Jurgen Klopp Net Worth (2025): Salary, Achievements And More

Jurgen Klopp shocked the world at the start of 2024 after announcing he was leaving Liverpool at the end of the 2023/2024 season in January 2024. The German tactician was widely seen as one of the greatest managers in the world. Since arriving at Liverpool in 2015, he transformed the football club from struggling top-four contenders to Premier League challengers almost every season. He completed the ultimate goal in 2020 when they won the Premier League title, a year after winning the Champions League in Madrid.

The German has been a huge success in football, not just at Liverpool but also with Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga. With Dortmund, he won five trophies, including two Bundesliga campaigns. The 2011/2012 season saw the German giants complete the double (league and cup), which is why he is still so highly regarded by their fans, even if he left in 2015.

Unsurprisingly, Klopp has earned his fair share of cash over the years. From wages, bonuses and sponsorship deals, he was one of the highest-paid managers in the world. It’s only improved his net worth over the years. Now, having started his new job as the Head of Global Soccer at Red Bull GmbH on the 1st January 2025, the German is still earning a considerable fortune as a salary.

This article has been created using stats from across the internet, providing an accurate and in-depth detail of his net worth, wage, trophy haul and charity work.

Jurgen Klopp Net Worth 2025

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Jurgen Klopp’s net worth is north of $50 million (£39 million). The total is hardly surprising given Klopp has managed two of the greatest clubs in the world – Dortmund and Liverpool. The Reds play in the most competitive and richest league in the world, ultimately leading to more money. Klopp is also a former professional footballer. He played 325 times for Mainz from 1990 to 2001, according to Wikipedia. It wouldn’t have been the largest wage in the world, particularly compared to the modern day, but he still would have been living fairly comfortably. It has only helped him increase his net worth over the years. As highlighted by the table below, Klopp is the ninth wealthiest manager in the world – and the wealthiest German – showcasing how he has continually excelled over the years.

Jurgen Klopp’s Salary

At the turn of the new year, Klopp commenced his job as the Head of Global Soccer at Red Bull GmbH, which has seen him keep an eye on the company’s portfolio of clubs across the world, including the likes of RB Leipzig and RB Salzburg among others. According to Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg, the German is earning a salary in the region of £8m-£10m a year, meaning that he is earning more than 18 managers in the Premier League right now (only Mikel Arteta at Arsenal and Pep Guardiola at Manchester City earn more).

According to Sport, Klopp’s annual salary was £18.5m a year while he was still at Liverpool. That equals around £350,000 per week for the entire year. This will be alongside a plethora of endorsements and sponsorship opportunities, which will only raise his value every year. Those details are not within the public domain, but we can expect them to be in the millions each year.

The Liverpool manager has sponsorship deals with Opel, Erdinger, VR-Bank, Snickers, Deutsche Vermogensberatung, and formerly Puma. He’s also an ambassador for Adidas. It’s a broad selection for the German manager which will help him live a luxurious life for the rest of his career. In 2021, the Sun reported that these earned Klopp an extra £6.7 million per year. Although this is not up to date and can not provide true insight, it provides a strong idea of how wealthy Klopp is.

When Klopp announced his decision to retire, he said he was burnt out from the demands of the job. He has been battling Pep Guardiola for years in the Premier League, only coming out on top once. Being a Premier League manager is incredibly stressful, and – although the wage would have helped him try to relax at home – money can not fix every problem, which is why Klopp is stepping away for a prolonged period. As outlined below, Klopp is the third-best-paid manager in the world. Only Diego Simeone and Guardiola have a higher annual wage, but, considering Klopp is one of the best managers in the world, it is not exactly surprising that FSG and Liverpool’s board paid him so handsomely.

Trophies Won

When you think of world-class managers, you think of Klopp. His ‘gegenpressing’ tactics and high-pressure ideas worked at Dortmund and they worked at Liverpool. At times, his teams were exciting to watch, consistently looking to win the ball back high up the pitch. Virgil van Dijk at Liverpool would often sit on the halfway line, knowing the team’s high line would help them dictate the match’s tempo. It was a joy to watch, leading to trophies throughout his time at the club.

However, it wasn’t just at Liverpool where Klopp won a plethora of trophies. He also celebrated five success stories at Dortmund before leaving at the end of the 2014/2015 season. His back-to-back Bundesliga trophies shocked the world as they beat Bayern Munich to glory. Yet it wasn’t all plain sailing for Klopp at Dortmund. They lost the 2013 Champions League final to Bayern Munich at Wembley, leaving a sharp pain in the hearts of their fans. Success at the ‘home of football’ would have completed an incredible story in Germany.

Klopp Charity Work

Not only is Klopp a world-class manager, but he is also a sincere and well-respected human around the world. His donations to charities around the world showcase that. He is the brand ambassador of a German anti-racism campaign called Respekt! And also frequently donates to numerous cancer charities alongside the NHS in England.

Meanwhile, in October 2019, he donated £10,000 (approx 235k Rands) to a South African Children’s Football Charity. He made this contribution to the initiative – Joy is Round, run by the Hout Bay United Football Community in South Africa. The initiative aimed to promote and raise funds for the community of football in the country, through the sale of balls and art, made of old clothing and other materials. Donating to another important cause highlights how Klopp is not all about football and money.

Moreover, back in September 2019, Klopp announced that he became a member of the Common Goal charity family. He made this announcement while collecting the Men’s Coach of the Year prize at the Best Fifa Football Awards in Milan, Italy. Common Goal charity is a pledge-based movement for the football industry, launched by Spain international and Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata. In this charity, footballers and coaches donate 1% of their annual salary towards various football charities around the world. With Klopp’s wage of around £350,000 per week, he donates over £3,000 per week to the charity, making a huge difference over the year. Across the 52 weeks, it would see the German donate over £150,000.
