Vin Scully net worth and salary: Vin Scully is an American sportscaster who has a net worth of $25 million. Scully is best-known for being the longtime sportscaster for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Vin was the sportscaster for the Dodgers for an unprecedented 67 seasons, starting in Brooklyn in 1960, ending in Los Angels in 2016.
Salary and Contracts: Vin signed his first contract with the Brooklyn Dodgers on December 23, 1949. The contract paid $100 per week during baseball’s roughly 30-week season. That came to $3,000 per season, which is the same as around $32,000 per year after after adjusting for inflation. In the decades between 1990 and 2008, Vin earned between $1 and $1.5 million per year. From 2008 onward, Vin Scully’s salary was $3 million per year. At various points in his life he also had separate contracts with networks such as NBC and Fox.
Born in The Bronx, New York, Vin Scully attended Fordham University, where he began working as a broadcaster for college games. His college years were busy, as he co-founded a radio station, served as a broadcaster for multiple sports, sang with a quartet, edited his class yearbook, and played on the baseball team. He received only one job offer after college, but that led to a job broadcasting college football games for CBS Radio. He became part of the Brooklyn Dodgers coverage team in 1950, and remained with the Dodgers even after they moved to California. His play-by-play announcements were so popular, that fans would bring radios to the stadium to listen to his commentary, while watching the game live. He also continued to call football games, and occasionally tennis and golf, for CBS. In the early 80s, he shifted to covering baseball for NBC. He covered baseball for that network until the late 80s, when they cut their baseball coverage. Vin would go on to call baseball games for the Dodgers, including several World Series Games, for more than six decades. He retired at the end of the 2016 season.
Real Estate: In 2001 Vin paid $1.587 million for an 11,600 square-foot home in Hidden Hills, California. His gorgeous 2-acre property is located in an exclusive gated community called Ashley Ridge. It is considered Hidden Hills’ most-coveted neighborhood. To understand the value of Vince’s home consider that Paul George bought the home right next door for $7.4 million in 2016. George listed his home for sale in 2020 for $9.5 million. George’s property is 1.3-acres, whereas Scully’s is 2-acres.
