José Mourinho Net Worth and Salary: José Mourinho, GOIH is a Portuguese football manager and retired football player who has a net worth of $120 million dollars. Mourinho is the manager of Tottenham Hotspur, a Premier League football club out of London. He is widely known for his unique approach to football, which includes mixing both coaching theory and motivational techniques. José is also known for his unique style and “quirky” comments that he makes to the press as well as his vibrant personality. In 2005, Mourinho was named a Grand Officer of the Order of Prince Henry, one of the highest honors a Portuguese citizen can receive. The Portuguese Football Federation named him Portuguese Coach of the Century in 2015.

When José was brought on to coach Manchester United in 2016, he was given a contract that would pay him approximately $27 million per year. In December 2018, Manchester bought his contract out for a reported $28 million. Combined with other buyouts, Mourinho has earned around $60 million from various clubs to NOT coach their teams.

Early Life: José Mourinho was born José Mário dos Santos Mourinho Félix on January 26, 1963, in Setúbal, Portugal. His mother, Maria, was a primary school teacher, and his father, José (better known as Felix), was a professional football player. José was a member of the Belenenses youth team, and after he reached the senior level, he played at Sesimbra, Rio Ave, and Belenenses. Though Maria enrolled her son in business school, José only lasted a day there and decided to study sports science at the Instituto Superior de Educação Física in Lisbon. He also attended English and Scottish Football Association coaching courses.

Coaching Career: Mourinho began his coaching career in schools, and in the early 1990s, he coached a youth team at Vitória de Setúbal and was an assistant manager at Estrela da Amadora. In 1992, José began working as a translator for coach Bobby Robson at Sporting CP, a Lisbon football club, and kept interpreting for him after Robson became the head coach of Portuguese football club Porto. While Mourinho was working as Robson’s assistant, Porto won several championships, and José and Bobby moved on to Barcelona football club in 1996. When Robson left Barcelona, Mourinho stayed on as an assistant manager and started working with coach Louis van Gaal, who let José take on more of the coaching duties, such as leading the first team during the Copa Catalunya competition.

Managerial Career: In September 2000, Mourinho became the manager of Benfica football club after the departure of Jupp Heynckes. A few weeks later, Bobby Robson asked José to be his assistant manager at Newcastle United, but Mourinho declined the offer. José left Benfica in December of that year and began managing União de Leiria, a Portuguese football club, in July 2001. In January 2002, he replaced Octávio Machado as the manager of Porto, and the team finished in third place that year. While Mourinho was manager, Porto won the Taça de Portugal, Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira, and UEFA Cup. He left Porto in June 2004 after English football club Chelsea offered him a 3-year contract and agreed to a £1.7 million compensation package with Porto. Under José’s management, Chelsea won the FA Cup, the Football League Cup (twice), the FA Community Shield, and the Premier League championship (twice).

Mourinho left Chelsea in September 2007 and replaced Roberto Mancini as manager of Italian football club Inter Milan in June 2008. He stayed with Inter Milan until 2010, and the club won Serie A twice, Coppa Italia, Supercoppa Italiana, and the UEFA Champions League. José took over for Real Madrid manager Manuel Pellegrini in May 2010, also becoming first-team coach, and he led the club to wins at La Liga, Copa del Rey, and Supercopa de España. From 2013 to 2015, Mourinho returned to Chelsea, winning another Football League Cup and Premier League championship. Despite signing a 4-year contract with Chelsea in 2013 and again in 2015, José left at the end of 2015 and joined Manchester United in May 2016. He was fired by Manchester United in December 2018, but while he was managing them, the club won the EFL Cup, FA Community Shield, and the UEFA Europa League championship. In November 2019, Mourinho signed a 4-year contract with Tottenham Hotspur, and in June 2020, Tottenham gave him his 300th English football win.

Personal Life: José married Matilde “Tami” Faria in 1989, and they welcomed daughter Matilde in 1996 and son José Jr. (who grew up to become a football player) in 2000. Mourinho speaks Portuguese, French, Spanish, English, Italian, and Catalan and has been a Global Ambassador of the United Nations’ World Food Programme since 2014. A devout Roman Catholic, José has said that he prays every day, and he voiced Pope Francis in an animated film that was approved by the Vatican.

AskMen.com ranked Mourinho #9 on their 2010 Most Influential Men list, and the Spanish version of “Rolling Stone” magazine named him “Rockstar of the Year” in 2011. In 2019, José hosted “On the Touchline with José Mourinho” on the RT network and joined Sky Sports as a commentator for their Premier League coverage.

Awards and Honors: Mourinho has won dozens of awards for his coaching and managerial work. He has been named Onze d’Or Coach of the Year (2005), FIFA World Coach of the Year (2010), Premier League Manager of the Season (2004–05, 2005–06, and 2014–15), UEFA Manager of the Year (2002–03 and 2003–04), and World Soccer Magazine World Manager of the Year (2004, 2005, and 2010). José was awarded a Doctor Honoris causa from Lisbon Technical University in 2009, and he holds the Guinness World Records for “Longest football unbeaten home run by a manager” and “Youngest football manager to reach 100 UEFA Champions League matches.”

Stevie Nicks’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Stevie Nicks Net Worth: Stevie Nicks is an American singer/songwriter who has a net worth of $120 million. She is well known for being a member of the supergroup Fleetwood Mac, as well as having her own highly successful solo career. Stevie is the only woman in history, as of this writing, to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice: as a member of Fleetwood Mac and then as a solo artist. Stevie wrote many songs that would go on to become modern classics. As the songwriter and composer, she has earned the lion’s share of royalties for those works over the decades. In December 2020 she sold an 80% interest in these copyrights to music publisher Primary Wave for $80 million. Early Life and Career Beginnings: Stephanie Lynn Nicks, better known as Stevie Nicks, was born in Phoenix, Arizona, on May 26, 1948. Her father, Jess Nicks, was the president of Greyhound, and as a result the family moved around the country fairly often. Her nickname “Stevie” came as a result of her pronouncing her name as “tee-dee” when she was a toddler. She began singing at a young age, when her grandfather taught her to sing duets with him. At age 16, Nicks received a Goya guitar, and began writing her own songs. While a student at Menlo-Atherton High School in Atherton, California, Nicks met Lindsey Buckingham, her future musical and romantic partner. Buckingham invited her to join his psychedelic rock band Fritz, and the band enjoyed minor success as the opening act for artists like Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin during the late 1960s. Both Nicks and Buckingham attended San Jose State University, but eventually she dropped out of college to pursue her musical career full time. Career: After Fritz disbanded in 1972, Nicks continued to work with Buckingham on new musical projects, and they managed to secure a record deal and release an album as a duo, “Buckingham Nicks”, in 1973. After working a series of odd jobs, the pair were contacted by drummer Mick Fleetwood, and they joined his band Fleetwood Mac in 1975. Fleetwood Mac’s tenth album (the first featuring Nicks and Buckingham), “Fleetwood Mac”, was released in July 1975. Their next album, “Rumours” (1977), was the best-selling album of the year and reported sales of over 40 million copies worldwide. It remained in the No. 1 spot on the American albums chart for 31 weeks and reached the top spot in various other countries as well. It also won Album of the Year in 1978 and produced four U.S. Top 10 singles. Other albums she released with Fleetwood Mac include “Tusk” (1979), “Mirage” (1982), “Tango in the Night” (1987), “Behind the Mask” (1990), and “Say You Will” (2003). Nicks launched her solo career in 1981 with the album “Bella Donna”. It was certified platinum by the RIAA in less than three months, and was eventually certified quadruple-platinum. Her other solo albums include “The Wild Heart” (1983), “Rock a Little” (1985), “The Other Side of the Mirror” (1989), “Street Angel” (1994), “Trouble in Shangri-La” (2001), “In Your Dreams” (2011), and “24 Karat Gold: Songs from the Vault” (2014). Nicks is known for her distinctive voice, incorporating a fast vibrato, her mystical visual style and symbolic lyrics. As a solo artist, she has been nominated for eight Grammy Awards, and with Fleetwood Mac she has been nominated for six Grammy Awards. She is the only woman to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice—once as a member of Fleetwood Mac in 1998, and once as a solo artist in 2019. Live Nation Earnings: In October 2018 we learned some of the financial inner-workings of today’s Fleetwood Mac thanks to a lawsuit filed by on-again-off-again member Lindsey Buckingham. Buckingham sued his former bandmates after he was abruptly removed from the group’s 2018-2019 Live Nation tour. The lawsuit claimed that according to terms of their deal with Live Nation, each band member would receive $200,000 per show over 60 shows, for a total payout of $12 million. The amount could reach as high as $14 million depending on various attendance milestones and additional dates added down the road. Three months later the lawsuit was settled for an undisclosed amount. Buckingham released a statement saying: “We’ve all signed off on something. I’m happy enough with it. I’m not out there trying to twist the knife at all. I’m trying to look at this with some level of compassion, some level of wisdom.“ Song Catalog Sale: On December 4, 2020 it was announced that Stevie had reached a deal to sell an 80% stake in her music catalog to music publisher Primary Wave at a value of $100 million, meaning she was paid $80 million while still holding a 20% stake. The catalog includes the copyright to songs like “Edge of Seventeen”, “Landslide” and “Rhiannon”. Real Estate: In 2005, Nicks paid roughly $9 million for a gated home on 1.2 acres in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles. She listed the home for sale in December 2017 for $14 million. She did not ultimately get a buyer for that price. She did eventually sell the home in an off market deal so the exact date and final price are not available. In 2004, she paid $3 million for an ocean-view penthouse condo in nearby Santa Monica. In 1981, Nicks built a custom 8,000 square-foot mansion in Paradise Valley, Arizona, not far from where she was born and grew up. For many years she shared the compound with her brother and his family. She sold the home in 2007 for $3 million. Personal Life: Nicks has only been married once, to Kim Anderson in 1983. Anderson was the widower of her friend Robin Anderson, who passed away from cancer shortly after giving birth and naming Nicks the godmother of her child. Nicks has said that she and Anderson only got married because they “were grieving and it was the only way that [they] could feel like [they] were doing anything”, and they got divorced after only three months. People Nicks has been romantically linked to include Lindsey Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood, Don Henley, J.A. Souther, Jimmy Iovine, and Joe Walsh. She is an ordained minister with the Universal Life Church, and was the officiant at the wedding of singers John McCauley and Vanessa Carlton.
