What is Bob Burnquist's Net Worth?
Bob Burnquist is an American skateboarder who has a net worth of $8 million. Born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Bob Burnquist, also known as Robert Dean Silva Burnquist, began skateboarding while living in Sao Paolo. He relocated to the United States after high school, and is widely recognized as one of the best skateboarders ever. In addition to winning nine Gold Medals, six Silver Medals, and six Bronze Medals at various X-Games since 1998, he has also received the second highest score in the history of the Games, and has invented numerous tricks of his own.
He is the first skateboarder to ever land a fakie to fakie 900, the only skater who has ever gone over a loop ramp with a gap in it, and the only skater who has ever gone around a full pipe, simply by building enough momentum while in the pipe. He has been featured in a number of skateboarding video games, and has a skate park in his backyard that has become legendary with other professional skateboarders. When not skating, he runs Burnquist Organics, the Bob Burnquist Foundation, and Action Sports Environmental Coalition.
