Michael O'Neill tops annual list of highest-paid coaches
In 2022 it looked like the coach’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Thursday (November 21) that O'Neill is the highest-paid coach in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $40 million lead over his closest competition.
People With Money’s factors
In compiling this yearly list, the magazine considers factors such as upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.
The Irish coach has an estimated net worth of $215 million. He owes his fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. He also owns several restaurants (the “Fat O'Neill Burger” chain) in Belfast, a Football Team (the “Portadown Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondero'Neill - Northern Ireland), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Michael) and a fashion line called “Michael O'Neill Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Michael fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
