Who Are The Wealthiest NFL Players of All Time? The Answer is Far From What You’d Expect

Jerry Richardson – Halfback ~$2 Billion

Jerry Richardson is a former NFL player turned businessman. Jerry played as a halfback with Baltimore Colts for two seasons in 1959-60. Though Jerry did not spend much time as a professional football, he stayed in touch with the game by later founding his own NFL team. In 1979, with a fellow collegemate, Charlie Bradshaw, he launched his restaurant chain, Flagstar Foods. 

With a quick expansion of 2500 restaurants in a matter of a few years, the company made Jerry, a billionaire. He also became a proud owner of the NFL team Carolina Panthers by founding it in 1995, which he later sold in 2017 for an estimated $3 billion.
