Matt Barkley’s Total Worth – $2 Million
Concerning his education, Matt attended Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, where in 2005, he became the first freshman quarterback at the school since Todd Marinovich. Despite facing an injury during his freshman year which prematurely ended his season during playoffs, he managed to accumulate 10 touchdowns and passed for 1,685 yards. Over three years, he accumulated 57 touchdowns and 6,994 passing yards, receiving accolades such as the 2007 football Gatorade National Player of The Year, the Gatorade National Male Athlete of the Year, and the 2007 Glenn Davis Award. In 2009, ESPN rated him as the top prospect for the class.
Having graduated early from high school, Matt attended the University of Southern California and played for the USC Trojans for four seasons. He achieved the starting quarterback position in late August during his fall practices, and notably led his team to a 56-3 victory against San Jose State during his first college game. Barkley set the USC single-game record for completions with 34 against Minnesota, and in early October of the same year against Arizona, he set a 468-yards passing record. In 2011, he won the 2011 CFPA National Performer of the Year Trophy. However, his 2012 season and college career were cut short due to a shoulder injury, and USC failed to make the play-offs.
In 2013, he was selected in the fourth round of the NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles. Subsequently, he made his NFL debut against the Dallas Cowboys in late October. However, his play was hindered by shoulder issues, and in 2015, he was traded to the Arizona Cardinals. After fulfilling the terms of the trade by being on the roster for six total games, Matt left the team in September 2016 and joined the Chicago Bears’ practice team. He was later elevated to the active roster in late September of the same year. Injuries afforded him a chance to make his debut for the team against the Green Bay Packers, but his subsequent performances were inconsistent.
In mid-March 2017, he secured a two-year contract with the San Francisco 49ers, but lost the quarterback position to C.J. Beathard and Brian Hoyer. As a result, in November, he signed a contract with the Arizona Cardinals again but was inactive for the entire season. Most recently, in March 2018, Matt signed a contract with the Cincinnati Bengals, indicating a rise in his net worth.
Barkley has been married to his high-school sweetheart, Brittany Langdon, since 2013, and they have a son. He is a devout Christian and maintains an active presence on social media, particularly Twitter and Instagram, with 115,000 followers on the former and over 50,000 on the latter.
