Micheal Vick was—and continues to be—one of the most electric players in National Football League (NFL) history. He holds the records for both the most career rushing yards by a quarterback (6,109) and the most rushing yards by a quarterback in a single season (1,039).
Vicks used to be the highest-paid player in the NFL, holding a 10-year contract of 130 million with the Atlanta Falcons in 2005. But his career took a turn when he pleaded guilty in 2007 to charges of running an illegal dog fighting ring and was subsequently sentenced to 21 months in federal prison.
Following his incarceration, Vicks made a remarkable comeback in 2009 with the Philadelphia Eagle. And despite his damage to reputation, he still managed to land a six-year contract worth $100 million in 2011, which included approximately $40 million guaranteed.

Michael Vick is no longer a member of the NFL, but his career earned him a significant net worth. Here’s how much he’s earned throughout his career.
What Is Michael Vick’s Net Worth?
As of 2024, Michael Vick’s net worth is estimated to be between $16 million and $20 million.

Football Career
Michael Vick’s career in the NFL was nothing short of lucrative, earning no less than $120 million in his time in the league.
During his first year in the league, he reportedly signed a six-year contract with the Atlanta Falcons worth $37.3 million, which included $22.5 million guaranteed. He then signed a seven-year extension with the Falcons worth $91 million, with $30 million guaranteed.
Vick’s highest-paying contract came in 2005, when he signed a 10-year $130 million deal, making him the highest-paid player in the NFL at that time.
Vick’s career appears to be on the up and up until he was charged for his involvement in a dog fighting ring. Vick spent 21 months in federal prison, and the fallout from his conviction led him to declare bankruptcy in 2008; he didn’t repay the debt until 10 years later.
Upon his release in 2009, Vick managed to land a two-year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles worth $6.8 million, a stark contrast to his old $130 million contract.
However, Vick’s performance during that period led to a six-year contract with the Eagles worth $100 million, including around $40 million guaranteed.
Vick’s career also included stints with other teams, such as a one-year contract with the New York Jets in 2014 worth $5 million and a brief period with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2015 for approximately $970,000, which marked the end of his career as a quarterback.
Vick remained involved in the NFL until 2017, working as a football analyst and commentator, as well as a mentor for younger quarterbacks.
Real Estate
Michael Vick has several real estate properties to his name.
In 2008, he and his then-girlfriend (now wife) Kijafa Vick sold their property in Davie, Florida, for $1.4 million to Lawrence T. Guy.
Around a year later, Vick listed his Duluth, Georgia home for sale with an initial asking price of $3.2 million to pay off debts incurred during his bankruptcy proceedings. The property remains unsold, and Vick has increased the asking price from $3.2 million to $4.5 million in 2018.

In 2020, Vick and Kijafa listed their Plantation, Florida home for $2.4 million. The property features 9,280 square feet, six bedrooms, a media room, a guest house, a custom pool, an outdoor kitchen, and a basketball court. As of the latest information, it has yet to be sold.

Throughout his career, Michael Vick partnered with several notable brands. Some of these brands included:
- Nike

At the height of his career, Vick earned approximately $2 million annually from endorsements alone, with Nike being a significant contributor to these earnings. Nike discontinued their contract with Vick following his legal troubles but later reinstated him as his reputation recovered.

The V7 clothing line has an active Instagram account with nearly 16k followers, but the last post was in 2020. Vick’s merchandise website michealvickcollection.com hasn’t been active since 2020 either.

- 2012 Audi A8L
- 2012 Lexus LX570

Vick’s most recent addition is a Maybach 30, which cost him $300,000 according to a podcast he had with football wide receiver Tyreek Hill.
In the interview, Vick mentioned how he regretted the purchase because it attracted too much attention—especially from the cops. “If the police stop you to ask you what type of car you’re in, you need to reconsider if you want to keep that car,” he said.

Wrapping Up
As of 2024, Michael Vick has a net worth of between $16 million to $20 million. Vick was one of the most notable players of the NFL during his time, being the first quarterback to rush for over 1,000 yards in a single season (2006 with the Atlanta Falcons). Vick also became the all-time leader in rushing yards by a quarterback, a record he still holds. But on Christmas Day, Ravens’ Lamar Jackson passes Michael Vick for the all-time QB rushing yards record.
