Posted on by Nafiz Labib

On a recent episode of Spotify’s Drive with Jim Farley podcast, Tom Brady went on to talk about various things. One of the topics Tom Brady mentioned was parenting, and he talked about how his and his wife’s, Giselle Bündchen, wealth is the hardest thing about parenting.

According to Brady, the wealth that his kids are surrounded by makes it hard to teach them about the realities of the real world. He said, “We have people that clean for us. We have people that make our food. We have people that drive us to the airport if we need that. … We get off a plane and there’s people waiting there for us, and we get ushered in. That’s my kids’ reality, which is the hard part to say, ‘Guys, this is not the way reality really is. … What can we do about that?”

With the combined earnings of Brady and Bündchen, the parents have an estimated net worth of $650 million. They try to make sure that their kids “have experiences other kids have”, but with their lifestyles, Brady reported that it makes it hard to do that.

Brady credits his and Bündchen’s humble lifestyles to the appreciations of their wealth. Bündchen grew up in rural Brazil, in a small house with 7 other family members, while Brady grew up in a middle-class home in California.
