 Bridgman's playing career was in the 70s and 80s, when the average player made a lot less money. Very few players back in my time were going to retire with enough accumulated money where they didn't have to do anything the rest of their life, so to speak. Since retiring, he's amassed a fortune of around $600 million as an entrepreneur, first in the fast food business, and more recently as a key bottler for Coca-Cola.
