In fact, in a LinkedIn post, he claimed he made nearly $80 million during his NFL career and “never spent a dollar” of his salary. Instead, he lived off income generated through the market.“Most guys who hit that number are broke a few years after their last check. I’ve watched it happen up close. I grew up in Berlin, New Jersey, with two loving parents who worked hard and were always home for dinner. But I got drafted 14th among corners in 2013, and that chip never left. It made me suspicious of any dollar that felt too easy to spend,” he wrote. “So I never touched the paychecks. I live on a strict budget off my portfolio, and I still ask my financial advisor more questions than anyone else on his books.”“Here’s the part people chasing a big number keep missing. Chasing a big number was never the point. What actually bought my freedom was saving relentlessly, year after year, while everyone around me spent,” he added. “I retired at 33 and answered to no schedule but my kids’. For those working toward financial freedom, remember what that freedom is really for.”PortfolioFront Office Sports reports Ryan’s investment portfolio includes commercial real estate and investments in ChatGPT maker OpenAI, and he participates in private credit investing.
