Pat McAfee, a former NFL punter for the Indianapolis Colts and now a prominent sports analyst and commentator, has amassed a significant net worth of $60 million by 2024. His wealth comes from various successful ventures following his football career, including his podcast, The Pat McAfee Show, sports commentary, endorsements, and business investments.
McAfee played in the NFL from 2009 to 2016, earning millions during his tenure, notably signing a five-year, $14.5 million contract with the Colts in 2014. However, his financial growth skyrocketed after retiring from football. As of December 2024, McAfee’s salary is estimated at $17 million annually, primarily from a five-year deal with ESPN valued at $85 million, further bolstered by endorsement deals with major brands like FanDuel, DraftKings, Lululemon, and Twitch, though exact earnings from endorsements remain undisclosed.
In addition to his salary, McAfee has signed lucrative multi-year endorsement contracts, including a notable $120 million deal with FanDuel, amounting to $30 million annually. His investments in companies like Satisfying, Root, HIMS, Brava, and The Bitcoin Store have also contributed to his growing wealth. McAfee’s business acumen extends beyond media and sports; his diverse portfolio includes investments in startups, merchandise sales, live events, and real estate, ensuring his income streams remain varied and robust.
McAfee owns several properties, including a 10,000-square-foot home in Indianapolis, and has made investments in rental properties. His high-end car collection includes luxury vehicles like a Lamborghini Huracan and a Ford F-150 Raptor. These assets reflect his substantial financial success since leaving the NFL.
Charity also plays an important role in McAfee’s life. Through his Pat McAfee Foundation, he has raised over $500,000 for military scholarships and supports organizations like The V Foundation for cancer research and the Humane Society of Indianapolis. McAfee’s charitable work complements his public image as a committed philanthropist and advocate for various causes.
