So im probly wrong but from my understanding these top pros probly have about this much money in the bank.

Jon olsson 5-10 million
candide thovex 3-4 million
tanner hall 2-3 million
simon dumont 1-2 million
tj schiller 1 million
pollard  1 million?
charles gagnier 500,000
corey vanular 500,000
hatveit, PK, wester 300,000-500,000
olenick, 200,000

hmmmmm... we aren't really in a position to speculate on what pro skiers make, and it's really hard to judge since sponsors hook up the top level pros with pretty much all the necessaties(clothing, housing, transport).

guesstimation means you had some info and you added your own speculation to it, what other info do you have?

As for claiming this is their "money in the bank" you'd be waaaay off. Some of the numbers might be close if you are including assets. I mean, Tanner probably has nowhere near 2-3Mill in the bank, but might have something around there when houses, cars, and his companies are included.

Anyone on redbull makes like half million a year or something correct? Simon obviously makes a tit load from target and jon obviously is fucking loaded. Monster/rockstar atheletes prob get 300k ish id bet. But i could be completely wrong.

You have probably given one too many zeros to most of those athletes..for most, it's a struggle.

Man I seriously doubt anyone is even remotely close to being that liquid... as a matter of fact it would be stupid if any of them kept all their money in cash in a bank account!

As most of us aren't bankers and lawyers and actually knew anything about investment and budgeting more like me...all i have in the bank is actually in my pocket as spare change...I would have to agree with you.

I think this thread is actually interesting..but it should have been what's their net worth like?? Not what they got in the bank?? Man bankers don't have savings accounts with millions of dollars in it. Most banks will only guarantee up to 100,000 on your account, that's it.

I think that Tanner might be the richest of them all...besides his obvious sponsors which are quite similar to Simons or comparable (Side Note: Simon had on his MySpace that his earnings were 500,000+...and that was before his company)..so if his sponsors are comparable to Simons then let's say lowballing it..he get's half a mill from sponsorships.

His Sponsors:

Oakley, Dalbello Boots, Grenade Gloves, Giro, Redbull, Park City Resort

At least a hundred grand for each sponsor...if not more...plus

He also produces and stars in films..he's produced 2 so far and has appeared in 13 other films..
He is a co-founder of Armada Ski Company ..
He is part owner with a handful of other investors of Rettalack Ski Resort...i'm sure that his share isn't as large as the other investors but his name as well as Seth's, landed major investors to their bid to buy Rettalack...

I believe his net worth is more like 7-10 million...
