Russell Wilson Net Worth: How Much Is Seahawks QB Salary And Earnings?
Russell Wilson's net worth is fit for a star QB but is her wife, popstar Ciara, earning more than him?
Wilson’s net worth is around $100 million, according to Cheat Sheet. This is a lot considering he is still at his peak and can make more endorsement deals in the future.
In April this year, Wilson signed an extension with the Seattle Seahawks that would see him play until 2023 and receive $86.7 million. Included in the deal is a signing bonus worth $65 million which makes him the ultimate cash king of NFL quarterbacks.
For comparison, his wife, Ciara, has a net worth of $20 million, per Cheat Sheet. The power couple has a daughter named Sienna Princess Wilson, while the NFL star acts as stepfather to Ciara’s kid Future Zahir Wilburn.
The 30-year-old QB has other endorsements outside NFL. He has represented brands such as Wilson Sporting Goods, Amazon, Alaska Air Group, Bose, Mercedes-Benz and Nike. With these relationships in place, he seems to be set in life. But it looks like Wilson is not done yet. He started a brand management firm West2East Empire.
He also started a business venture called TraceMe with other investors such as Jeff Bezos, Chard Hurley, Joe Tsai and Madrona Venture Group. TraceMe evolved to Tally in 2018. The app allows the stats, plays and scores to be predicted by fans, sports groups and broadcasters.
Nike was so impressed that they decided to acquire the app as it believes it can bring sports closer to fans and audience. TraceMe's technology can be used to monitor performance of athletes and eventually allow fans to interact with their idols. As such, Wilson joins other athletes who have started business ventures outside sports such as LeBron James and Kevin Durant.
With his fat bank account, Wilson does not forget to give back. Per Afrotech, instead of giving away cars or expensive watches, Wilson gifted 13 Seahawks offensive linemen with Amazon stock. The reported worth of the stocks is $156,000. The QB claims that it is important that players give a thought about their life after playing.
Wilson also likes to drive fancy cars. He owns a Tesla, Mercedes Benz G63 AMG, Range Rover and Audi. In February 2019, he surprised Ciara with two brand new Mercedes-Benz G-Wagons worth at least $124,500 each.
