Nick Bosa's Net Worth in 2024 and How Much He Makes With the 49ers
Nick Bosa
Nick Bosa was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers at second overall in 2019 and his net worth has been growing ever since. Not to mention his accolades. He won AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year for his 2022 season, and this year marches on to the Super Bowl with his team.
During Super Bowl LIV in 2020, Bosa played with the 49ers against the Kansas City Chiefs, ultimately losing 31-20. “Very grateful for the opportunity against the same team. We have to make it count this time,” he said at the recent Super Bowl Opening Night in Las Vegas.
Take a look at how Bosa got his start and what kind of money he has made as one of the NFL’s best defensive backs.
How did Nick Bosa get his start?
With an older brother who plays for the Chargers, it makes sense that Bosa would have a family history of professional sports. His grandfather, Palmer Pyle, played for three NFL teams in the 1960s, and Pyle’s brother played for the Chicago Bears (and won a Super Bowl).
Bosa’s dad was also a star athlete, playing defensive end for Boston College and getting picked by the Miami Dolphins in the 1987 NFL Draft. His uncle, Eric Kumerow, also played for Miami in the ‘80s and his cousin, Jake Kumerow, plays wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills now.
Long story short, it couldn’t have been a surprise when Nick and his brother Joey started playing football at ages 7 and 9. They later moved from Miami to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, so they could attend a high school known for producing top athletes.
"Ultimately, they're just really good," Bosa’s dad John told Sports Illustrated. "When you have the genetic gifts they had ... they just loved it. It's a lot of fun to knock the crap out of people."
Where did Nick Bosa go to college?
Bosa played football at Ohio State University from 2016 to 2018, helping the Buckeyes go 36-5 in that time period and winning the Big Ten championship in 2018.
What is Nick Bosa's net worth in 2024?
In 2024, Nick Bosa has an estimated net worth of $50 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. His high net worth backs up his status as one of the best defensive ends in the NFL—and is particularly impressive given that he is only 26 years old.

How much is Nick Bosa getting paid?
Nick Bosa’s average annual value is about $34 million. His contract is structured to pay him mostly via bonuses, which makes his base salary look pretty low. But make no mistake, the defensive end is signed to a five-year, $170 million contract and is one of the highest-paid non-quarterback players in the league.
What is Nick Bosa's salary?
For 2023, Bosa’s base salary was just over $1 million and it ticks slightly up to $1.125 million in 2024. However, he’ll make tens of millions more through various bonuses worked into his contract, not to mention endorsements.
Is Nick Bosa the highest-paid player on the 49ers?
In terms of contract value, Bosa is the highest-paid player on the 49ers with his five-year contract that totals $170 million. Trent Williams comes in second with a six-year, $138.06 million contract and Fred Warnes makes third with a six-year, $95.22 million contract.
In terms of 2024 cap hit, though, Bosa doesn’t even crack the top five. His contract is structured to only cost the 49ers $14.67 million this year, giving the team room to sign even more talent from the draft and free agency.
Who makes more money, Joey Bosa or Nick Bosa?
Joey and Nick Bosa are brothers who managed to make it into the highest level of football: the NFL. While Nick plays defensive end for the S.F. 49ers, Joey—older by two years—plays linebacker for the L.A. Chargers.
"It's hard to explain, but everything we do looks the same," Nick said to the San Francisco Chronicle in 2019. "The moves we use, the way we run, the way we walk, the way we stand. Everything just looks similar."
While both are highly regarded and well-paid, even among other NFL players, Nick makes more than Joey. He’s signed to an impressive five-year, $170 million contract with an average annual value of $34 million. In comparison, Joey has a five-year, $135 million contract with an average annual value of $27 million.
