Tom Brady has spent his career as a champion of hard work. Now retired, he can not only bask in the glory of his achievements on the football field, but also buy toys through his job.
He was spotted relaxing in one this week. According to videos posted by ML Video on X (formerly Twitter) and on YouTube via the Miami Yachting Center, this yacht is a beast on the water.
In the video, the quarterback lies in the sun while others with hats and what appear to be wireless headphones steer the ship. As the ship passed by, he noticed he was being filmed and looked directly into the camera.

The video of the quarterback cruising on the yacht appears to have been filmed this week, as the top half of the country retreated to their homes as temperatures began to drop.
What is Tom Brady doing now?
The former Patriots quarterback is enjoying the closest thing to a full year of rest he’s ever had. Of course, that doesn’t mean he sits in the sun all the time.
Since the start of the season, he has spoken to Patriots fans at halftime of the Patriots’ Week 1 game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
He was also spotted attending Raiders games this season. Although he’s slowed down, he’s not just sitting on the beach. He’s still following the sport and is set to serve as a color commentator on Fox in 2024.
The quarterback signed a ten-year deal in the 2022 offseason and revealed earlier this year that he would be taking a full year off from his traditional job.
How much stock does Tom Brady own in the Raiders?
According to Pro Football Talk, Tom Brady will own 5-10% of the team.
However, as of now, it doesn’t appear that Americans technically own any franchises. According to a report from The Washington Post via Yahoo Sports, Brady faces a huge hurdle in selling.
Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis reportedly offered the quarterback a roughly 70% discount, making other owners less likely to allow a stake sale. So far, the price of selling the land appears to be the biggest obstacle. This means that No. 12 may not face any trouble from other owners if Davies increases the sale price.
Of course, given the team’s franchise value is $5.77 billion, the 70% price increase Davis is offering the quarterback may be more than he can afford. His valuation is estimated at $300 million.
This means Tom Brady can still buy a small stake in the team. However, after months of discussions about owning up to 10% of the team, that may not be in his interest.
