Bill Belichick Net Worth: How Much Did He Make With Patriots In 24 Years?

Belichick and Robert Kraft, the owner of the Patriots, met for the better part of this week to discuss the respective plans for each side. There was reportedly no argument or confrontation, according to those with knowledge of those discussions, and in the end, fruitful negotiations produced a resolution that satisfied both parties.

For the last 24 years, the 71-year-old has been at the head of the Patriots, delivering enormous success to New England for a majority of his career. Belichick built a dynasty with the Patriots that lasted over two decades, winning six Super Bowls, nine AFC Championships, and fourteen AFC East crowns with quarterback great Tom Brady.

His financial situation is still unknown despite all that is known about him.

It is unclear what reports the value of his contracts and compensation over the years have been. Although they are unable to provide an exact amount, websites such as Sportskeeda and Celebrity Net Worth estimate his net worth to be between $60 and $70 million.

In the same way, one of the NFL’s best-kept secrets—along with the New England Patriots’—is the money that the renowned HC collects every year. His basic pay is rumored to be about $12 million.

Despite the foregoing, some speculate that his pay may reach $25 million, considering that he serves as the Patriots’ de facto general manager in addition to their head coach.

Belichick, who said he will “always be a Patriot,” thanked Kraft and his family for the opportunity and support, saying: “We had a vision of building a championship football team that has exceeded my wildest dreams and expectations. I’m very proud of that. I’ll always have those great memories, will carry those with me the rest of my life.”

With one year left on his deal, Belichick is free to depart the team without the Patriots pursuing payment. According to league insiders, he will want to continue coaching and is anticipated to pique the interest of at least a few of the other seven NFL teams that have head coaching openings, most notably the Atlanta Falcons.

Belichick’s contract history

In 1975, Belichick started his coaching career as an assistant with the Baltimore Colts. After that, he held a variety of jobs with the New York Giants, Detroit Lions, and Denver Broncos until accepting his first head coaching job with the Cleveland Browns in 1991.

In 1996, he made his debut with the Patriots as head coach Bill Parcels’ assistant, a position he held for just a single year. Rather than Pete Carroll, Belichick signed on as head coach in 2000 and made his way back to New England through the huge door.

The organization has been very protective of the terms of the experienced coach’s contract from the start. Although his first contract was reportedly for five years, in 2003 he signed two further extensions, one for an additional year.

The latest that is known, through leaks, is that he signed a new two-year contract in 2023. As it is a new contract and not an extension, upon leaving the Patriots, the team would only be obligated to pay the remaining year in this new agreement.
