a 126 IQ score? You’d easily get a decorated career and immediately be put in the ranks as one of the greatest football players ever to play. Tom Brady is undoubtedly an exception as he used his IQ and savvy to carve out a career that has numerous championships. You definitely won’t see Tom Brady throw out any pass that’s unlikely of his IQ or his coach’s play call.
Tom Brady defies the sports figure stereotype that goes broke as he nears the end of his career. He’s currently valued at $200 million with another $50 million-contract coming in. Of course, the star athlete didn’t just get to his $200 million fortune through his career earnings only. He’s also a smart chap who makes significant real estate investments every now and then to increase his net worth. Because of this, we give Tom Brady our praise for being more than just a football player and quarterback.
