What is Weege pulling in per year for all that he does? Yes I realize everything is a secret in our little one horse sport but any ideas?

It's not our business. If it's no big deal, go ahead and publish your tax returns with SS # blurred out

Honest answer. Its out of respect. What difference would it make knowing? 

 And in your question you said "why do all old people....." Are you assuming Im old? Are you going to assume a person is different or act different knowing how much money they make? Lets say you do know, how is that gonna make your life any better? Easier? Harder? 

People should be judged on their character, not their net worth. Again, times have changed

It is an old school thought. I'll be honest, I only make like $65,000 a year as a postal worker. The sport has outpriced me as far as racing goes with everything else being equally increasingly as expensive so I simply can't afford it anymore but I really don't think Weege is this supremely rich dude as some people make it seem. He busts his ass and is an entertainer, that does deserve money and understandably more than me. A lot of people like to say "How hard is it to talk into a microphone and camera" yet if you put any of those people they would be a dud instantly, let alone after 30+  years. 

People do love to pocket watch, though.

Did someone ask weege, or anyone for that matter to do that? You know that has more personal information than just ss number right? I wouldn’t ask someone to do something that I wouldn’t do. 

I make a base of  $105,000 and bonus is all over the place from $0 to $20,000 k.

It's a redneck thing. Every redneck with money does whatever it takes to convince people they don't have money. Drives a shitty vehicle and leaves the nice one in the garage type of people.

I know Weege is from Jersey, but he lives in Nascar country and fits in pretty good.

This is a fair question, if taken at face value. And the answer would be enlightening for many young people who are considering a similar career in the dirt bike industry. And it’s just interesting trivia for the rest of us. 

Weigandt is fortunate enough to probably benefit from several income streams: salary from Racer Productions, NBC Sports payroll, and maybe a cut of the sponsorship monies from his podcast. He definitely works hard and earns his keep. And there’s nothing wrong with us wanting to know the ballpark figures.

Generally speaking, income secrecy best serves the interest that pays the wages, not the workers. But you all knew that, right?

I'd be shocked if he's up that high.  I think the Pulp show and especially his fantasy league really pull down some numbers (as they should).  I'd bet lower to mid 6 figures all in for Weege but I'd be very happy for him if it's higher than that.

Surely Dunlop is showering him in Benjamin’s for talking about the scoop tire every race

If I had to work every weekend and overtime, I would want to be well compensated. More so after being forced to wear that I'll fitting sports coat in public.

You made quite a bit more than me & I,m a ic paid 1099, run 20-40+ hrs days 7 days a week. Not being paid & constantly getting ripped off. I was off for quite a few injections also. And the wages r cut in 1/2.   A fire fighter in Green Bay told me ovr the weekend in the sauna at the y.  He makes 60K a yr.   3 weeks ago I had a phone hearing with the iL. Labor dept in Chicago. For 2 claims against  1099 co.s  12-29-2020 to 4-19-21 just  under 40k not paid. Most of that is to mid Feb.  the 2nd co hired a attorney for the 2nd time.  Not including everything almost 23k.  Way to many details to cover. The attorney kept bringing up the contract.  It was a haz mat job pulling a reefer trl. The 1st 2+ weeks I worked out of s bend on call . Nfi dispatched me & I pulled there trailers. Etc.  I said they voided the contract day  1.  I went to work as a ic pulling hz loads . Not to work for a crappy w2 co for a low flat rate.  Judge stumbled my last name a few times. I said close enough it’s Naitive American. Big mistake iL. Doesn’t hv a res in the  st.  IL. Did loose a 175 yr court battle this yr.  Judge is raising his voice & stopping me from speaking.  We r having a hearing because I was not paid.  I was on 2 lane back roads in wild fire smoke for 2 states of the 5 st 2 lane rds. I just made it to a 4 lane and parked on the shoulder on a ramp.   Such bullshit if the judge denies my rt to unpaid wages.  I,m taking the employers to Tribal court.  And prove what everyone says, Chicago is a slave city.  20 mil went threw the slave system since 08.

It doesn't matter how much Weege gets paid, as long as it's more than about $74.50 a month after taxes. He can really stretch a budget, that guy.

The important thing is, Weege spends much less then he makes and i respect him for that.

Re your last point - no-one in this discussion or on Vital is either of those parties.

Steve said on pulp show 601 he makes 200k a year so I bet Weege is there or more. 

I would say more than 200k . I know alot of people that live in the ne and I lived there. I saw a vid of his backyard. No one under 300k a yr lives in that neighborhood.  In the 90,s we had a special gathering at my Dutch grandparents.   My uncle was always ribbing me about how much I made. I always said enough to keep Brenda happy. This day he was on a new level. He asked what was your last check? I whispered 4,997 apparently my oldest sister has hearing of a Eagle. She slammed her fist on the table dishes went flying and  yelled from the inside of her body. I hv a masters degree and I don’t make 1/2 of that.  I just said yeah but do you pay 50 mil & 250 k a week to organized crime to end strikes and a weekly fee to work in there area. Job site foreman, operate everything, laborer work that the new guy can’t do, mechanic, welder, surveyor, trucker, etc. race horse mentality job 3-5 yrs and your done.  That check was quite a bit bigger than the usual 2,500-, 2,900 gross. That was a scab wage I never got union scale main line pipeline rate of 78.00 in 94.  I always kept it a secret from everyone back then.  My last check 706.00 1099 no taxes out. Ukraine scum bag took out hundreds of dollars out for bs.  That’s a 7 day work week check . I did get some cash from a couple organized crime people because I was respectful, fun to work with.  1k 1,500 just a little walking around money really. I was expecting at least 500k for the money grab I helped create.  There even cheap.  I could’ve started this other crime outfit is in and your out. And let them fight it out.  893 mil per project and 5  projects.  That’s a lot of money in 95.   But I was too wild at the time , totally out of control with a lot of women. I did get shot twice in the funny  bone . That was because I was nailing 1 of the mob big shots wives. Gorgeous Italian 100% worth it.

Is there a reason for people to be judged at all? I present Red Bull Rampage as evidence.
