The 11 Richest Pro Skaters in the World

Hey BoardWorlders

I came across this on facebook and found it pretty interesting.
If I had to guess who would be on this list, a lot of my guesses would be wrong!
Also there were some people who I wouldn’t have expected to be on there, and some that I thought would be higher or lower on the list. It just goes to show that money doesn’t reflect your worth in skateboarding.

Yeah, interesting list for sure.

I would have thought Shecks would be higher.

Nyjah, P-Rod, Chris Cole etc. don’t even rank?

Steve Caballero?

Shaun White is only worth $20 mill?

Interesting…

Yeah! That was exactly what I thought about all those skaters! Especially Nyjah!

And how the hell is Shaun White only worth 20 Mil?
I know Olympians aren’t technically allowed to be “Pro” as in paid a wage like Russ Henshaw. But I thought they would get around that.
It makes me wonder if there are any snowboarders who make more money than Shaun White… probably MFM. He’s a boss in every sense.

There isnt as much money in skateboarding as you may think. as you can see most the ones in that list are company owners

Not that a suprising list really if you ask me, thought the tomato would have been worth my, Ricks net worth did suprise me though. I like him, he’s funny and rich, unlike bam whos just a ........................ (insert your own insult)

I’m glad they are worth so much. Especially Koston, Howard, Alva and Mullen. I don’t know what skateboarding would be like with out these guys staying in the game.

Interesting list, but I think it’s (mostly) a load of baloney.

Not sure how Rick Howard is so far up there and Mike Carroll misses out completely? Wasn’t Nyjah’s house alone worth $8 million or something?

I’d say these guys would all a top 20 list, just not sure about the numbers…but it’s an interesting list anyway.

Does this factor in royalties? Surely Stefan is in here…I know for a fact he has to be worth more than $10 million. He designed and has his name attached to Nike’s fifth best selling shoe series across all disciplines for the last 2/3 years or something…

Yeah not sure how Carroll is with his share of the company. Nyjah for sure he has been doing a heap of house hold brands to get some more money. Nike contracts might be very tight with low % of sales, but you would think he would be nice and set now.
