How much is former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick worth?
Bill Belichick left his head coaching job as one of the NFL’s most successful coaches in history after 24 seasons in charge of the New England Patriots.
It looks like former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick may be making a return to coaching, but not in the NFL. Talks that he may be accepting a job with the UNC Tar Heels have been swirling, though it’s not official just yet as the 72-year-old reportedly wants the school to agree to some pretty strict terms.
Still, perhaps it is worth it as Belichick is widely regarded as one of the greatest football coaches of all time.
At the end of the 2023 NFL season, following a stint that lasted more than two decades and saw the Patriots win 6 out of the 10 Super Bowls that they contested, the franchise and the tactician decided to part ways, a decision that owner Robert Kraft did not take lightly. After all, we’re talking about a coach who registered 333 victories, including a record 32 wins in the playoffs, numbers that made him the highest-paid coach in the history of U.S. sports with a salary of $25 million.
Exactly how much is Bill Belichick worth?
Quite a bit to be honest. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Belichick has a net worth of approximately $70 million. While that figure comes largely from his salaries across his career in the NFL, there are also several bonuses that he has amassed over time as a result of his prolific winning record. His base salary with the Patriots was estimated to be about $12.5 million.
Of course, while we can marvel at the figures involved, it has to be said that this is one individual who we can say was worth every penny. Few could have imagined the level of success that Belichick would usher in when he joined the franchise back in 1995, following time with the Cleveland Browns, Los Angeles Chargers, Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, Washington Commanders, Seattle Seahawks, and Tennessee Titans.
Many of course will point to the involvement of Tom Brady as the central reason for the titles that followed, however, it would be outrightly dishonest to disregard the hand that Belichick had in forming one of the greatest sporting dynasties in American sports history.
