Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning announced Monday that he was retiring from the NFL. "There's just something about 18 years. Eighteen is a good number," Manning said in a Denver press conference. "And today I retire from pro football," after 18 record-setting years, including winning two Super Bowls, most recently last month in Super Bowl 50.

Manning has husbanded his football salaries throughout his career. Forbes estimates his 2015 compensation was $27 million (including $12 million in endorsements) making him the 32nd highest-paid athlete on Forbes' list last year. MoneyNation says Manning has a net worth of $191 million.

Beyond his athletic exploits, Manning is a poised speaker who found a welcoming audience at Pershing's 2013 InSite conference when he spoke about decision-making.
