Joe Namath is definitely not one of those former NFL stars who are surprisingly poor. In addition to earning him the nickname "Broadway Joe," his stunning career on the gridiron paid off handsomely, as did the opportunities that arose from it after he retired from the field. Now in his seventies, Joe Namath is worth $25 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. The majority of his time in pro football he spent with the New York Jets, but he finished up his career with a final season playing for the Los Angeles Rams.
Namath also had a successful career in entertainment. In 1969, he hosted his own show, The Joe Namath Show, a talk show that lasted one season. He later went on to appear in flims and TV shows, like The Brady Bunch, The Love Boat, Married... With Children, and more. He has also had several appearances on The Simpsons, providing the voice for his character on the show.
Some of his fortune has also been made from his endorsements of products like Hanes, Noxzema, and Ovaltine. In 1975, he was pulling in $1 million from endorsements, which was the most any celebrity had made endorsing products by that time. He also opened a nightclub in New York City's Upper East Side in 1969, but later sold his interest in the business after it became a hot spot for members of criminal organizations.
