Heath was pro 15+ years, had good sponsors, often live very cheap or free. In articles about the Emerica mansion they mentioned he also owned vending machines, didn't party, had a bunch of odd jobs, and lived off frozen pizza. I don't think they paid rent so he's likely able to save a substantial portion of his money. If he saved 80% of 40k/year that's $480K without any interest included. If he invested half of that in various low risk options it's completely plausible he retired with millions as in "$2M".
What about VOV?
Skateboarding is a jokeAnd if you think otherwiseyou're fucked in the headIt's not that serious - Go fast, catch a frontside And remember why you love it
Mu$ka should definitely be a made man off his contributions to skating alone, but has he not started a company or two??
That Nyjah dude must have hella racks rails, I'm sure.
At 2:09 the shermanator talks about going from rich to broke. I rewatched this thinking it would give me a laugh, but it more just pissed me off how out of touch and entitled some people are. Then I watched the J Cassanova rap video and got my laugh though
You know who else probably is? Chad Muska. Oh duh and Elissa Steamer. She used her THPS money to buy some apartment buildings and she lives on that. I think she does projects for extra income but she’s doesn’t have to.

Is she not involved in Doom Sayers or Gnar Hunters or something like that though? The THPS deal was a huge break for so many Pro's at that time. I guess the real question is... Has anyone ever successfully retired from just skateboarding without either starting their own company, working outside of skating or by seling the rights to their name to a corporation a la THPS / Janoski / Cab? Has anyone or will anyone ever have just have 'skateboarder' as their only job in life? Might be a very small list.
