The Charlotte Hornets have struggled for years, failing to advance past the first round of the playoffs since 2002.
Now they’ve brought in Charles Lee from the Boston Celtics to help turn things around.
Charles Lee’s Contract and Salary
In May, it was revealed that Charles Lee signed a four-year deal with the Hornets, making him head coach until 2027-28. Known as one of the top assistants in the league, this isn’t his first time being considered for a head coaching role.
While his exact salary is unknown, it’s likely around four million dollars per year based on what other first-time coaches like Adrian Griffin have received.
Charles Lee’s Net Worth
Currently, there are no estimates available online for Lee’s net worth. However, given his long career as an assistant coach since 2014 with teams like the Celtics, Milwaukee Bucks, and Atlanta Hawks—and before that at Bucknell—he’s probably done quite well financially.
Fans think he deserves every penny!
Charles Lee’s Head Coaching Record
Lee has never been a head coach or even an interim coach before. So far, his record stands at 0-0. The Hornets might not be strong next season which could impact his stats early on.
Charles Lee’s Family Life
Charles is married to Lindsey Lee; they met in college where both played basketball at Bucknell. They have three children: Corinne, Vivian, and Josephine.
