Tom Thibodeau takes his job as a head coach very seriously. He is super intense at all times. He often loses his voice from yelling so much. He has a tendency to play his players an insane amount of minutes (just ask Jimmy Butler). But his methods have produced some fruitful results (as we will soon see).
So, how much does Thibodeau get for all his effort? In this post, we discuss Thibodeau’s salary, his net worth, coaching record, and more.

Thibodeau is in the fourth season of a five-year deal with the New York Knicks. According to the New York Post, Thibodeau makes around five million dollars per year on that deal.
After a strong 2023-24 campaign, Thibodeau is expected to be extended this summer for the “market rate” of ten million dollars per year.

According to the website Celebrity Net Worth, Thibodeau’s net worth is roughly twelve million dollars. While it can’t be said with absolute certainty, it is assumed that most of his wealth has been built up from his income as an NBA coach.
Thibodeau has been the Knicks’ head coach since 2020. But before that, he was the leading man for the Chicago Bulls (2010-15) and the Minnesota Timberwolves (2016-19). And before that, Thibodeau was an assistant on six different NBA teams from 1989 to 2010.

Tom Thibodeau Wife
Thibodeau is not and has not ever been married. He also does not have any children. Thibodeau once told the New York Times that he was engaged while he was in college at Salem State University but that they eventually called it off. There was also a quote in the story that said Thibodeau’s reason for never getting married was because “There’s no room in my life for a woman if I’m going to be a basketball coach.”
