It appears the meteoric rise of the famed American footballer may be drawing to a close.

The Atlanta Falcons undoubtedly rank among the most popular and revered NFL teams, yet not all their players have achieved substantial fame. At first glance, Kroy Biermann seems to enjoy a great deal of popularity.

However, it soon becomes starkly evident that the linebacker is recognised more for his marriage to Kim Zolciak, a cast member of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, and his extravagant lifestyle than for his athletic prowess.

Despite proving himself a competent player and a valuable asset for the team, his recent bankruptcy filings and mounting debts suggest that he has struggled to meet the live up expectations conferred upon him by the Atlanta Falcons.

This month, amidst ongoing financial difficulties that have beset the couple over recent years, Kim Zolciak filed for divorce. Yet, the footballer's troubles didn't end there; reportedly, he and Kim owe the government around $1.1 million in taxes, having neglected to pay them in 2013, 2017 and 2018. As we look at 2023, one can't help but wonder about Kroy's projected net worth.

Various sources estimate his current net worth to be approximately $350,000, a sum that seems paltry for a former NFL player. So, what happened? Kroy amassed $14 million during his tenure with the Atlanta Falcons, but it appears he and his wife outspent their earnings. Fans claim that Kroy's income didn't come close to matching those of other renowned players.

‘He also didn’t make Tom Brady money – he was a linebacker/defensive end. They make a lot less than the headliner players,’ a fan noted.

News of the impending auction of Kim and Kroy's mansion in early 2023 surprised fans, but the property's actual price tag proved even more startling. Kroy purchased the luxurious home for a mere $800,000 back in 2012, a clear indication he was cognisant of his moderate paychecks at the time.

Unfortunately, it appears that Kroy lost sight of his actual income, opting instead for a life of opulence, oblivious to the impending collapse of his financial fairytale.
