What is Roger Staubach’s net worth? 

According to Wealthy Gorilla, Roger Staubach boasts a massive net worth of $600 million. The former football player began investing his money and time in the late 1970s when he partnered with Robert Holloway Jr. Together they established The Staubach Company, a commercial real estate business. 

Roger Staubach’s main drive to start working with real estate was because he didn’t earn enough to sustain his family in case of anything.  

“I couldn’t have retired at my age and just played golf. First of all, they didn’t pay quarterbacks what they do today. And I was 37 with three kids. I kept thinking about [what would happen] if some linebacker takes off my head and I can’t play anymore.” Roger Staubach previously said, as per his Wikipedia.
