Do you understand the concept of depreciating assets?

No need for the JS fans to get all butt hurt at me. I said I hope he DID stash some away. I'm not wishing him any misfortune. In fact, I think he should enjoy his earnings. My point was that there is an overwhelming number of star athletes who go broke because of lavish spending once their career is over. Hopefully he is not one of them.
Cash is also a depreciating asset. (inflation)

I've heard James hasn't just put his eggs in one basket has plenty of other investments that bring him more cash flow currently than his racing.
Yep, he put it all into owning a small piece of Vital MX...

You all have seen plenty of mtv cribs... You know most of the houses and cars on that show were just rentals right?

I was out on my street bike the other day and rolled up behind a chick driving a grey Ferrari California. The license plate said SE7EN. I live a half mile from Ferrari of Central Florida. That car has been there for a few days now though.

You can judge someone financial responsibility without taking a look at their financial statements. It doesn't look like James saves a ton of money. I've heard he had a ton of people on staff to maintain his facility and between the private jets it doesn't seem that way but until you know net worth you can't talk sh#t on him.

Did you guys even watch Bubbas World? Im pretty sure James is smart with his money and if not his mother is. Looking from the outside it seems they have their shit together.

I'm sure James and crew have their shit together, unless somebody is stealing from them (like and agent or adviser).


We can all only hope that he rides a few more years, then takes a job in the booth.

Playing the 'black card' here a little....but having a dominate black racer is one thing....but having a well spoken and likable black announcer that used to be one of the fastest racers will definitely generate a whole new level for our sport. Like James has said "we are all the same color with our helmets on"...

Yep, people assume that when he retires he won't have value in the industry. James will be making money off of MX/SX for many years after his racing career is over.

Perhaps we can have James and Chad share the booth for SX broadcasts?

guys, you're not using your noggins very good. You know how this industry works..its all about potential and race/moto wins. With James able to win at any given moment noone cares about his consistency or his falls. If James wanted or needed to i am sure he could get six figure rides for years to come. How long did Windham go?, how many times has Grant still received offers, Tedesco, Davalos, the list could go on and on. In fact there was some article on RacerX lately talking again about the industry only caring about potential for epic rides. One win in SX could allow your sponsor to have months and months of ads based on just one race.

James still has some years to control his bank account as he sees fit. Offers will come. Its like Matthes and the crew are arguing against themselves. I have heard them all say before that with potential for a win (Grant, Reed, Millsaps etc..) that teams will be calling looking to spend some $$ on these guys. Then on a podcast they say James may be out of a job. Laughable i tell ya.

Hey James,

I am sure you are reading this. All I want to know is how much of a laugh do you get off of it?

Too bad we will never know. If I had this guy's talent and had this many people caring about how I am spending my bread I would love to sit back and read the drama all day.

It all depends on your age and what year you're going to retire with inflation and such, but....

An average upper middle class dude that is ~30 years old now only makes like 5 million bucks in a lifetime before taxes between entering and exiting the workforce. 2.5 million in the bank at 30 years old in 2014 is enough to be ok for life. These top guys clear that kind of money pretty easy. Everything on top of that is a bonus. Simple investments and a plan for a modest lifestyle after 65 and it's not hard to be set at all.

I honestly think it would drive me nuts. I would probably shut myself off from all this stuff. I feel like if you pay attention to this stuff you'd go crazy. Hell, most celebs do....

I think it's dumb he even posted that picture. It's unprofessional on so many levels.

Does everyone forget that these guys are public figures getting paid to represent worldwide brands?

He's a professional athlete, I don't see what's wrong with a photo relating to his physical condition. He's not doing lines off a hooker. Why do the Stewarts offend you so much?

It's a good question, nearly every one of his posts are slamming the Stewarts. It's pretty clear it's to make him feel better about himself. There are much more productive ways to go about it.
