What is Antonio Brown’s net worth? Former NFL star filed for bankruptcy before arrest in Miami shooting case
After senior stints with the Steelers, Raiders, Patriots and Buccaneers, the one-time Super Bowl champion became known more for his legal troubles, public outbursts and erratic behavior than for his on-field brilliance.
To add to his problems, Brown’s financial situation deteriorated sharply. Court records show the former NFL star’s net worth has dipped into the negative, but exactly how much is Antonio Brown’s net worth?
Antonio Brown net worth
Brown’s net worth in 2025 is approximately -$3 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, citing court documents. The former Pro Bowl receiver filed for bankruptcy in Florida in May 2024, reporting just $50,000 in assets and nearly $3 million in liabilities.
Despite his financial troubles, Brown still retains ownership of the $9 million Fort Lauderdale mansion he purchased for $6.6 million in 2016. Under Florida law, the applicant’s primary residence is protected from bankruptcy proceedings and Brown is allowed to remain in his home.
Antonio Brown’s earnings during his NFL career
Antonio Brown signed contracts worth more than $80 million during his career, but much of that money was never realized due to suspensions, fines, and early terminations.
Brown, for example, was set to make a guaranteed $30 million with the Oakland Raiders in 2019, but received only $138,000 that season after being released from the team. The majority of Brown’s income, approximately $69 million, came from his time with the Pittsburgh Steelers (2010–2018), where he was one of the NFL’s best wide receivers. According to MARCA, he led the league in receiving yards in 2014 and 2017 and earned seven Pro Bowl selections during his career.
