Steve Young – $200 Million
Steve Young’s success extends beyond his legendary profession as an American football quarterback and seeps into his world of entrepreneurship. Known for his exceptional passing skills, he held the highest passer rating among all NFL quarterbacks upon his retirement. His journey to fortune and fame began in the USFL upon signing a groundbreaking $40 million contract with the Los Angeles Express.
But after the team’s eventual failure, Young moved on and became a veteran sports commentator, earning $2 million per year appearing on “Monday Night Football.” With a keen interest in finance and law, he co-founded an equity firm called Huntsman Gay Global Capital and is also the managing director.
