Tom Brady signs deal to endorse car costing over $200K
By Jason Parker
Tom Brady will be the new face of luxury car maker Aston Martin, getting to ride around in a car that cost nearly a quarter of a million dollars to buy.
It’s a good life being New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. Even when you’re looking down the barrel at a 40th birthday, the signal caller is coming off his fifth Super Bowl title in a career that could go well into the next decade if Brady has his way.
Off the field, Brady is winning by having a gorgeous wife in super model Giselle Bundchen as well as the admiration of everyone in the commonwealth of Massachusetts who would kill for him (starting likely with NFL commish Roger Goodell as their first target).
Tom Brady also has plenty of sponsorship deals bringing him cash – including Under Armour, Ugg Australia and his newest venture…peddling British sports cars that cost more than some of his fans will make over the better part of a decade.
According to ESPN.com, Brady has inked a deal with Aston Martin to be the spokesman for their new DB11 vehicle – one with a price tag of ONLY $211,195:
"Brady’s deal will include a content series in which the quarterback will share what drives him while being featured with his car. Brady will also help create his own version of the company’s Vanquish S car. Only 12 of those cars will be made and sold to the public."
The company that has been making cars for over a century and typically produces around 4,000 a year – with just a quarter of those coming to the United States.

So once again, let us all take a moment to recap what just happened here: maybe the single biggest sports figure out there at this point (at least in the game of football) is going to get a free ride that would cost the rest of us an arm and both legs to his beautiful home with his beautiful wife and his beautiful rings. Yes, I am being salty as heck right now and will be speaking to our FanSided editors about how to get a similar deal.
