Entrepreneur magazine checks in with the raddest businessmen on the planet: Ryan Sheckler, bmxer Dave Mirra, and Paul Rodriguez to see how things are hanging. From Sheckler’s “Ferrari F430 parked outside,” to Mirra’s “multimillion-dollar business” to P.Rod’s “shoe boutique” the magazine makes it look like getting paid isn’t so bad afterall.
“I’m a skateboarder,” Sheckler says. “I’ll always be just a skateboarder. But I have these awesome opportunities that I’ll never let go by. It started with skateboarding. It’ll end with skateboarding. The things I do in between are my choice. The haters can say what they want, and the people who are my friends can realize what I’m doing and realize the empire I’m building for myself, and tag along and have some fun.”
Now really, who would hate on Ryan?

I think what P Rod and Mirra have done so far is commendable, but Ryan Sheckler and his POS ‘RS’ brand that makes me baby barf in my mouth everytime I see it, just has to go away.
It seems like everything WMG touches these days is going into the shitter, including all their online properties which all stink. I feel bad for their riders they manage. Poor Chaz Ortiz is going to be taken mad advantage of.
WMG is making all kinds of money but I just don’t think they are going about it in the right way.
