The numbers behind the Super Bowl: How much is made and spent?
With Super Bowl 59 approaching, here is a look at where millions, and potentially billions of dollars are made and spent for the big game.
One of the most prized possessions in sports is a Super Bowl ring.
The rings are a symbolic representation of a team’s hard work and dedication throughout a grueling NFL season, capped by a victory in the biggest game of them all.
Only a select few every year will receive a Super Bowl ring for their efforts — and many of the greatest players in history have never won one.
On the other hand (so to speak) are those who have not only been to the big game multiple times, but have come away victorious as well. So let’s celebrate some of the biggest winners in the Super Bowl era.
Not surprisingly, quarterback Tom Brady has the most Super Bowl rings in NFL history — having led the New England Patriots to six titles and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to another. However, Kansas City Chiefs guard Joe Thuney could move into a tie for second place all-time with a win in Super Bowl 59.

In addition, there are 22 players (including QB Terry Bradshaw and RB Franco Harris) who were part of all four Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl wins after the 1974, 1975, 1978 and 1979 seasons.
And there are five players (including QB Joe Montana and DB Ronnie Lott) who were part of four San Francisco 49ers championship teams. The 49ers won after the 1981, 1984, 1988, 1989 and 1994 seasons.
The legendary Bill Belichick leads all NFL head coaches with six Super Bowl rings. However, Andy Reid could move into a tie for second place if his Kansas City Chiefs are victorious in Super Bowl 59.
