American BMX racer, tv broadcaster, and singer T.J. Lavin seem to have a $9 mil fortune. T.J. Lavin earned this money as a professional BMX rider and dirt jumper. In addition, he anchors the MTV reality show series – The Challenge and enjoys a long history of sponsorship partnerships.
He started bicycling at the age of 15 and was named Thomas Joseph Lavin in Las Vegas, Nevada, in 1976. At the age of 19, he went professional, and since then, he has triumphed in nearly all of his contests, including the X Games and the Dew Action Sports Tour. Along with cycling, he also established a record label in his house and trained himself how to play piano.
TJ brought back three bronze, one silver, and three gold medals from the X Olympics. In addition to his victory in the X Games, TJ has won the Gravity Games championship, the European championship, and the CFB Championship.
It’s still unclear how much TJ Lavin makes hosting The Challenge. Despite those who asserted that he earns more than $300,000, neither he nor anybody at MTV has ever acknowledged that figure. US Weekly’s insiders claim that The Challenge contestants are paid differently depending on how much expertise they possess.
According to the article, newbies on the series make $1,000 per week, and returning participants might get between $3,000 and $5,000 per week. The most popular contestants and seasoned pros, such as Johnny Devenanzio, Cara Maria Sorbello, and CT Tamburello, can get almost $80,000 only for participating on the first day.
It’s reasonable to presume that TJ, as the show’s presenter, earns 6 figures considering the top end of the salary range for contestants.
The reality Television host’s acting career is one aspect that many folks are barely aware of. TJ Lavin’s presence on television goes beyond the tiny screen; the BMX superstar has appeared in a couple of movie productions, notably the horror flick Beast: A Monster Among Men from 2013 and the more recent edgy drama Viena and the Fantomes from 2020.
Lavin was the basis for a game titled MTV Sports: T.J. Lavin’s Ultimate BMX, similar to other sports figures with titles bearing their names. The Game Boy Color and PlayStation 1 versions of the game featured complicated tricks, bike racing, and dirt jumping.
Sadly, owing to the game’s poor revenues and extremely unfavorable criticism, it was never expanded further after its first launch.
