$45 million worth Deion Sanders unlocks weekly $100,000 bonus on the back of massive Big 12 win
Colorado Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders, who has an estimated net worth of $45 million (per Celebrity Net Worth), is racking up some serious bonus cash as his team continues to win.
After their latest victory over Big 12 rival Texas Tech, Sanders unlocked a $100,000 bonus—bringing his total bonus earnings to $400,000 this season. After registering the seventh victory of the season, each additional win will now net him another $100,000 for the rest of the regular season.
Earlier, Sanders totaled $300,000 in bonuses after their Oct. 26 win over Cincinnati, which marked the team’s sixth victory and confirmed bowl eligibility.
With a five-year, $29.5 million contract (ranking 38th among college football coaches), Coach Prime’s annual salary lands around $5.7 million, including $500,000 in base pay with the rest tied to media and promotional duties.
According to Front Office Sports, he’s eligible for up to $2.45 million in bonuses—the ninth-highest potential bonus in the league.
It’s a rewarding season for Prime Time and the Buffaloes, and every win is only adding to his momentum—and his paycheck.
Deion Sanders shared a funny moment with his sons about a bonus
The Buffaloes secured a 41-27 road victory over Texas Tech at Jones AT&T Stadium on Saturday. After the game, Deion Sanders shared a funny moment with his sons, Shedeur and Shilo.
Shedeur playfully questioned his dad about a rumored win bonus:
"I heard you get like extra $100,000 per win. Where mine at?"
The exchange, captured in a video by Bleacher Report, has Deion laughing it off, saying:
“That’s not true.”
Per reports, in addition to Deion Sanders’ football and baseball salaries, he has earned money from endorsements with companies such as Nike, Pepsi and Burger King.
Colorado is trailing undefeated BYU in the Big 12 standings, but it has a strong shot at making the playoffs with three winnable games left. The Buffaloes will face Utah, Kansas and Oklahoma State to determine who’ll take the top spot in the conference.
