Celebrities in Need of Life Insurance: Part 4

Tom Brady

Unlike other celebrities on this list, Tom Brady’s career and his health are reliant upon one another for success. As a star quarterback for the New England Patriots, Brady must keep himself in top physical form at all times. However, considering the frequent impact a quarterback has to grapple with on the field, there is also a great deal of risk involved in Brady’s work. Quarterbacks can, if hit the wrong way, or with force beyond what their body can handle, suffer serious injuries that can result in disability, and even death (especially if the injuries involve the brain).

With a wife and child to support, Brady is another great example of a celebrity who needs life insurance (and not just the kind of life insurance desperate NFL players are purchasing in the face of the lockout).

But Brady also exemplifies the importance of disability insurance – he epitomizes the kind of person who, at any moment, could lose the ability to do his job for good, requiring him to not only find another vocation, but to support his family in the interim as well.
