T.J. Watt (Pittsburgh Steelers) – $10 Million

T.J. Watt is the younger brother of professional football players J. J. Watt and Derek Watt. Despite that, he has carved a uniquely successful path for himself as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ outside linebacker since 2017. He was a finalist for the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award in 2019 and 2020 and finally bagged the award in 2021.

Watt signed a four-year extension with the Steelers in 2021, with over $112 million in his bank, making him the highest-paid defensive player in the National Football League. With all these, it is unsurprising to see him accumulate a fortune of approximately $10 million.
