Not one of, the wealthist. Made over 500 mil when he sold his come company to LaSalle company. More than any NFL player in history and that includes Peyton and his off field ventures with Papa Johns, and Elway that owned car dealerships in Denver. Stabauch is a stud! He truly is Captain America!
hE MAY BE #2, the guy Richardson who owns the carolina panthers , was a former GB packer under lombardi.
He made a lot somehow to be able to buy the team, and has had it a good while, so I think he would be # 1.
He should be a billionaire.

1. Jerry Richardson — $1.1 Billion
That’s right, billion with a ‘b’. Richardson, the owner of the Carolina Panthers, was a Carolina native who played for the Colts (the Baltimore Colts, mind you) in the early days of the NFL, hooking up withno less than legendary quarterback Johnny Unitas for a touchdown in the 1959 championship game. As you may have guessed by his place on the list and the time in which he played, endorsements didn’t help Richardson earn his money: he got rich in the fast food industry, franchising his first Hardee’s in 1961 and expanding from there.
While Richardson has a mixed reputation among NFL fans — he allegedly called out Peyton Manning and Drew Brees during the NFL lockout, for example — he’s made at least one Panthers fan directly, when he responded to a 12 year old’s inquiry to fandom with a handwritten letter and some signed memorabilia.
2. Roger Staubach — $600 Million
What is a Roger Staubach, and why is it worth so much money? A Roger Staubach is a former NFL quarterback (to the shock of absolutely no one) who was good at football, leading the Cowboys to a pair of Super Bowl victories, winning an MVP, and being a six-time Pro Bowler. Staubach, who worked as a real estate broker during the off seasons, because “I was 27 and we had three children,” the mogultold Forbes “If I got hurt, I knew I had a family to provide for, and it was not crazy money in the NFL then.”
Shortly after his 1979 retirement, Staubach began expanding his real estate company. It grew so large and so successful that Staubach was able to sell the company to Jones Lang Lasalle in 2008 for $640 million dollars. According to Forbes, Staubach had only owned 12 percent of the company when he sold it, having given out equity to his employees as the company grew. So, in addition to being the richest NFL athlete ever, he’s also a pretty nice dude.
