KVD net worth

[willyfish]

How much do you guys think KVD has in the bank? I'm having an argument with a buddy.

[Chief Grey Bear]

Looks like about 8 mill net worth. 

Not sure about the actual account.

Nicest guy u ever met

[Hammer time]

Met and fished him in early 90's super humble nice guy!

Met and fishing with him after his fame hit, completely different guy, very little time and arrogant !

He's the highest earner in BASS history with over 6 million in winnings. I bet he's made at least double that in sponsorship deals.

Making and hanging on to are way two different deals.  It also just cost a complete fortune to fish.  6 figures easy and you can put that number into the low 6 figures to mid 6 figures if your the least bit extravagant.  That is why the sponsors are so important to help foot the bill on expenses and entry fees.

The biggest tournament year I ever had, I made $19,000.00  It cost me right at $19,000.00 to do it.

I've met KVD 3 times and he has always been polite and he does not know me from Adam.  Not Buddy, buddy polite or lets go to lunch polite, but cordial.  He always has to be somewhere and has just about no time to get there. He has a thousand people pulling his strings and is under the same type of people pressure as any baseball player or movie star.  His time is never his.  That is the price you pay.  As for his net worth, I'm sure he is comfortable, but I have also heard there has been a couple of deals that went sour for him and cost some dough.  Don't know it for a fact, but we all make mistakes with investments.  You just hope they are not huge mistakes.  Mistakes for him and mistakes for me however would be on a totally different monetary scale.
