When your voice is behind one of the world’s most popular shows, you must be making a fortune. Well, that is the case for Al Michaels, who is currently the most popular announcer in the NFL. Since 1971, he has served as the NFL’s voice, and no game is complete without him. He has accomplished a great deal in this field, and has even received the Sports Emmy Award for lifetime accomplishment in 2011.
After accomplishing all of these great acts, it is common to presume that the man would have accumulated a treasure. But what is the amount Al Michaels is making? The answer is quite astonishingly high. Many of you would not know that the man is currently earning between 14 and 16 million dollars per year after he signed the Amazon contract. It’s a three-year deal, so the man will earn between $45 and $48 million from it.

Geez! This is big money, considering most players do not earn this much. But we all know that he deserves to make this type of money after everything that he has done in the business. Moving away from his annual earnings, how much is his net worth? Well, this thing is also shocking, but the scene is that his current contract pays him a lot more than what previous ones paid him. This is why, as of May 2024, the man had a total net worth of $40 million (pretty low if we look at his current contract).
Although this is a bit lower than expected, we know it will skyrocket in the coming years as a result of Al Michaels’ Amazon deal. Aside from all of this financial stuff, let’s also look at the NFL announcer’s personal life.
