how dare the greatest street skateboarder of all time (who i don't care about anymore btw) know his value and try his best to set himself up for a comfortable life in his 50s
I've seen this take a couple times, seems a little weird. Reynolds is a multimillionaire. He's the CEO of Baker Boys Distribution, not to mention being the sole owner of Baker itself, so even if he quit being sponsored altogether he'd continue to rake in cash for the rest of his life. I'm not saying he isn't on New Balance, I have no idea, and if he is it might be for the money, but he definitely doesn't need a new shoe contract to retire comfortably.

Go to https://bizfileonline.sos.ca.gov/search/business and look up Baker Brand, Inc. as well as Baker Boys Distribution, Reynolds is the sole agent listed on both. There's also a link below noting his position as CEO of Baker Boys. I can't speak to the websites stating his net worth, but Baker itself is inarguably one of the most popular brands going right now, and has been for a very long time, so it stands to reason he's making good money.

gonna take a leap here and say that templeton and muska are not worth 10 million dollars
It’s very easy to imagine both of those dudes being worth that much.
lmao
Templeton has owned a board company for two decades, multiple shoes, and is a very well established multi medium artist with international gallery showings.
Muska has had some of the best selling shoes of all time pre athletic footwear entering the game and just flipped his Hollywood home to move to Ohio.
If these dudes didn’t totally fuck up, and they clearly didn’t, it would not be hard to be a multi millionaire, Mr. Provolone.
I don't know why people have a hard time believing this. Those celebrity net worth sites are usually bunk, but that doesn't mean that someone like Ed Templeton hasn't amassed a small fortune in his multiple decades owning a brand during what was almost certainly the most profitable era of skateboarding. Remember that Ed would stick the Toy Machine logo on basically anything - I still have a Toy Machine keychain that I bought at Target in like 2001. Merchandising little tchotchkes when your brand is hot is how people get really rich, not to mention his career in art, numerous shoes, etc.
There's absolutely no doubt in my mind that Reynolds is worth several million dollars, though I have no idea how much liquid cash he has on hand, since so much of it is probably tied up in his various companies. The liquidity issue might be why he is interested in having his own "Half-Cab" type of shoe, where the checks from a multi-billion dollar corporation just roll in every month.
Andrew is not only one of the best street skateboarder of his generation- he grow also into an
successful business guy. Keep in mind where he is coming from. All brand deals emerica and own brands baker Altamont etc. etc aside - he was
one of the main character in the original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater video game 1999 - this was his first million. After that Pro Skater 2, Pro Skater 3, Pro Skater 4, Underground, American Wasteland, Proving Ground, Pro Skater HD, Pro Skater 5, and Pro Skater 1 + 2. and also EA's Skate 3 was following.
He left Emerica (part owner ship) for a more interesting deal (Vans/ VF coop) - if the contract is not extended, and was not as successful as expected (for what ever reason)
he will look for something new.
Wish him all the best for a good deal. Really woud like to have a halfcab like mid cupsole pro shoe from him on vans. But coud life with a NB one too.
