Eli Manning Net Worth: In the Shadow of his Brother

The Eli Manning net worth of $102.4 million comes almost entirely from salary and endorsements and is about half of big brother Peyton’s total wealth. Manning has earned total NFL salary of $174 million from three different contracts with the New York Giants since his rookie year in 2004. He has also connected with an estimated $69 million in endorsement pay for a total of $243 million. That’s a lot of financial yardage but taxes and expenses drop a red flag on $154 million of it, while investments add back a fat $14 million.

Eli Manning Net WorthWhen it comes to money, Eli Manning doesn’t quite measure up to big bro Peyton yet. Eli is 35, which gives him another five years to catch his older sibling. That’s entirely doable, but right now the Eli Manning net worth total of $102.4 million is a little over half as big as Peyton’s $191 million. It’s also 40% smaller than rival Tom Brady’s net worth of $172 million. Compared to younger quarterbacks, the littlest Manning’s net worth soars at four times the size of Carolina Panthers star player Cam Newton with $32 million. Outside the NFL, Manning’s worth comes to less than half of LeBron James’ total wealth of $223 million. It’s also about a quarter the size of pop star Beyonce’s $336 million. Sidestepping into pro wrestling, Manning has five times more wealth than ring celeb John Cena at $24.3 million. If you think Eli is rich you’re absolutely right, but that doesn’t stop presidential hopeful and real estate king Donald Trump from having 51 times more wealth at $5.18 billion or the world’s greatest philanthropist Bill Gates from having 782 times more with just shy of $80 billion.

The Eli Manning net worth story starts in 2004 with his rookie year for the New York Giants. Back then Manning signed on with a base salary of $1.7 million and a signing bonus of $500,000 for total NFL money of $2.2 million. That’s high for a rookie player and it shows that Manning was either spotted as raw talent from his NCAA success or banked on the success of his older brother, or maybe both. From there his salary doubled every few years until it hit its present level of $24.2 million. Luckily for everyone who’s famous, the money doesn’t stop with salary but gets a big endorsement deal multiplier too. Manning’s endorsement contracts have given him a push, ensuring the nice steep slope in the net worth timeline above. See below for details on Manning’s endorsement deal income.
