Ron Washington’s $5 million Net Worth

Having attended the Kansas City Royals Baseball Academy from 1970, Washington was one of only three students who graduated to the major leagues. He subsequently spent the next decade in the minor leagues with the Royals, Mets, and Dodgers, which laid the foundation for his net worth. He briefly played in the major league with the Dodgers in 1977.

In 1981, he returned to the majors, signing with the Minnesota Twins and remaining with the team for six seasons, thereby acquiring significant wealth. His subsequent stints with the Baltimore Orioles in 1987 and the Cleveland Indians in 1988 further bolstered his fortune. Subsequent to a season with the Houston Astros in 1989, he retired from professional baseball.

However, his active involvement in the sport persisted. He was hired by the New York Mets organization as a coach, where he spent the subsequent five years, expanding his net worth. In 1996, Washington became the first base coach for the Oakland Athletics, and the following year, the team’s infield and third-base coach, a role he held until 2006, further contributing to his wealth.

In 2006, he was appointed as the Texas Rangers’ manager, leading the team to the post-season in 2010 – a feat that earned him a contract extension, significantly boosting his net worth. The following year, he led the team to defeat the Detroit Tigers in the ALCS, earning them a second World Series appearance. This led to another contract extension in 2012, further augmenting his net worth, and he went on to manage the American League in the MLB All-Star Game that year.

In 2014, Washington managed a team of MLB All-Stars in the 2014 Major League Baseball Japan All-Star Series in Japan. Later that year, he resigned from his managerial position, leaving behind a record of 664–611 (.521).

Washington subsequently served as an infield coach for the Oakland Athletics and then as their third-base coach a few months later, further contributing to his wealth. As of 2017, he has been the third-base coach for the Atlanta Braves.

In his private life, Washington has been married to Gerry Washington since 1972.

Though not without controversies, in 2009, he made headlines when he tested positive for cocaine, for which he later apologized, citing it as a one-time transgression. His resignation from the Rangers’ manager position in 2014 raised allegations of sexual assault against a reporter. Washington then confessed to an extramarital affair, attributing his resignation to the need for reconciliation with his family.
