Over the course of his 24-year tenure leading the New England Patriots, Bill Belichick secured his place as one of the NFL’s greatest head coaches, as well as potentially earning over $200 million.

Belichick, 71, who mutually agreed to part ways on Thursday with Patriots owner Robert Kraft, was in the middle of a contract he signed in 2023 worth a reported $25 million per year. The contract ran through at least the end of the 2024 season and made him the highest paid coach in US sports.
