Shaun White, the skateboarder and snowboarder dude who hit the big time in a big way, was born on Sept 3, 1986, in sun-soaked San Diego, California. You wouldn’t believe how tough Shaun had it starting out. He had to go through two heart surgeries before he blew out his first birthday candle
As of 2023, the guy’s pulling down a cool annual salary of $10 million. One of his bigger paycheck moments? The time he bagged a 10-year, multi-million-dollar contract with Burton Snowboards in 2009.
In 2016, White showed off his business chops again, but this time he went a bit closer to his roots. He became part-owner of several ski areas, places like Bear, Mammoth Mountain, Snow Summit, and June Mountain.
