Tom Brady Divorce Settlement: Prenup, Real Estate, and Custody

Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen finalized their divorce settlement on October 28, 2022, ending a 13-year marriage through a private, uncontested mediation governed by an ironclad prenuptial agreement. Each spouse kept the fortune they had built independently, a real estate portfolio worth tens of millions was divided between them, and they agreed to joint custody of their two children. The full financial terms were never disclosed: the case was filed in rural Glades County, Florida, no financial disclosures were submitted to the court, and the entire file is sealed.1People.

How the Prenup Shaped the Settlement

Brady and Bündchen signed a prenuptial agreement before their 2009 wedding. It was designed to protect each spouse’s separate business interests and premarital assets, keeping their respective earnings walled off from each other.2Forbes. How To Tackle Your Divorce Outside of the Courtroom Because both maintained separate business entities throughout the marriage, the prenup made the financial separation relatively straightforward. The major shared assets that actually required negotiation were the properties they had acquired together.3SFLG. Lessons on Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchens Ironclad Prenup

Reports indicate Bündchen updated the prenuptial agreement in June 2022, a few months before the divorce was filed.2Forbes.

At the time of the split, Bündchen’s individual fortune was estimated above $400 million and Brady’s at roughly $333 million, for a combined net worth of about $730 million.4BuzzFeed News.

How the Real Estate Was Divided

The couple’s property portfolio spanned multiple states and countries, and a mediator worked out who kept what.7Fox 13 News. Tom Brady Gisele Bundchen File for Divorce in Florida The division visible through public records and reporting breaks down as follows:

Bündchen also made moves of her own during the divorce process. In February 2022 she bought a $1.25 million cottage in Miami Beach. On October 6, 2022, weeks before the divorce was finalized, she closed on an $11.5 million, five-bedroom mansion in Surfside, Florida, directly across a narrow waterway from Brady’s Indian Creek property. The purchase was made through a trust with her twin sister Patricia as trustee.12Mansion Global.

Custody of Benjamin and Vivian

Brady and Bündchen agreed to joint custody of their two children, Benjamin and Vivian. The specific terms of their parenting plan were included in the sealed marital settlement agreement and have never been disclosed.2Forbes. How To Tackle Your Divorce Outside of the Courtroom

As of early 2026, insiders describe the pair as maintaining a “good coparenting schedule,” with communication limited strictly to matters involving the children. Bündchen has said publicly that the two households naturally have different rules and that the kids “just adapt.” Both are based in the Miami area, which keeps the logistics manageable. Bündchen has since married Joaquim Valente and welcomed a son with him in February 2025.14Yahoo Sports. Insiders Dish on Tom Brady and Gisele Co-Parenting

Why the Dollar Figures Are Still Unknown

The settlement is notable for how little of its actual content is public. The entire case file in Glades County is confidential. Neither spouse filed financial disclosures with the court. No figures from the marital settlement agreement have leaked. What the public knows comes from real estate records, which are inherently public, and from sources who shared broad outlines with reporters: joint custody, mediation, an enforced prenup.

The choice of Glades County, a quiet rural jurisdiction far from the media-saturated courthouses of Miami-Dade or Palm Beach, was itself a privacy strategy. Filing electronically and resolving everything through mediation meant no courtroom appearances, no contested hearings, and no public record of arguments. More than three years later, the actual dollar figures of who received what remain unknown.

How the Split Has Held Up Financially

Both have continued building their fortunes since the settlement. Brady’s largest post-divorce deal is a 10-year, $375 million contract with Fox Sports to serve as the network’s lead NFL analyst, a role he began in 2024.15Yahoo Sports.

Bündchen maintains an estimated net worth of $400 million and an annual income of roughly $40 million. Her business portfolio includes the Ipanema sandal line, brand partnerships, hotel co-ownership, and proceeds from her bestselling memoir. She has shifted her investment strategy toward eco-conscious ventures since the divorce, moving away from riskier bets like FTX, where her role as an ambassador resulted in significant losses when the cryptocurrency exchange collapsed in late 2022.18Times of India.
