Hw much does Bam Margera make in a year?

Answer 1

To begin to estimate what Bam makes in a year you have to do some back tracking. First, Bam is a professional athlete (Skater) so he draws a salary from his sponsor, element in this case, and he earns money from what ever other endorsements follow due to his popularity ie. Jones Soda and Electric Sunglasses, from this he probably makes over 1 million per year before taxes. (the other estimates of 2 million are too high) Element is not the juggernaut is used to be in the late 90's as of 2010 the company is only reporting a 1.4m Profit... so do the math. My guess is he makes more off of other endorsement deals. ~ 1 million

On to the Jackass Franchise. The good news, its highly successful. The bad news, MTV owns the rights to it. Since 2002 the 3 Jackass movies have net over 300 million. Depending on what is negotiated im sure Dickhouse (the jackass guys production company) gets a percentage and MTV gets the remainder, my guess its a 50/50 split. So divide 150 million between 12 people and subtract capital gains tax and you have your payday figure for the Jackass Movies. (I've heard on several occasions that the 3 seasons of the series payed almost nothing) ~ 20 million

CKY Movies (who knows but definatley good for a few mill)

Viva La Bam, a series like this that is highly popular and product driven can net over 250k per episode plus the cost of the budget so the 250k is profit. So he probably got 2 million per season because it was 8 episodes and 3 seasons. So a 6 mill net for that project ... not bad for 7.2 hours of film.

He owns a bar (the note) --who knows... probably pays for itself and maby makes him a few bucks. (we'll call this a real estate asset rather than a business asset.)

He owns a record label which makes some money but not sure what. I haven't heard much about this sector lately... He did have some minor success with " Vaines of jenna " but this venture seems to have dwindled away. He has given up the registration on filthynote.com so.. it seems that if the business is not worth a 12$ dollar domain reg. fee it must be off his radar for the moment. ~ 0$

I'm sure there's tons of things im missing, but just to get an estimate here. Bam is probably worth upward of 30 million and probably generates 3 to 5 million a year on royalties, assorted business ventures and just for being Bam, an internationally recognized, good looking bad boy.

Real-estate: 2m

Assets: 5m

Net worth: $37m. (assuming he has about 30 mill. liquid)

Salary: $3+ Million / annual (and growing)

This puts Bam in the top 0.9 percentile of high income earners, a class called " the super-rich ". Fact: The average per capita income in his home state (Pennsylvania) is $20,880 so hes doing well.
