ya i was gonna say that, i get the sense that his family has money to begin with. if you think about it a lot of pros or ams must come from money, a lot of them come out of private schools and have houses in colorado,etc. and can afford to travel and ski even before they are really sponsored. I mean it is an expensive sport that attracts a certain demographic of people

he DEFINITELY isn't from a rich family. when he was younger his mom made his ski clothes because they didn't have the money to buy them. they were usually pretty crazy designs and all the kids used to think it was awesome and ask where he bought them. i remember reading that in an issue of freeskier or maybe even freeze. can't remember though....

Just to end it, Jon makes a shit load more than 200K a year. If you look at real estate in Monaco, the first thing you are going to have to do is set up a bank account with the Bank of Monaco, which I believe requires a minimum of a 500,000 deposit. Plus since he lives there to avoid taxes, I believe that means he owns a house, apartment or studio. If you look for real estate on the internet, 1 bedroom studios START at 1,250,000 euros. Maybe he rents one but then I doubt that he'd be able to avoid taxes. The cheapest rental I could find for a studio in Monaco was 1,200 euros. but most average around 2-4 thousand, with the highest (for a studio) being 27,000. He has a wonder lifestyle, but works his ass of too.
