What Was Bart Starr's Net Worth?

Bart Starr was an American retired professional football player who had a net worth of $4 million at the time of his death in 2019. Bart Starr played for the Green Bay Packers and is known as one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time.

After his retirement as a player, Bart served as the Packers' quarterbacks coach under head coach Dan Devine in 1972. Starr took over as head coach in 1974 and led the Packers for nine years to an underwhelming overall regular season record of 52-76-2 and a playoff record of 1-1. In January 1984, Bart was named the head coach of the proposed NFL expansion team, the Arizona Firebirds, but the NFL never granted the team to the would-be ownership group.

Starr was selected in the 17th round of the 1956 NFL Draft with the 200th overall pick by the Green Bay Packers. The team signed him for $6,500 with $1,000 of that coming up front. He spent his entire playing career with the Packers from 1956 to 1971. Bart led his team to win the first two Super Bowls ever and was also Super Bowl MVP of Super Bowls I and II. He also won the NFL Championship in 1961, 1962, 1965, 1966, and 1967 and was a three-time Pro Bowl selection. Starr was named the NFL Most Valuable Player in 1966 and led the league in passer rating five times. He was named to the NFL 1960s All-Decade Team.

Starr, wanting to be close to his high school sweetheart, Cherry Louise Morton, committed to the University of Alabama. He didn't start as a freshman but played enough to earn a varsity letter. Bart entered his sophomore year as Alabama's starting quarterback, safety, and punter. His junior year was mostly lost due to a back injury he suffered during a hazing incident for initiation into the A Club, and he rarely played his senior season. The basketball coach at Alabama, Johnny Dee, recommended Starr as a prospect to friend and personnel director of the Green Bay Packers, Jack Vainisi. The Packers became convinced that Bart had the ability to succeed in the NFL.

Starr had his No. 15 retired by the Green Bay Packers. He is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the Packers Hall of Fame. He had a postseason record of 9-1, and his postseason passing rating of 104.8 is the highest of any quarterback in NFL history.

Bryan Bartlett Starr was born on January 9, 1934, in Montgomery, Alabama. He attended Sidney Lanier High School and tried out for the football team his sophomore year but quit just two weeks later. His father gave him the choice of playing football or working in the family garden, so Bart returned to football. Starr became the starting quarterback in his junior year due to the injury of their original starter, and he helped lead the team to an undefeated season. Bart was named All-State and All-American and received numerous scholarship offers from universities across the nation.
