Willie Mullins Net Worth – How Much Is The Closutton Trainer Worth?

Check out the Willie Mullins Net Worth and everything you need to know about one of horse racing’s most well known trainers. Read on to find out more about the 17-time Champion Trainer. 

Willie Mullins One Of Most Decorated Handlers

Mullins started training his own horses in 1988 after previously working as an assistant to his father Paddy Mullins and Jim Bolger, but his involvement with the sport goes back way further than that.

He is a former six-time Amateur Champion Jockey in Ireland with some of his notable victories being the Fox Hunters’ Chase at Aintree (1983) and Champion Bumper at Cheltenham (1996).

As a trainer, Mullins has won just about all there is to win in Ireland and has also enjoyed plenty of success over in England and France. He’s won the Grand National, the Cheltenham Gold Cup, the King George Chase, the Champion Hurdle in three countries and plenty more.

Mullins is also the most successful trainer in the history of the Cheltenham Festival, with 94 winners and you can find all of his winners at the iconic meeting further down the page.

Despite the years upon years of success in the game, 2022/2023 was a record breaking season for Mullins, and he trained 237 winners from 831 runners in total. Galopin Des Champs was one of his stars of last season, winning the Gold Cup on the final day of the Cheltenham Festival (see below).

With plenty of his horses in training with the 67-year-old owned by JP McManus, winners are never too far away for the Closutton man.

Willie Mullins Net Worth

Whilst the Willie Mullins net worth isn’t officially known, he is by far the richest horse racing trainer in all of Ireland having accumulated £33.1million in prize money over the last five years. That figure totals his wins on the flat and over jumps in both Britain and Ireland.

However, here at SportsLens we have an estimate for the Mullins Net Worth, and it is believed to be in the region of £10million.

It’s estimated to be a lot more than fellow National Hunt trainers Nicky Henderson and Paul Nicholls, whose net worths can be found by clicking on their name.

Who Is Willie Mullins’ Son?

Willie has just one son, Patrick Mullins. Patrick is an amateur jockey, who rides a lot of his fathers horses and he is also an assistant trainer to Willie, so the pair work very closely together.

Some people often get confused with Danny Mullins and Patrick, but the former is Willie’s nephew and the latter’s cousin. Danny also rides for his uncle.
