7. Mark Brunell – $50 Million
With three trips to the Pro Bowl, 17 NFL seasons and a Super Bowl Ring under his belt, Mark Brunell is regarded as the greatest left-handed quarterback of our time. Yet, even with $50,000,000 in NFL earnings, Brunell ended up $22 million in debt by 2011.

Brunell invested over $19 mil. into a Michigan-based real estate company and another nine million into the “Whataburger” fast food chain in 2005. Despite a lack of considerable profits, he then put everything he had left into seven additional business ventures. So, when the housing bubble came down in 2008, Mark’s net worth went into the negatives. He ended up defaulting on $24 million in liabilities, declaring just under $2 million in assets.
