One of the most famous families in America is no doubt, the Manning family which produced three legendary NFL quarterbacks: Archie, Peyton, and Eli.

Regardless of what happens on the field, each one has already achieved huge success in their own right (both personally and financially). In this article however, we put the Manning family in brackets and take a little sneak peek at how much each brother has made while playing football (and doing other stuff) as well as their place on the financial ladder.

Archie Manning

Archie Manning (Father) Net Worth: $10 million Archie, the father of the Mannings is a former American Football player.

Even though he spent most of his career playing for a bad New Orleans Saints team, Payton made an impact on the field and was selected to two Pro Bowls. However, because of the age and teams his sons played for, he had a significantly lower net worth than them.

Cooper Manning

Cooper Manning, the oldest of the Mannings siblings and brother to NFL legends Peyton and Eli is worth roughly $13 million. He's had some success as AJ Capital Partners' Principal and Senior Managing Director of Investor Relations…as well as host of Fox Sports's The Manning Hour.

His career in the energy trading business has made him wealthy though he earned a little less than his younger brothers, this is likely down to leaving the field early faced with health issues.

Peyton Manning

The richest of all the Manning brothers is middle child Peyton, who boasts an estimated $250 million.

The majority of the wealth he has accumulated over his impressive NFL career is filled with multiple honors and achievements. He also banked big with sponsorship from companies like Sony, ESPN, DirecTV Reebok, and Gatorade.

Moreover, being the proprietor of several Papa John's pizza franchises in Colorado before they were sold back in 2018 helped significantly to make him wealthy.

Eli Manning

The youngest Manning brother, Eli has a net worth of $150 million which is greater than that of his father and older brother Cooper—who also happens to be less famous only because he decided to take up the sport with the family.

Eli, if you do not know her is a former NFL player who had the most success playing for the New York Giants and earned $252.3 million in salary throughout his career.
Most significantly, Eli won two Super Bowls with the Giants against those same Patriots teams and was named Super Bowl MVP in both games.

Analysis of Wealth Disparity

Of course, the enormous difference in net worth with a Manning sibling boils down to his playing career length, endorsements, and payday.

The large net worth of Peyton Manning has been built from his successful career in the NFL, which included many endorsements and business ventures during it too while Eli Mannings's wealth came more a lucrative playing career with the New York Giants reaping every benefit.

All Manning brothers are rich — but clearly, they have a crown prince the richest one in the clan is Peyton, not your average guy. His focus on his remarkable NFL career, as well as some smart business decisions and endorsement deals, has helped elevate him much higher than other members of the Manning family when it comes to net worth.

With the Manning family dominating sports headlines, they have surely built a legacy that will go down in history alongside their unprecedented financial prowess.
