Tony Hawk has an estimated net worth of $120 million
Tony Hawk is an American former professional skateboarder and actor with an estimated net worth of $120 million. He is well known for his licensed video games distributed through Activision. Hawk is 6’3″ and weighs 171 pounds. Anthony Frank Hawk was born on May 12, 1968 in Carlsbad, California. Raised in San Diego, Hawk was described by his parents as hyperactive and a perfectionist. So much so, that he was evaluated by a psychologist who tested Hawk’s intelligence and his IQ was measured at 144. His parents encouraged his skateboarding, which started at age 9, because it was a good outlet for his excess energy.
By the age of 12, Hawk was winning amateur contests throughout California leading him to turn pro at the age of 14. Two years later, he would be recognized as the best skater in the world, an honor he would keep for at least 10 years. But even before then, he was earning plenty of money skating, making much more than his teachers by the time he graduated from high school when he was 17 and buying his first house before he finished 12th grade. Although he was widely recognized as the best skater in the world, Hawk did endure lean financial times when skating’s popularity died down in the early 1990s.
Hawk started his own skating company, Birdhouse, at a time when skating was relatively dormant on a national scale, but went building the brand and when skating took off again in the mid to late 1990s until it would become one of the largest skate companies in the world. In addition, in 1999, Hawk partnered with Activision to the video game Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater which would become one of the most popular video game franchises in history. He would continue skating professionally until 1999, coincidentally the first year of the now world-renowned X-Games. He continues to be sport’s No. 1 ambassador and his celebrity has crossed over into several genres, including television, film and websites. Tony Hawk has been married three times and has four children.
