Nick Saban 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 Monday (December 23) that Saban is the highest-paid coach in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between November 2023 and November 2024, a nearly $60 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 American coach has an estimated net worth of $275 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 Saban Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Fairmont Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondersaban - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Nick) and a fashion line called “Nick Saban Seduction”.

The ranking is significant for many Nick fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
