We got an oddly compelling look into the life of Tom Brady when a cache of his personal emails were publicly released as the result of a Deflategate lawsuit.
There's no smoking gun, and Brady comes off as a good guy in the emails. But there is one particularly amusing exchange where he's appalled that he has to buy a $8,500 pool cover.
Brady is the league's biggest celebrity and one of its highest-earning players ever at nearly $150 million.

Brady has made $149 million in NFL salary, which is the 3rd-most among active players.

His yearly income fluctuates wildly because he's constantly restructuring his contract to help the Patriots.
In 2013 Brady earned $38 million, largely from a massive signing bonus, making him the 11th-highest-paid athlete in the world.
