The 2021 FIFA Best Football Coach, Emma Hayes is showing the world what she is made of. Under her watch, the USWNT ripped Zambia and Germany apart to qualify for the Olympic soccer tournament’s quarter-finals. Well, it indeed is a perfect way to do your job when you’re the highest-paid women’s soccer coach in the world. How much is she earning? We have you covered. Meanwhile, did you know that Hayes coached English giants Chelsea for 11 years and also helped expand her family’s currency exchange business in the UK? Let’s see how much worth the 47-year-old has raked in on the back of these on and off-the-pitch stints.

Though a devastating injury stopped Emma Hayes from being a superstar midfielder, she became a big shot in the world of managers. And a marketable one too. Yes, we’ll explore the endorsement deals the US coach has signed over the years as well.

What is Emma Hayes’ net worth in 2024?

Emma Hayes agreed in November 2023 to join the USWNT after ending her Chelsea stint in 2024. Hayes shook hands with the US team on a three-year deal that would see her earn a $2 million paycheck every season. Hayes’ predecessor Vlatko Andanovski notably earned just $446,495 a season. The former Chelsea boss then said she was absolutely worth this staggering salary. And the USWNT’s Olympic opening seems to be proving the veteran boss’ claim.

While being the highest-paid female coach, Emma Hayes’ net worth is estimated to be around $4 million. Some sources even say the English coach is worth $5 million. Hayes’ 23-year-long coaching stint that she started in 2001 has contributed largely to her eight-figure net worth. Besides that, she has also earned certain endorsement deals and also run her family business lately. Let’s explore the same as we go ahead.

Hayes’ endorsement deals and family business

Though she does not boast as impressive an endorsement portfolio as a soccer player would, coach Emma Hayes has indeed partnered with big brands to rake home a decent sum. The 47-year-old tactician has been endorsing Nike for quite long. It’s unclear when she shook hands with the American sporting giant or how long the deal would last. But Nike notably gave a signature shoe for the veteran coach during her last Chelsea game in a fitting tribute.

Besides Nike, Hayes is known to have endorsed the digital payment giant Visa as well. Back in 2011, the 47-year-old served as a consultant for the US-based women’s club Washington Freedom. However, the same year she left Washington and went home to join her family business, Covent Garden FX, a currency exchange firm. She would later on leave the family business for the Chelsea coaching job in 2012. But her brief stint in the exchange firm would surely have multiplied her earnings. Moreover, she must also be holding a significant share in the currency exchange firm, since it’s owned by her family.
