Rob Dyrdek Net Worth – $50 Million
Rob Dyrdek is a professional skateboarder and a reality television star with a net worth of approximately $50 million. He spends the vast majority of his time earning money on the ramp and making a life for himself that is quite impressive. He became famous when he began starring in reality television with MTV, and he’s made a lot of money doing it. He began his reality television job starring on the hit show “Rob & Big,” and then he began filming “Rob Dyrdeck’s Fantasy Factory,” which were both big hits. Because of these shows, he was able to create a life for himself that consists of financial freedom and a number of doors that opened for his career to become even more impressive than it already is.
This Ohio-born native entered the world in 1974 and he left home when he was only 16-years-old so that he could become a pro skateboarder, and things worked out for him. Because he has been able to break more than 20 Guinness Book of World Record records, he’s also become even more famous than he thought he could become. These victories and his talent have led him to become one of the most famous and the most successful skateboarders in recent history, and that has boded quite well for his successes. When he was starring in his first reality television series, he was making a very impressive $60,000 per episode. Since he filmed more than 30 episodes of this show, he made a significant income from it.
Dyrdek became interested in skateboarding when he was 11, and it did not take him long to become very good at it. By the time he was 12, he’d been sponsored by Alien Workshop, the same company that sponsored Neil Blender, the man who gave Dyrdek his first skateboard. This is when he began making money. Sponsorships play a huge role in the income of professional athletes, and Dyrdek has plenty of them. He’s also sponsored by DC Shoes, Silver Trucks and even Monster Energy.
Dyrdek is also the creator of a company called Street League Skateboarding (SLS) which he has also made quite successful. Since becoming a famous athlete, he’s also had many other roles. He’s featured in two video games for which he receives royalties. He’s been featured alongside Johnny Knoxville in Jackass 3.5 and he has filmed a movie back in 2009. He’s most well-known for his skateboarding and for his reality shows, though, and those are where he makes the most money. It’s his sponsorships from skating that earn him millions each year, as well as his penchant for living life in a way that’s not quite excessive. In fact, he’s been known to live well below his means for most of his life, which is why he’s been able to accumulate such a massive net worth. He focuses on his career more than anything else, and that’s helped him tremendously as he’s been able to amass a net worth more than most people make over the course of their entire lives.
