Rijkaard Salary & Net Worth
How much did Frank Rijkaard earn?Frank Rijkaard has a net worth of...
50 Million Euros (58.9 Million Dollars)
Mr. Llama was a strong and powerful defensive midfielder who could also play in the backline as a center back. He was a part of the infamous Dutch team that was full of stars but didn't win much on the international stage. Although he didn't make much from endorsements or from wages as a player, he did have a successful managerial career.
Coaching FC Barcelona has to be at the top of the list. He earned a sumptuous amount from being the man at the helm. We think he's worth about 50 Million Euros, net.
Current Job
What does Rijkaard currently do?He's got the approval from The Special One himself. The Llama sports a proud look on his face as he's given a pat on the back from Jose. His managerial career was a moderate success. (Image: imgur.com)
The Dutchman hasn't been in the dugout since 2013. He's probably eyeing an opportunity and will stage a comeback soon. (Image: imgur.com)
Iconic Moments
Whatcha Lookin' At?
Hey, it's no big deal. I'm a smoker. What has it got to do with you? I like it, and no one can make me stop it. The ciggy is my friend. You got a problem with it, you've got a problem with me. (Image: imgur.com)
Johan Can't Believe It
We get it that you like to pretend you're a steam engine boss. But smoking when the legend was around? That's just unrefined. Johan probably didn't enjoy all that passive smoke you made him inhale. You can only keep going at it as long as you don't bother anyone else, mister. (Image: imgur.com)
Thanks Gaffer
He gave Lionel Messi his debut. We thank him for that. As a manager, he saw his potential from close quarters and jumped the gun. After all, it was only a matter of time before someone was going to do it. The big disappointment was that he didn't do much with the squad that he had. (Image: imgur.com)
Eternally Grateful
Was it due to Ronaldinho's wayward behavior or the fact that Xavi and Iniesta hadn't peaked just yet? We don't know why he couldn't extract much from the little genius or his team, but the Argentine is forever thankful to his Dutch boss for giving him the nod. (Image: imgur.com)
I'm a Llama
The nickname came after the incident. He spat at Rudi Völler in the 1990 World Cup, started a fight, and had both himself and Rudi sent off. The two men were equally culpable, but like we've said a thousand times here- Spitting is NOT cool. He could have ignored Rudi's simulation, even punched him or something, but he chose the third option. He did it not once, but two times as well, and got branded the Llama by the German press. He has since apologized to the German, but the incident will stay in our hearts forever. So will his nickname. (Image: imgur.com)

Rijkaard Ex-Wife - Carmen Sandries
Sadly, his marriage to Carmen didn't work out, but that doesn't change the fact that she's family. (Image: imgur.com)
Rijkaard Car - What does he drive?
Audi
He doesn't seem too eager about his car. You could have chosen any car you wanted, boss. Why the long face? (Image: imgur.com)
House - Where does he live?
Location: Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Llamas live in barns. That's why he has rented this beautiful apartment in Amsterdam and moved to a field on the outskirts of the city. (Image: imgur.com)
