Working on an assumption that the reported $110 million contract signed in 2021 is accurate, Riley’s net worth has increased significantly following his departure from Oklahoma.
Having originally signed a five-year deal worth $32 million in 2019, Riley penned a contract extension that increased his salary to $45.21 million over six years in 2020. Allegedly, Oklahoma was working on a new deal for their head coach at the time of his departure to USC.
In addition to the salary aspect of his contract, Riley’s net worth is bolstered by other financial perks. Once again, as a private university, USC doesn’t have to provide the details and hasn’t done so.

However, there has been speculation about the additional benefits that USC has afforded Riley. Those include the purchase of a $6 million LA home and the Trojans buying his two properties in Norman. It’s worth pointing out that those claims have been disputed.
There appears to be truth, however, in the assertion that Riley’s contract with the Trojans includes unlimited access to the USC private jet for himself and his family’s personal use.
Every coaching contract has inbuilt performance bonuses. While there are no details of how Riley will be rewarded for on-field success, his previous Oklahoma contract included bonuses in excess of $600,000 for conference titles, national championship wins, and coach of the year awards.
