Being the greatest of all time comes with unique privileges. Through everything he achieved on the field, Tom Brady proved his quality and talent were unmatched, setting a standard that may take decades before another player even approaches it in the NFL. For that reason, when his Super Bowl rings were commissioned, no detail was overlooked. For the best, only the very best would suffice.

The exorbitant cost of Super Bowl rings

Each Super Bowl ring is a work of jewelry with enormous value. The NFL covers only $5,000 for each of the first 150 rings per championship team, but in reality, the average cost ranges between $30,000 and $50,000, an amount that players themselves must finance.

One of the most famous examples came with Brady’s fifth ring, which commemorated the Patriots’ historic comeback victory after trailing 28-3. The rings produced for that title were extraordinary in every sense. Each piece contained 205 diamonds, symbolizing the eight uninterrupted months the team spent together before the season began, and each had an estimated value of $37,000.

As years have passed, the price of these championship rings has steadily increased. The reason is clear: they have become increasingly complex in design, incorporating countless intricate elements that push craftsmanship to new levels.

The Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Rams, for instance, ordered rings of enormous size and detail, designed so elaborately that it is virtually impossible for them to go unnoticed.

Given the known figures -the confirmed $37,000 ring and the average range- experts estimate that more than a quarter of a million dollars has been spent solely on the production of Tom Brady’s rings throughout his career.

Fraud and speculation

With numbers of this magnitude, it is unsurprising that scams have surfaced. Fraudsters prey on emotions, attempting to trick buyers into paying for fake memorabilia under the illusion of owning something connected to Brady.

But the notion that Brady would sell or part with his rings is far-fetched. With the fortune he amassed during his playing days, along with the massive broadcasting contract he signed with Fox to serve as an NFL analyst, he has no financial incentive. Beyond that, the emotional investment he poured into earning each championship makes it almost unimaginable that he would willingly part with one of those treasures.

Legacy beyond the field

For Brady, the rings are more than jewelry; they are milestones of an unparalleled career built on skill, discipline, and resilience. It is more likely they will remain in his possession until one day they pass into the hands of his children or close family. Only then might they appear at an auction, be sold, or preserved in another way, depending on what his heirs decide.

For now, Brady enjoys the life built from seven Super Bowl titles with two franchises -the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers– while he prepares for his second season as an NFL analyst and continues his role as a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders.
