He has purchased and sold homes in Charlotte, North Carolina and in Beverly Hills, California, but other than that, he does not seem to be a real estate mogul.
Newton’s Family
Perhaps his money goes into raising his family.
Newton is the father of seven children and is a very hands-on dad.
Cam Newton mist be feeling good. His postgame presser is a family affair. ‘'They don't know who I am,'' Newton said of his son and daughter. ‘'They just know me as daddy. I am going to try and keep it that was as long as I can.'' https://t.co/Kzs17iwicP pic.twitter.com/jwIP16Ev1x

In September 2020 after signing with the Patriots, Newton shared the difficult decision not to move the family to Massachusetts immediately with the COVID-19 epidemic raging on.
“I’m a very family-orientated person. I’m a very hands-on dad and the fact that people don’t realize because they are jaded by the outfit that I wear, they are jaded by the energy on the field, they are jaded by the football figure of who I am.”

At 32 years of age, Cam Newton is at an interesting point in his NFL career.
For the past two seasons, he has signed one-year deals with the New England Patriots.
He is competing with rookie Mac Jones for the starting quarterback job.
Who would you choose to be the Patriots QB1?

It is unclear if he has a long-term future as a starting quarterback based on the youth-oriented push at the quarterback position (excluding a noteworthy few like Tom Brady, Matt Ryan, and Russell Wilson).
Will Newton be content if his role ultimately switches to that of a backup quarterback?
Only time will tell how Newton will feel about the situation if that happens.
Newton is currently focused on keeping his job and leading the 2021 New England Patriots into the regular season next month.
But, no matter what happens, we know Newton will not be hurting financially.

Honesty is what I’m concerned with the media, When Dak Prescott outplayed Tony Romo who was coming off of injuries (but has proven very little other than regular season and even that is misleading (Stats) wise compared to Cam Newton. It took 4 years and people still want to second guess Dak and the coaching staff. Yet Mac Jones has a subpart preseason and we know who normally plays during preseason and you really are evaluating all talent during that time. And you get Ian Rappaport , ( whose a journalist NOT a scout (definitely not a subject matter expert or coach or even former player) come on national television claiming how intelligent Mac Jones is, as to insinuate Cam Newton is stupid. Can you get 1 proven veteran to speak out on this not, so much as about Cam, nut a journalist who makes a living telling lies and creating false narratives and getting paid to do it,

i know cam would loose the job to mac jones, it surprised me they cut him . sadly cams career is over in the nfl, unless he wants to be a backup QB, and thaT might not even happen, cam brings alot of media and is a distraction to the team

If Cam wants to play someone will pick him up. If he is a backup and gets an opportunity to come in, he has plenty of talent and energy; could be a game changer for many teams.
