How did Jon Gruden build his net worth?
Jon Gruden is a career coach for a few of America’s top football teams. He is also a highly respected sports commentator. He has a reported net worth of between $25 and $30 million.
Gruden served two years, from 1998-2001, as the Oakland Raiders head coach. He subsequently joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and was the youngest head coach in the history of the Super Bowl to lead a team to their maiden title in 2002.
However, the Buccaneers and Gruden parted ways as he was fired in January 2009.
So what now? Americans are no strangers to seeing Gruden on their TVs, as during his coaching hiatus, he appeared in six advertisements for the Hooters chain and Dunkin’ Donuts, to name two.
In September 2012, Gruden signed a contract extension with ESPN. They even extended his contract until 2021 as their lead analyst for Monday Night Football and hosting other shows on the network. He was ESPN’s highest-paid broadcaster earning an annual salary of $9 million.
The lure of cheering crowds, sweaty locker rooms, AND a 10-year $100 million contract saw Gruden take up his position again as head coach with the Oakland Raiders in 2018. However, he resigned on October 2021 after emails containing racially insensitive, misogynistic, and homophobic language came to light. He is currently in litigation, which will undoubtedly add to what he is spending.
How has Jon Gruden spent his wealth?
Jon Gruden and his wife bought an 8,684-square-foot home in the Southern Highlands community in Las Vegas, boasting five bedrooms and seven bathrooms, for $4.3 million in 2019, not including the adjacent empty lot which they paid $750,000 for.
Talk about a decent profit when, in 2021, he sold it for $7.025 million.
