How Much Is The Retired Steelers Player Worth?

Even television viewers who had no interest in football became of aware of Troy Polamalu while he played with the Steelers. The defensive stalwart became a fixture in pop culture thanks to his signature long curly hair, which led to appearances in many commercials. His unique on-field appearance led to inking an endorsement deal with Head & Shoulders, which made the All-Pro safety a household name after he appeared in multiple ad campaigns. In a 2011 interview with Allure, Polamalu said, "I don't think I've cut my hair in almost ten years — not even a trim, no." 

The shampoo company announced in 2010 that they took out an insurance policy on the NFL star. "Head & Shoulders has gone above and beyond by insuring my Samoan locks for a cool $1 million dollars. This reinforces that my full and thick hair is unstoppable," he said in a press release (via the Huffington Post). That policy helped Polamalu etch his way into Guinness World Records, which recognized him as having the world's "Highest Insured Hair." Polamalu went on to sign a deal with Suave and became the face of their "Action Series," as per Behind The Steel Curtain.

His stellar playing career, investment know-how, and endorsements have allowed him to accumulate millions over the years, and he is worth an estimated $30 million according to Celebrity Net Worth.
