Colin Rand Kaepernick is an American football quarterback and a civil rights activist. As a football player, he makes sure that he always knelt during the national anthem to avoid protests of racial inequality and police brutality in the U.S.These days, he might be making headlines for his activism and his charitable work, but during his six seasons playing in the NFL Colin Kaepernick was earning an annual salary of $43 million. His peak? $14.3 million for the 2016 season. Aside from his earnings from football, Kaepernick also has partnerships with many different brands, including Nike.

He has been working with the company since 2011 and they stuck with him despite Kaepernick being out of the league. This is what you called loyalty. Together with his partner, Nessa Diab, Kaepernick made investments towards the Know Your Rights Camp— an organization teaching disadvantaged youth about self- empowerment, history, and legal rights.
