What is Joe Namath’s Net Worth?

Joe Namath is a retired American football quarterback who has a net worth of $25 million. Namath also referred to as “Broadway Joe,” was a quarterback who started his career with the New York Jets before moving on to the Los Angeles Rams to complete it.

Joe is revered in popular culture away from the pitch. In addition to hosting chat shows, he developed into a well-known actor and publicist. Later, the NFL’s “greatest character” award went to him.

Childhood

Joseph William Namath was born on May 31st of 1943 in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. Joe is the working-class son of six siblings who were raised in a Catholic home.

Namath lived with his mother following the divorce of his parents. In high school, Joe played on the football, basketball, and baseball teams, which quickly made his prowess as a “natural athlete” clear.

Numerous baseball teams made an effort to sign him to the Major League Baseball after his high school graduation in 1961. Namath’s mother encouraged him to pursue a college education, but he decided on football instead.

He later enrolled at the University of Alabama and participated in sports with the Crimson Tide. Namath led the Crimson Tide’s offense from 1962 through 1964. He helped the group win a national championship in 1964.

Career

Namath was signed by the New York Jets after a cartilage injury to his knee disqualified him from the Vietnam War draft (who then played in the AFL). After appearing on the cover of “Sports Illustrated” in 1965, he earned the moniker “Broadway Joe.”

Namath won the award for AFL Rookie of the Year during his rookie campaign. He still had knee problems, though, unfortunately.

In Super Bowl III, which took place just before the NFL and AFL combined into one, Joe Namath played the best game of his life, defeating the Baltimore Colts after having personally guaranteed the victory days earlier.

After completing eight passes for 133 yards to George Sauer on his own, he was named the Super Bowl game’s MVP. Over the following time, Namath battled injuries and started missing games for the first time in his career.

Joe managed to defeat the Colts while throwing for 496 yards as he proceeded to dazzle spectators. This is often regarded as the best passing play in a single game, according to several analysts.

He transferred to the Los Angeles Rams toward the end of his playing career. He was unable to cap off his career well due to a number of ailments, thus he decided to retire at the end of the 1977 campaign.

Salary

The NFL’s St. Louis Cardinals and the AFL’s New York Jets, both of which were at the time, selected Joe in the draft. Both the Jets and the Cardinals selected him in the first round, at number one.

Joe carefully weighed the two draft offers. He requested a new Lincoln Continental and a salary of $200,000 from the Cardinals.

He astounded the Cardinals with his demands, but they eventually gave in under the stipulation that he make a written commitment to them prior to the Orange Bowl.

Joe was reluctant to sign a professional contract because it would have disqualified him from participating in the Bowl game. He ultimately participated in the Orange Bowl and the next day signed a contract with the Jets.

He signed a second contract that broke records in 1975. A $900,000 two-year contract with the Jets was involved in this one. 4.3 million dollars today, or $2.15 million annually, would be the same.

Career As An Actor

In 1969, Namath launched his acting career as the host of “The Joe Namath Show,” but he soon moved on to more serious parts. He started off by making appearances in stage performances, and then he moved on to movie roles in films like “C.C. and Company.”

Before landing parts on shows like “The Love Boat,” “Married… with Children,” “Here’s Lucy,” “The Brady Bunch,” “The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour,” “The Flip Wilson Show,” “Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In,” and many more, he also made appearance in the television series “The Waverly Wonders.”

Joe further established himself as a voice actor by appearing in animated series like “The Simpsons.”

Real Estate

For around $1 million, Joe Namath bought a home on New York City’s Upper West Side in 2016. Given that his daughter and her husband were also identified as customers, it appears that the purchase was a present for them.

The charming family house on the first floor of the duplex has two bedrooms and a ton of storage. According to reports from 2019, Namath was reportedly selling this home for the $1.195 million stated price.

Personal Life

For a long time, Joe was single. But in 1983, while enrolled in a voice acting course, Namath got to know Deborah Mays, a want to be an actress.

They were married in 1984 and went on to have two children despite the fact that he was 19 years her senior.

After the marriage, Joe became a devoted family man, but the couple eventually got divorced in 2000.
