Terry Bradshaw’s Net Worth and Costly Divorces

Bradshaw has recently signed a new three-year deal with Fox Sports, earning him a $6 million annual salary.

Considering this new development, Terry Bradshaw’s net worth is estimated to be $50 million in 2024.

What was his NFL Salary?

During his initial years in the NFL, Bradshaw was making $150,000 in annual salary. Adjusted for inflation, this amount equals $4 million in today’s dollars.

Bradshaw played for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1983 when he was signed up for his highest pay, $440,000 per season.

However, due to elbow surgery, he only saw action in one game that season.

Divorces and Settlements

First Marriage to Melissa Babish (1972-1973): Bradshaw’s first marriage was to Melissa Babish, a former Miss Teenage America.

Their marriage was brief, lasting only 18 months. Terry Bradshaw paid $200,000 in lumpsum during the divorce settlement.

Second Marriage to JoJo Starbuck (1976-1983): Bradshaw’s second marriage was to Olympic figure skater JoJo Starbuck.

Their seven-year relationship was marked by both love and struggles. The couple ultimately divorced in 1983. He paid $500k in cash and agreed to pay $25,000 in alimony annually.

Third Marriage to Charla Hopkins (1983-1999): Bradshaw’s third marriage was to Charla Hopkins, a family attorney. Their 16-year marriage produced two daughters, Erin and Rachel.

Bradshaw’s worth shrunk 25% through this divorce, where he had to give up two real estate properties and $1.8 million in cash.

Where does he live?
