Investment Income and Peyton Manning Net Worth
Peyton Manning is a savvy investor. He boosted his net worth in a 2012 deal that gave him ownership of 21 Papa John’s pizza restaurants in Denver, CO. This probably isn’t the quarterback’s first investment. We figured on 10% annual returns adding to our Peyton Manning net worth calculations since 1998. However, the star’s investments also had to weather the financial crises of 2001 and 2008. We figured on a 40% drop of Manning’s net worth in each of those years. By our calculations, Manning earned over $18 million in investment income in 2015. He may have lost $4 million and $37 million in 2001 and 2009 respectively. Total additions to Peyton Manning’s net worth from investments come to $64 million. However, taxes would take a chunk of that money if Manning cashed in his chips. We therefore estimate lifetime investment income of $35 million adding to Peyton Manning’s net worth.
