Jon Scheyer's net worth in 2024
10/01/2024 06:25 PM
Jon Scheyer’s net worth in 2024 is $5 million. Scheyer is the head coach for Duke men’s basketball and should be the man in Durham for a long time to come after signing a six-year contract extension in November 2023. Scheyer, 37, took over two seasons ago for legendary coach Mike Krzyzewski and led the Blue Devils to an ACC Tournament Championship.
Duke also had three two No. 1 recruiting classes in the nation under Scheyer, and with his extension, recruiting skill and on-court success, the transition from Krzyzewski has been pretty seamless. Oh yeah, and they landed next year’s top recruit, Cooper Flagg, too. Here’s a little more about Jon Scheyer’s net worth in 2024 and career.

Jon Scheyer’s net worth is currently around $5 million. This is according to Sportskeeda.
However, with his new contract, and if Duke men’s basketball continues to be successful, that number should be rocketing up. While the exact amount Duke will pay him is not known publicly, the Duke job is one of the most prestigious in men’s college basketball, so he’ll be well compensated.
Scheyer was a Duke legend in his own right but never took his game to the next level. His ascension to the top spot at Duke will be his biggest spotlight yet.
Jon Scheyer’s playing career
Scheyer made a name for himself at Duke first as a player. In four years there, he played 144 games for the Blue Devils from 2006-2010. He made the ACC All-Freshman, won ACC Tournament MVP, was named to the NCAA All-Tournament team, and most importantly, won an NCAA championship his senior year.
On the Blue Devils’ 2010 title team that featured seven players who would earn some sort of NBA experience (Scheyer not among them), the 6’5 guard led them in scoring and assists, finishing his final season in Durham averaging 18.2 points, 3.6 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game.
In a time where the NCAA championship was passed between Chapel Hill and Durham almost every other year, Scheyer was the face of a generation of Duke success.
Coach Jon Scheyer
Scheyer couldn’t stay out of Durham for long after playing, though, and joined his former coach’s staff in 2013-14. Under Krzyzewski, Scheyer worked his way up the ladder. He established himself as one of college basketball’s best recruiters and assistant coaches.
Scheyer’s intimate knowledge of the Duke systems and programs, both from the player and coaching perspective, granted him a wealth of experience to draw from. Scheyer was a fixture on the bench in Coach K’s final years, as his stature as a coach grew with rumors about his potential succession.

And yet, despite that experience, Scheyer was still the youngest Power 5 conference men’s basketball coach. In his first year, Scheyer showed all his experience paid off.
He led Duke to a 27-9 record in the 2022-23 season, finishing the year at No. 12 in the AP poll. Duke went undefeated at home in his first year, and swept bitter rival North Carolina.
The Blue Devils won the ACC Tournament by avenging an overtime regular-season loss to Virginia, which meant they entered the NCAA tournament winning nine straight. However, they didn’t make it out of the first weekend of NCAA Tournament play.
In his second season, the Devils repeated their 27-9 record and finished second in the ACC during the regular season. However, they lost in the first round of the ACC Tournament. The Blue Devils had greater success in the NCAA Tournament, but lost in the Regional Final to in-state rival NC State, just one win shy of a Final Four bid.
Still, Scheyer’s first two seasons were a success. And with his experience and recruiting prowess, as well as the prestige of Duke’s basketball history, the Blue Devils are in good hands—which is bad news for the rest of the ACC. Nevertheless, did Jon Scheyer’s net worth in 2024 surprise you?
