JOSH Allen is already one of the NFL’s top earners, but he has a second income stream making a ton of money.
When he’s not on the football field, Allen is running a pistachio farm.

The Buffalo Bills quarterback started Allen Family Farms with his father as a family business.
The farm originally grew cotton, cantaloupe, and wheat.
However, last year the farm transitioned into growing pistachios.
Now, the Allen family grows 1,000 acres of pistachios, pulling in millions of dollars of revenue.
On top of his NFL salary, Allen is making $6.5 million per year from his farm.
NFL fans were baffled by this business venture from Allen and shared their thoughts on social media.
“Pistachios are so good, they’re expensive too so not surprised he’s making bank of it,” one fan said.
“This is what you’re supposed to with your money, invest it for your future after football, smart money move,” another fan said.
“What a great side hustle!” a third fan said.
“I buy some pistachios from them,” a fourth fan said.
“Good for him!” a fifth fan said.
Allen recently signed a six-year, $330 million contract to remain with the Bills.
That comes out to $55 million per season.
He is tied for the second-highest paid player in the NFL with Jordan Love, Trevor Lawrence, and Joe Burrow.

Only Dak Prescott is paid more than Allen.
Allen had the option to make as much money as Prescott, but turned it down to give his team more financial freedom.
“It’s weird to say this, but what is $5 million more going to do for my life that I can’t already do right now. It’s not that crazy to me,” Allen said.
“I was like, if it has any impact on the cap, let’s figure out a way to not do that.”
