Legendary NFL quarterback and seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady is now part-owner of a fourth professional sports team.
Weeks after retiring from football in 2023, Tom Brady announced that he became a part-owner of the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces, which are owned by Mark Davis. A few months later, he became a part-owner of Birmingham City football team.
In October, Brady was approved as a part-owner of the NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders, also owned by Davis. Now, he apparently has a fourth professional sports team in his repertoire.
According to reports, the three-time Super Bowl champion is also now a part-owner of the Birmingham Phoenix team, which is a cricket team based in Birmingham, England. Brady has a business partner named Tom Wagner, who co-founded Knighthead Capital Management.
Per Jeff Benson of Front Office Sports, Knighthead Capital Management’s 49 percent bid for Birmingham Phoenix was approved. Brady is an investor in Wagner’s company:
“Over a quarter of the new investments—£144 million ($173 million)—was pledged by an ownership group led by Palo Alto Networks CEO Nikesh Arora that also includes tech CEOs Sundar Pichai (Google), Satya Nadella (Microsoft), and Shantanu Narayen (Adobe). That group bought a 49% stake in the London Spirit.
Another group, Knighthead Capital Management, successfully bid £40 million for a 49% stake in the Birmingham Phoenix—a natural outgrowth of its ownership of Birmingham City football club.”
Brady made hundreds of millions of dollars during his playing career, with much of that cash coming in endorsements. In addition to his sports ownership, the 47-year-old has a lucrative $375 million broadcasting deal over 10 years that he signed with Fox in 2022.
Tom Brady Wraps Up First Season In Fox Broadcast Booth
The future Hall of Fame inductee called Super Bowl 59 between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles with play-by-play commentator Kevin Burkhardt and sideline reporter Erin Andrews. The Eagles closed out the season with a 40-22 blowout win over KC, Brady’s first Super Bowl in the broadcast booth.
Brady will now get a seven-month break from broadcasting before returning to the booth with his Fox colleagues in September. In the meantime, he and Davis will get to work in trying to help the Raiders re-emerge as a playoff contender following a disappointing 4-win season that led to the dismissals of head coach Antonio Pierce and GM Tom Telesco.
