Updated September 28, 2026. This article was revised to remove an unsupported net worth estimate and income breakdown, and to correct Poggi’s coaching timeline.
How much is Biff Poggi worth? There is no reliable public figure for his personal net worth. Poggi has worked in finance and coached football for decades, but those facts alone cannot establish the value of his investments, debts, other assets or current income. Estimates presented as an exact dollar amount should be treated with caution unless they show a credible basis.
His story is still unusual: he built a career in investment management, then put considerable time and personal resources into high school and college football. Here is what the public record actually supports.
Who is Biff Poggi?
Francis “Biff” Poggi is a football coach whose career has included The Gilman School and Saint Frances Academy in Baltimore, the University of Michigan, and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. According to Michigan Athletics’ biography of Poggi, he graduated from Gilman in 1979, played college football at Pittsburgh and graduated from Duke in 1984.
At Gilman, he spent 19 seasons on the staff, including 11 as head coach. Michigan credits the school with 13 Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association A Conference titles during his time there. After a 2016 analyst stint at Michigan, Poggi founded the football program at Saint Frances Academy. Michigan says he personally funded 65 scholarships there.
Where did his wealth come from?
Michigan Athletics describes Poggi as having found success as a hedge fund manager earlier in his life. That background helps explain how he could support a football program with his own money. It does not tell us his personal fortune today, the value of a firm he owned, or what he earned in any particular year.
Net worth is assets minus liabilities at a point in time. A coaching salary, an investment firm’s revenue and a person’s net worth are different measures. Even a published contract would show only some compensation terms; it would not reveal a complete personal balance sheet. We could not substantiate a precise figure from the public sources used for this update, so we are not assigning one.
Poggi’s coaching timeline
Poggi served as a Michigan analyst in 2016 and as associate head coach in the 2021 and 2022 seasons. He was appointed Charlotte’s head coach in November 2022 and led the 49ers during the 2023 and 2024 seasons. His tenure there ended November 18, 2024, according to Michigan’s profile.
He returned to Michigan as associate head coach in spring 2025. The university says he led the Wolverines on an interim basis for two games during the regular season and served as interim head coach for the 2025 Citrus Bowl. These are dated roles; the Charlotte job should not be described as his current position.
What can we say about his net worth in 2026?
Quick answer (September 2026): EssentiallySports estimated about $10 million in 2025 while acknowledging that the exact number was not public. That is an attributed media estimate, not a verified 2026 fortune. Reported coaching pay and personal support for a school may show financial activity, but do not disclose his investments, ownership interests or liabilities.
His investment career and his support of Saint Frances point to substantial financial resources at different times in his life. They do not prove a particular 2026 net worth. Figures such as “$10 million” and itemized annual earnings that appeared in an earlier version of this article had no verifiable sourcing and have been removed.
If credible financial disclosures or direct reporting become available, this page can be updated with the source, date and limits of any estimate. Until then, the honest answer is that Poggi’s exact net worth is not publicly verified.

Editorial correction (September 28, 2026): We removed the prior article’s unsupported $10 million estimate and annual income table, and corrected the description of his Charlotte and Michigan coaching roles. The article retains its original URL so existing links continue to work.
