What is Bill Belichick’s Net Worth?

Bill Belichick is an American football head coach who has a net worth of $60 million. Bill Belichick is well-known to the public as the head coach of the New England Patriots. In 1975, Belichick started his career when he agreed to work for the Baltimore Colts.

During the 1980s, when he was the New York Giants defensive coordinator, he was recognized as one of the top minds in the game. After a trying stint as the Cleveland Browns head coach in the early 1990s, Bill was hired by the New England Patriots in 2000.

He has steered the group to six Super Bowl victories as of 2020. He was one of the greatest coaches in NFL history thanks to his early football prowess, which he probably inherited from his father, a veteran assistant coach and college football scout.

Childhood

Bill Belichick was born William Stephen Belichick on April 16, 1952, in Nashville, Tennessee. Bill’s godfather is Bill Edwards, a college football coach who has been inducted into the Hall of Fame. With his mother Jeanette and father Steve, who worked as an assistant football coach at the United States Naval Academy, he was raised in Annapolis, Maryland.

Belichick frequently accompanied Steve to coaches’ meetings where he watched his father evaluate game tape and map out plays. Bill had become a regular at team sessions by the time he was in his early teens and was knowledgeable about the formations and strategies used in the sport.

Football and lacrosse were two of Belichick’s sports at Annapolis High School. He received his diploma in 1970, and after spending a year as a postgraduate student at Phillips Academy in Massachusetts, where he improved his grades and test results, he was accepted to Wesleyan University.

Bill was the lacrosse team captain at Wesleyan, and he also played squash and belonged to the Chi Psi fraternity. He was a tight end and center for the football team. With an economics bachelor’s degree in hand, Belichick left school in 1975.

Career

Belichick joined the Baltimore Colts as Ted Marchibroda’s assistant coach after earning his degree from Wesleyan, earning $25 per week. He started out as the Detroit Lions’ assistant special teams coach in 1976 before moving on to instruct wide receivers and tight ends the following year.

As a defensive assistant and assistant special teams coach for the Denver Broncos, Bill started working there in 1978. With the New York Giants in 1979, he held the same positions, and in 1980, he started teaching linebackers.

Belichick joined the Giants in 1985 as their defensive coordinator, and the group won the Super Bowl in 1987 and 1991. Bill’s Super Bowl XXV defensive game plan earned him a spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Belichick became the head coach of the Cleveland Browns in 1991 and served in that capacity until 1995. When it was revealed that the team would relocate to Baltimore, Bill was promised that he would take over as head coach of the new squad, but he was sacked instead.

Belichick joined the New York Jets as interim head coach in 1997, and after Bill Parcells was named head coach, he was promoted to assistant head coach and defensive coordinator. In 1996, he was hired by the New England Patriots as assistant head coach and defensive backs coach.

Parcells planned for Belichick to take over in 1999, but the day after he was named head coach, Bill announced his resignation in a press conference. In 2000, he took over as general manager and head coach of the New England Patriots. A Patriots video assistant was found to have recorded the New York Jets defensive signals in “Spygate,” which resulted in a $500,000 fine for Bill.

The Patriots also paid a $250,000 fine, and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell deducted them from getting a first-round pick in the subsequent NFL Draft. During the course of the team’s history, Belichick has led them to more victories than any other coach, including nine visits to the Super Bowl, which they won in 2002, 2004, 2005, 2015, 2017, and 2019.

Accolades

Belichick has the distinction of being the only active head coach chosen for the 2019 National Football League 100th Anniversary All-Time Team. He was named NFL Coach of the Year by The Associated Press three times—in 2003, 2007, and 2010.

2008 saw Bill’s induction into the Wesleyan University Athletics Hall of Fame, and 2011 saw him honored in the Phillips Academy Athletics Hall of Fame. The Warren Street lobby at Wesleyan University was renamed “Belichick Plaza” in 2017.

Real Estate

The Belichicks built 3 homes for themselves, Bill’s parents, and Debby’s parents on the two sites they had bought for $70,000 on Shell Street in Sconset, Massachusetts in 1979. Bill and Debby spent $4.6 million on a five-bedroom house on Nantucket, and as part of the divorce settlement, Debby received the house.

A Shell Street property costing $870,000 and an adjacent 2-bedroom house costing $2.45 million were acquired in 2014 by firms Bill had created.

Relationship

Bill and Debby Clarke were married in 1977, and before getting divorced in 2006, they had three children together: Amanda, Stephen, and Brian. The separation came about as a result of Belichick’s alleged liaison with Sharon Shenocca, a former Giants’ front desk employee. Like her father, Amanda played lacrosse at Wesleyan before becoming Holy Cross College’s head coach for the sport.

Both Brian and Stephen have held positions with the Patriots, with Brian serving as a scouting assistant and Stephen as the safeties coach. The Bill Belichick Foundation, which offers financial assistance, coaching, and mentoring to people, groups, and communities interested in football and lacrosse, is run by Linda Holliday, the Executive Director of the foundation. Bill and Linda started dating in 2007.
