John Elway
John Elway did the responsible thing and invested the money that he had earned while playing football. He put that money into car dealerships and other businesses and even raked in something like $145 million. In 2010 though, his luck ran out when he fell victim to a Ponzi scheme and lost $7 million.
Dan Marino
We have no doubt that Dan Marino was one of the greatest football players of all time. Marino invested $14 million into Digital Domain, an entertainment company that went bankrupt shortly after his investment. Today most people are commenting on his weight gain, but we hope he’s doing well.
