Rob Gronkowski’s wild lifestyle from forgotten $69k Apple stock to lavish car collection and Fox NFL Sunday appearances

Rob Gronkowski is living a crazy life, from collecting expensive cars to forgetting that he owns almost $600,000 worth of Apple stock.

It was expected that the four-time Super Bowl champion would grasp retirement with both hands when he hung up his cleats in 2022.

He stated that he lived entirely off of his successful business endeavors and endorsement deals while playing for the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, not spending any money from his NFL contracts.

In addition to selling $1.2 million worth of NFT cards, he runs his own fitness company, has an annual music festival, and even collaborated with Monster Energy to launch a unique Gronk drink.

The 35-year-old has also had appearances in movies, the WWE, and advertisements for well-known companies like Nike and Visa.

It is estimated that Gronk has a net worth of $45 million.

However, because tight end is no longer his forte, driving high-end cars has become his new favorite job.

Gronkowski boasts an amazing garage filled with sports cars and 4x4s.

A customized Mercedes-Benz S63 with 603 horsepower and a 4.0-liter V8 twin turbo is one of his prideful possessions.

They are worth $185,000, but that is nothing in comparison to the estimated $253,000 he spent for an Audi R8.

His V10 engine powers his second-generation model.

Gronk is also seen driving a Bentley Continental GT around Tampa.

He reportedly spent at least $200,000 on his car’s accessories, which include adjustable mood lights.

And without a Jeep and an Audi Q7, his collection of luxury goods would not be complete.

Gronkowski and his fiancée Camille Kostekg gave away free sports vehicles to supporters because his garage became so packed.

He offered his fans the chance to win two complimentary Corvettes last year if they purchased a raffle ticket, with the proceeds going to a worthy cause.

A brand-new 2023 Corvette Stingray and a vintage 1974 model were on display at the event.

Gronkowski has plenty of money, even though he has spent about $1 million on motors over the years.

He actually didn’t remember that he had $600,000 worth of Apple stock.

In 2014, while at the Patriots, the NFL icon called a contractor to construct a mansion in Massachusetts.

“Every time I saw him, when we were building the house, he kept saying, GetApple,” Gronk told the Fortune. Get Apple.

“I had never dealt with stocks before. I had no idea how stocks operated. I said, “All right, man, let me do this.”

“I give my financial advisor a call. I say, “Invest $69,000 in Apple.”

He completely forgot about the investment and didn’t check on it for two years.

But after getting a nudge to check his wealth, Gronk revealed: “Now to this day, I have over $600,000 in Apple stock.

“All because of the investment I made in 2014 having no idea what I was doing, but just listening to the guy that built my house here in New England.

“Let me tell you, it s the best investment I ve ever had in my life.”

When Gronkowski bought Apple stock in 2014, shares were trading at $24.58.

A decade later, those same shares are worth $243.07.

These days, Gronk keeps busy by appearing onNFL Sundays on Fox Sports.

But even then he does not take the easy route,jumping out of a helicopterand into the ocean to mark Veteran’s Day weekend.
