Rob Dyrdek Net Worth ($50 Million)
How did Rob Dyrdek make his money and wealth?
Rob Dyrdek was born in Kettering, Ohio in 1974. At the age of eleven, he picked up skateboarding, and he almost immediately fell in love with the sport. When he was just twelve years old, he began his career by acquiring a sponsorship with the help of professional skateboarder Neil Blender. When Dyrdek was only sixteen, Blender founded a new board sponsor called Alien Workshop, which Dyrdek decided to become a part of. At that point, Dyrdek decided to drop out of high school and move to California to more seriously pursue a career as a professional skateboarder.
Dyrdek was moderately successful as a skateboarder, but his career didn’t really take off until he began to work with MTVA. Between 2006 and 2008, he starred in Rob & Big, a reality television program that followed the life of Rob and his bodyguard, Big Black. The show was pretty popular, but it was nothing compared to Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory. Fantasy Factory began airing in 2009, and it was wildly popular among viewers as being entertaining, larger than life, and charming. The final season of the show aired in 2015.  During that time, Dyrdek dabbled in different entrepreneurial pursuits and continued to develop his career in entertainment, appearing in video games like Skate 2 and in films like Jackass 3.5.
The biggest thing that Rob has going on right now is his newest MTV program, Ridiculousness. The show involves Dyrdek and a panel of other commentators watching viral videos (most of which involve stunts and extreme sports) and commenting on them in humorous ways. Ridiculousness is currently in its seventh season, and it’s one of the more consistently popular reality programs that MTV airs. The show regularly brings on different celebrity guests, too. Although skating has sort of become secondary to Rob Dyrdek’s career as a television personality and entrepreneur, he owes almost everything that he has to the sport.
