Colin Kaepernick | $20 Million

Colin Kaepernick is an American professional football player who has played six seasons in the NFL and has earned a total of $43 million in salary. Kaepernick has since become a free agent. Currently, it is reported that he has a net worth of 20 million dollars, while still earning a yearly salary of 12.4 million dollars. Kaepernick has plenty of endorsements with some of the biggest brands.

Nike is reportedly still paying him a contract equivalent to the current NFL star athletes, worth millions of dollars a year, including royalties from the Kaepernick clothing line.

He may have lost money after it, but Kaepernick has earned the respect of many young athletes around the world.
