Jon Scheyer has Duke on the cusp of its first national championship game in ten years. The Blue Devils head coach's rise has been lightning-fast. In just two years, Scheyer led the team from a second-round playoff exit to a Finals contender, and his salary commensurate with his accomplishments.
Scheyer was a standout player for the Blue Devils in college. Despite going unselected in the 2010 NBA Draft, he continued his career in the G League and later with Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Israeli league and Gran Canaria in Spain.
In 2014, he returned to the US to Duke as an assistant coach. In 2018, Mike Krzyzewski made him his associate head coach, and in 2022, following his mentor's retirement, he signed on as the Blue Devils' head coach. Scheyer has maintained his mentor's legacy, returning the team to a Finals title.
What is Scheyer's net worth?
According to specialized sites such as Sportskeeda and College Sports Network, Scheyer's net worth is $5 million as of March 2025. Following his initial contract, Scheyer signed a six-year extension in 2023, with an annual salary between $7 and $8 million.
Although the details of the Blue Devils head coach's contract are not public, it is common for such deals to include performance and championship incentives.
Scheyer's income during his time in the G League and European basketball is unknown. Likewise, there is no news of any major sponsorships or investments that could supplement his net worth.
The Blue Devils' season
The 2024-2025 season was extraordinary for Duke. Under Scheyer, the team captured the ACC title with a 19-1 (34-3 overall) record and earned the top seed for March Madness. After tough wins over Mount St. Mary's, Baylor, Arizona, and Alabama, the Blue Devils will face Houston for a spot in the finals.
If Scheyer wins the title that has eluded them for ten years, that will undoubtedly be big leverage in negotiating his next contract at the end of the 2028-2029 season, boosting his earnings and net worth to the elite level of the NCAA.
