Figures are reported estimates. Last updated Oct 2026.
No settlement figure was made public; the $375 million is an estimate based on a roughly even split of their reported combined wealth.
Tom Brady, the quarterback who won seven Super Bowls, and Gisele Bündchen, the Brazilian supermodel who for years ranked among the highest-paid models in the world, were introduced by mutual friends in 2006 and married in 2009. They had two children together, a son, Benjamin, and a daughter, Vivian, and Gisele also helped raise Brady's older son, Jack, from a previous relationship. Both were global stars in their own fields, and the marriage was often described as a union of two independently successful careers rather than a partnership in a single family business.
Brady's wealth came from a 23-year NFL career that produced six Super Bowl wins with the New England Patriots and a seventh with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 2020 season, along with major endorsement deals and the TB12 health and wellness brand. Bündchen's came from modeling, where she rose to prominence in the late 1990s, worked as a Victoria's Secret Angel and built a long run of fashion and beauty contracts. Because each partner earned a large income of their own, the couple's finances were never tied to a single company the way many other divorces on this list are.
The couple began dating in 2006 and married in a private ceremony in Santa Monica, California, on 26 February 2009, followed by a second ceremony in Costa Rica that April. Tension reportedly grew in 2022, when Brady retired and then returned to the NFL within weeks. On 28 October 2022 both announced their divorce, with divorce papers filed in Florida the same day. Reports said the couple had settled many details before the filing, apparently to avoid a public court fight, and that the court records would remain sealed.
No settlement figure has ever been made public. Reports said the couple would share custody of their two children and that finances and real estate had been 'squared away' before the filing, with a source telling People that 'the settlement is all worked out'. The records are reportedly sealed, so the actual division of assets, any spousal support and any prenuptial terms are not known. Numbers that circulate online for this divorce are speculation based on estimates of each partner's net worth, not disclosed court figures.
Because the terms are confidential, the question of size cannot be answered, but the structure of the case explains why it stayed quiet. Both spouses were wealthy independently, so neither depended on the other for support, and the main issues were custody and the division of jointly owned property rather than a fight over one spouse's company. An agreement negotiated privately, with many details reportedly settled before the filing, let them avoid the public valuation fights that drove cases such as Hamm and Rybolovlev.
The divorce had no visible effect on either partner's businesses. Brady retired from the NFL for good in early 2023, joined Fox Sports as its lead NFL analyst in 2024, and was approved as a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders in October 2024. Bündchen continued to work in fashion and in her environmental and wellness ventures. Neither business was publicly dependent on the other, and no court dispute over a company or a share price followed, which sets this divorce apart from the more entangled cases in this series.
The Brady and Bündchen divorce cannot be ranked by value because the settlement is private, but it stands out as a low-conflict split between two very high earners. It stands in contrast to long, litigated cases such as Hamm's or Rybolovlev's, where the size and ownership of a single business was the central dispute. Its closest analog is the kind of discreet, pre-negotiated settlement favored by couples who wish to keep the details out of public court files.
Brady and Bündchen announced the divorce on the same day using near-identical statements on social media, both stressing that they would continue to co-parent. Their marriage lasted about 13 years. The speed and quiet of the legal process was widely noted at the time, particularly compared with the years-long divorces of other famous sports figures.
