How Rich Is Erik Ten Hag? 

As mentioned above, Erik ten Hag has a significant net worth. Since becoming the head coach of Ajax, ten Hag began making a lot of money. 

Adding the value of all his assets and bank balance, Erik ten Hag has a net worth of $4 million, as per several sources. 

It is good to note that money is not a factor for the Dutchman since he comes from a rich family. He defied his father’s rules to join business as he had an interest in football. 

Erik ten Hag’s father, Hennie, is a successful businessman who owns a real estate company and other financial firms. He wanted his son to be involved in the family business alongside his brothers, Rico and Michel. But Erik made it clear that he had other passions at a very young age. 

Rico and Michel are now in charge of their father’s company, which was founded in 1967. Michel is the chairman of the company’s board. He assumed more responsibility at the company after his father stepped back.
