What is Shaun White's net worth?

Since Shaun has distinctive red hair that helps him stand out in a crowd, he’s been given the nickname “The Flying Tomato" among his competitors in the Olympics. Per Celebrity Net Worth, he’s one of the highest-paid Olympians ever, and certainly one of the most successful. Over the course of his Olympic career, Shaun’s taken home three gold medals, 15 X Games gold medals, and 11 ESPY Awards.

Some of those medals came from his snowboarding talents while a couple of them came from his time skateboarding. Back in 2009, Shaun signed a multimillion dollar endorsement deal with Burton Snowboards for 10 years. Another huge brand he’s been associated with is Red Bull. Some of Shaun‘s other major endorsements include Ubisoft, Hewlett-Packard, Target, and Oakley.

The outlet reports his net worth at $60 million.

What about Shaun White’s music career?

Along with being known as a talented athlete, Shaun‘s career in entertainment is also pretty noteworthy. He formed a band called Bad Things with a few other members named Davis LeDuke, Anthony Sanudo, Jared Palomar, and Lena Zawaideh. The band came together in 2012 and released their self-titled debut album in 2014, after striking up a record deal with Warner Bros. Records in 2013.

Unfortunately, things didn’t end well for the band, with Lena filing a lawsuit for sexual harassment and breach of contract against Shaun a few years later in 2016. A year later in 2017, the lawsuit was settled for an undisclosed sum of money.

This isn’t the only time Shaun‘s gotten into a bit of legal trouble either. In 2012, he was arrested in Tennessee for public intoxication and vandalism. The charges were later dropped though.
