I just enjoy the salary and bonus talk as it creates another topic to discuss and I seen some from AC the other day that he’s going to try his best to break the secret side of it all and be more info on it.
Deegan this year?
500k out door title
3 supercross wins 150k
5 outdoor wins 250k
That’s 850k there plus I believe his star salary would 100% be way more then any other 250 base I’m guessing around 600k. So total guess at 600k add that to 850k that’s 1,450,000. If he wins smx that’s another 500k plus his other sponsor deals and bonus kids probably somewhere between 2/3 million. Thats extremely impressive in this sport for a second year 18 year old pro
You forgot the social media stuff. He’s pretty huge in that space. I’m sure there’s good money there too.
bout three fiddy
If i had to guess his all-in 2024 earnings, id go 5-6m all things considered
Enough to keep laughing at his haters
The Shop

DeCal Works Huge Plastic Inventory of UFO and Polisport kits.
It’s complicated…….
First How long is his rookie contract? 2 or 3 years?
Who negotiated his contract and gets a cut of the $$$$ ?
As a rookie coming in the salary level is probably low but podium, win and championship bonus would be higher as a motivator.
When he reaches the end of his rookie contract offers from other brands will be high.
With winning lots of races 2 is possible but 3 would be difficult.
Are gear bonuses his or the teams? My guess is the teams.
He also gets paid through Snapchat, and I’m sure instagram. I bet he gets a good chunk of his YouTube revenue and merch sales. I bet he makes 150-300k outside of SMX.
Instagram doesn't pay anything, if hes doing an ad for a company on a post that's one thing but Instagram doesn't pay.
Id bet they make roughly 150k-500k a year on youtube it varies a ton with how long people watch etc, but the biggest thing is it gives them an avenue to their sponsors like can am and such who probably pay per video if they are the main topic. Also a avenue to push merch as well.
Instagram has a reels bonus program. That pays creators whose reels garnish over 1000 views in 30 days. A sponsored ad or branded content does not qualify for it. That’s why you see so many reels these days vs normal posts.
They stopped that program last year
Locky, I bet you are right that he makes a lot more than other 250F guys for salary, but I still think it's far less than $600K. Even for Star, I'd bet the average salary pay is significantly less than $100K for most or all the riders. Deegan probably makes more, but it's likely that his pay will mostly come from win bonuses and championships, like Lumpy said.
I'd say he's doing alright.
They can absolutely make some real money from there. David Dobrik made $103k in a week from posting a couple of videos on Snapchat. In an unrelated podcast I was listening to, they were talking about revenue made from social media and they stated he makes between $10k - $30k a post to Snapchat. It's insane how people can make 6 figures a week on that platform.
As for YouTube, I don't see how they make that much from there, it takes millions of views just to make a few grand just from views alone; but when you add in sponsors and links to their own merch store, they could end up in the 6-7 figure range. Jett makes 7 figures a year just from his merch line. Haiden will probably make $1-2 million this year all in from potentially 2 championships and championship bonuses from everybody, their merch store and YouTube. But when you talk about the merch store and YouTube you have to assume that all of the money isn't going to him, it's spread across the family.
He gets paid from every social platform he’s on, and i have no doubt that he’s already making money from his own channel right now too. Also, he has one or two rental properties. Kids making good money for a second year pro.
Yeah I mean Youtube ad revenue has a ton of variables, the amount of subscribers they have vs how many views each video gets 150k-400k is really good, but the watch through rate has a huge influence on what they make which we will never know exactly what that is.
Paying atleast one or two full time filmers and editors takes from that as well.
A car youtubeR I watch, The Stradman, averages 900k views per vid. He said on a podcast all in he makes over $2 Million a year from just Youtube, including brand deals and sponsored vids, etc.
He is one of the first people I've heard be transparent about what he makes from YT. Is it accurate? Only he knows but if we set that as a baseline..
I'd say they make between $750k-$1 million/yr on the high end? But is that split between the family? So maybe he makes $100k-$200k from YT?

Based on how much he posts on Snap, I'd say he is making good money from that.
Around $5mil.
Well as there’s starting to talk about it more Levi kitchen fully admitted that he left a good chunk of money off the table going to pc both Salary and gear deal wise cause he wanted the bike. And the pc deal was about 350k. So yes I believe highest for most is 350k the goes to 250k, 150k, 100 and into that average like your mentioning but 100% not as low as your thinking for all. So I’m thinking I’m about right but yes everyone has a different opinion. And no way in hell Brian would ever go in that low on a base salary for him could never see that happening when the were negotiating his deals

^Hmmm. Things sure have changed at PC, then. Mitch used to pay his guys $35K. 🤑Of course, that was a long time ago.
Even so, I'm surprised to hear 6 figures with any kind of regularity. I guess the special cases get a lot more.
A picture of Forkner's PC contract went public years ago and I don't remember the exact numbers or structure but the base was at least $300k. I saved it to the computer I was using at the time because I knew it would disappear, but I'm too lazy to go find it.
Yes, the YouTube channel is how mom and dad pay the bills so that’s definitely getting split
Brian said on Gypsy tales that Haiden purchased some beach property FL as a rental. Also, haidens YT channel just dropped a video of him buying a super car. I’d say he’s doing ok.
The Deegans signed with Yamaha in 2021…it didn’t seem like the typical process that a fast 15 y/o goes thru when 2 teams are competing for a rider. It seemed to be a bit more than that….
Also, the people representing Haiden have been part of Team Deegan for a long time and know how to maximize value. And the Deegans had and continue an ongoing relationship with Monster…
If I were to make an educated guess: now that he’s been there for 3 years and is on a multi-year deal that surely has performance clauses…some of which it’s safe to assume have higher pay-outs than most riders would receive…that’s if you remember all the hype around this deal when it went down in 2021…I think it’s safe to say he is likely making more than the typical “250 contract”.
This year’s race wins & title combined with the probable SMX title should provide for a solid pay out…but, let’s not forget…the real money comes from an SX title…especially when evaluating his future.
They did end it for a while but it’s back, it just doesn’t pay as well as it used to. I made 70 cents today. 😂😂😂
As for Deegan, he definitely does well off social media and merch. With lots of the full time YouTubers I know they get more money from merch than views/sponsorships… and I bet the new dangerboy shirts sell out pretty quickly to their YouTube fan base.
What a time to be alive… 🤔
Like others have mentioned he’s making reallly good money outside of salary and bonuses.
Between YouTube, IG, SnapChat, TikTok, merch, salary and race bonuses…I’d be willing to bet he’s the highest paid rider in the sport.
That changed with the class of 99'. Casey johnson got 125k a year from YOT, could have gotten that from pc but wanted the change.
Higher paid than Jett?
I guess I’m different on this one, but as long as these guys are being paid fairly, I couldn’t give a rat’s arse how much money they make.
How has it not been said yet.....
'bout tree fiddy....
