I can't believe this thread
I wasn't going to comment on this thread, as I feel it's embarrassing on it's premise, but as things are inaccurately stated here, I figured I'd put the facts out here. ( Remember those? )
NEVER said that I was collecting for a Go Fund Me Page, and even told him that, but yet he is repeating here that I was. I stated "I am giving 5 times whatever my winners pay over a 3 day span to the PDJF in the MEMORY of Jose Flores --- feel free to match in whole or part." Never did I ever say "Give to Go Fund Me", I donated $497 on my own & followers kicked in an extra $700 for DISABLED RIDERS. You're gonna compare him to Johnny V.? Really ?? And you want to know what a rider REALLY makes before you throw out these numbers ?
He made $64,136,174 over 32 years. That's $2,004,255 of which he gets an estimated 10%.
That gives him $200,425 per year of which the agent gets 25%, leaving him $150, 310.
His valet gets 10% ( off the top # ) which leaves him $130,268, He's likely in the 30% tax bracket, leaving him $91,188.
Now he has to pay for insurance ( not like you or I, but a HIGH liability insurance ( and family ) of likely about $3,000 a month.
That leaves him $55,188. Now he has to pay for whips, boots, helmet covers, pants, winter gear, goggles, and the occasional saddle & helmet.
Toss in gas & tolls for driving all over the mid atlantic circuit and go at the very conservative $500 a month.
That means he CLEARED an average of $49,188 a year.
Give me a break already.
Let the rider rest in peace, and let this thread rest in peace.
