Despite their age gap, both have become major stars in the world of snowboarding. This gives rise to an inevitable question: who is the richer among the two? Both have attributes that make them very attractive to brands. But, who has the greater net worth?
Shaun White net worth
As of now, White’s net worth is estimated to be approximately $60 million. Out of this, his annual earnings come from his sporting activities. But, like most successful sportspersons, he makes a lot more through brand endorsements. Known as ‘The Flying Tomato’, Shaun has had lucrative endorsement deals with companies like Red Bull and Hewlett-Packard.
Recently, the man with 10 ESPY awards has had sponsorship deals with a long list of companies. These include T-Mobile, Verizon, Mountain Dew, Ubisoft, Sony, and many others. With all these contracts, his net worth has remained high. As of now, there are no signs of that changing in the near future.

This is way below White’s market value. But that is not surprising. She is still young and has many more achievements to gain in her career. Also, White has the advantage of being a musician and a skateboarder as well. This gives him a rockstar image that, possibly, Kim is yet to garner. But she has time on her side. The way things are going, she will certainly keep climbing greater heights of success.
