From the worst team in the NBA to legitimate playoff contenders. In less than a year, JB Bickerstaff has turned the Detroit Pistons franchise around with his incredible coaching. When he took on the head coaching job last summer, he set his priorities straight, “We’re going to put a group of players on the floor that will compete each night and we won’t skip steps to be successful.”
That’s exactly what the legacy-heavy NBA side has done as they sit comfortably within the top six seeds of the East standings! All credit to Bickerstaff’s ‘leadership’. But JB’s rapid success in Detroit has raised some important questions…
How much is JB Bickerstaff making in a year? What’s the Pistons HC’s net worth?
Although most head coaches do not make as much as the players, Bickerstaff has done a solid job building his empire. As per Clutch Points, his net worth in 2025 is close to $10 million! Of course, most of it comes from his head coaching salary.
Before JB moved to Detroit, he was the Cavaliers’ head coach for four seasons. After realizing his potential, the Cleveland team offered him a multi-year extension in 2021. Sure enough, he provided results right away by leading the team to their first playoff appearance since the LeBron James era! But in 2024, after they got eliminated in the Conference semis, the Cavs parted ways with Bickerstaff.
That’s when he inked his current 5-year deal with the Pistons, with a team option for the final year, to become their new head coach. Although the exact figures remain undisclosed, Bickerstaff reportedly rakes in an estimated salary of around $5 million per year.
Once again, the head coach is proving his worth as he is on the verge of ending the Pistons’ five-year playoff drought in his debut season! And he certainly isn’t your one-man taskmaster. Jalen Duren was clear to the media about his appreciation for JB trying to make the Pistons “a better team” and a ‘tone-setter’. Cade Cunnigham and Ausar Thompson have followed similar routes. But this story isn’t about what Bickerstaff has done on the court! So, let’s drive off and explore where he likes to spend his top dollar salary.
What are JB Bickerstaff’s endorsements and investments?
Unlike most NBA players, Bickerstaff is not very public about where he invests his money. However, his one key source of income apart from his coaching salary is the Crumbl Cookies store he owns in Ohio – 34330 Aurora Rd. in Solon, to be exact. Well, the head coach started the venture with his wife, Nikki, and sister, Cyndi, two years ago while he was still living in Cleveland.

As per reports, the store created 55 job opportunities and JB Bickerstaff also issued a statement upon its launch, “As local business owners, we are looking forward to sharing delicious cookies with our neighbors.” Other than the Crumbl Cookies store, not much is known about his investments and endorsements.
Where does JB Bickerstaff live? What’s his luxury house’s worth?
Since becoming the Pistons’ boss, Bickerstaff has shifted to Detroit. While the details about his personal residence are not public yet, he is likely living in a luxurious mansion because that’s exactly how he lived during his time in Cleveland. After the Cavs dismissed JB last year, reports emerged that he had listed his six-bedroom waterfront Ohio mansion for sale – valued at a whopping $5 million.
Per reports, the mansion was built in 2002 and was right by Lake Erie. Of course, there were all the luxurious amenities possible, including a swimming pool and a jacuzzi. So, JB clearly didn’t shy away from investing a hefty sum in his dream home. And with Bickerstaff dominating as the head coach in Detroit, his net worth is likely to grow even more as his career progresses.
Impressive indeed!
