What Is Harbaugh’s Current Net Worth?

At 62 years old, Harbaugh is the second-oldest head coach in the NFL and he has been coaching since 1984 (and at the NFL level since 1998), so it makes sense that he’s been able to do really well for himself financially.
His journey to becoming an NFL head coach was unconventional, having served as a special teams coordinator and secondary coach before taking the helm in 2008. Harbaugh’s commitment to excellence has made the Ravens one of the NFL’s most consistently competitive franchises.
