Often touted as the greatest player in the NFL ever and remembered for his on-screen stints in movies such as "Mars Attacks" and "Any Given Sunday," American football icon and actor Jim Brown had a net worth of $30 million at the time of his death. The Pro Football Hall of Famer wasn't just great at one game, and excelled at basketball, baseball, and lacrosse during his university days, and many even felt he was the strongest at lacrosse. Brown could outrun most players and was a phenomenon in NFL between the 50s and 60s, after which he retired at his peak when he was just 30. Off the field at a young age, Brown turned towards acting, with roles in "The Dirty Dozen" and "Slaughter," that paved the way for five decades of appearances in films and TV.

Brown's primary source of income was his illustrious football career in the National Football League (NFL), where he played as a fullback and is widely regarded as one of the greatest running backs in history. Following his dream run in the league, Brown began raking in cash from his roles in films as well as TV shows.
