What is Adrian Peterson’s net worth? Former Vikings RB owes $12 million in loan debt
Former Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has been ordered to turn over numerous assets to help deal with spiralling debts, estimated at more than $12 million.
Peterson, the No.7 overall pick in the 2007 NFL Draft, retired from the Game in 2021 after a 14-year career. He played on seven different teams in that time and was, at one point, the highest-paid running back in NFL History.
A contract extension signed with the Vikings in 2011 was worth up to $96 million across seven seasons and he repaid that investment with performances on the field. He was named the NFL Most Valuable Player in 2012 and earned Pro Bowl honours on seven occasions.
How much did Adrian Peterson earn in NFL?
During his 14-year year Peterson represented the Vikings, New Orleans Saints, Arizona Cardinals, Washington Redskins, Detroit Lions, Tennessee Titans and the Seattle Seahawks. His career ended in 2021, by which point he had earnt huge sums from the game.
Sportrac puts Adrian Peterson’s career earnings at $103.2 million, much of which came from that bumper deal with the Vikings. However he was already struggling financially during his career.
In 2016 Peterson took out a $5.2 million loan with Pennsylvania-based DeAngelo Vehicle Sales LLC. By 2018 he had been taken to court by DVS over the now-defaulted loan and in 2021 he was ordered to pay more than $8.2 million, a result of interest accrued on the loan.
It appears that Peterson did not comply with that initial order and Tuesday’s decision is the latest attempt to recoup the outstanding loan balance, which now stands at $12 million. The 39-year-old has been ordered by a judge in Houston to turn over numerous high-value assets to help pay off that debt.
