Miami Heat Head Coach Erik Spoelstra Contract, Salary, Net Worth, Coaching Record, and Wife

If someone asked you to list off the people that come to mind when you hear the term ‘Heat Culture,’ you likely wouldn’t get too far down the list without naming Erik Spoelstra. For the last 16 years, Erik Spoelstra has led the Miami Heat into battle as their head coach. And during that time, Spoelstra has helped the Heat earn seven conference finals appearances, six NBA Finals appearances, and two NBA titles.

How much have Spoelstra’s efforts netted him financially? In this post, we discuss Spoelstra’s salary, his net worth, coaching record, and more.

Erik Spoelstra Contract And Salary

According to the good folks at Sportico, Spoelstra makes about 8.5 million dollars per year. That is on the higher end of NBA salaries. Many coaches earn somewhere between three and five million dollars annually (guys like Adrian Griffin and Steve Clifford). However, Spoelstra currently gets paid less than guys like Steve Kerr and Monty Williams.

Spoelstra is in the final year of his current deal. In June, after Williams signed his deal with the Detroit Pistons, it was reported that Spoelstra could be making 20 million dollars a year on his next extension, which would make him the highest-paid coach in the league by a significant margin.

Erik Spoelstra Net Worth

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Spoelstra’s net worth is roughly 14 million dollars. We mentioned earlier that Spoelstra has been the head coach of the Heat for over half a decade (since 2008-09). But he’s been an employee of the organization even longer than that. In fact, Spoelstra has been with the Heat since 1995, when he was hired by the team as a video coordinator.
