American superstar mistakenly believes in FTX virtual currency platform...] American football superstar Brady and his then- wife, supermodel Gisele Bundchen, received a total of $48 million in endorsement fees from FTX (Brady $30 million and Bundchen $18 million). Perhaps out of confidence in cryptocurrency and the future growth prospects of the FTX platform, the two agreed that FTX would pay endorsement fees entirely in stock.
They believe that this US$48 million shareholding will be worth over 100 million or even more in the future.
In order to cash in the shares, the two also $PAID$ a lot of taxes.
