From what I've heard, Max Park makes somewhere in the realm of 2 million a year has a net worth of 2 million, but unless you're world-class and very specialized, I doubt you would make very much money on cubing alone. Probably less than 1%.

Max park can not be making 2 million a year, playing with plastic can not make you a multimillionare.

Actually I realize not 2 million a year, but he has a net worth of 2 million plus. I can't quite remember where I saw it, but I know for a fact that his net worth is 2.4 million.

I realize I meant net worth, probably makes around 100-150 K a year.

Not sure where you got this number from, but it seems pretty outlandish to me. I don’t know Max or have any connections with him, but I just don’t see where that type of money would be coming from.

Net worth of 2m and yearly income of 2m are so vastly different. Even the 150k/yr you claim seems on the high end, but I suppose it’s possible for the #1 cuber in the world right now. I honestly don’t expect that he’s making much more than a decent living, but I may be missing some potential income opportunities for Cubers.

Either way 1% is way too high. Out of 225,000+ people who have competed in competitions, I’d be shocked to learn there are more than a dozen people making a decent living solely off cubing skill. I’m not particularly familiar with the economics of cubers though, so I could be wrong.

Forgive me for being so insufferably stupid.

The tags are just goofy. Are you actually cool and popular in life? Are you actually goated?

What percent of speedcubers make decent money from speedcubing?

This is a really interesting question.
First off, sponsorship definitely helps towards decent money
2nd, if you win a big competition, worlds, US nats, Euros, etc you’ll surely get a big bonus. Unfortunately, prize money is often so little it’s hardly worth counting.
3rd, if you’re a top cuber and do YouTube, you’ll surely get some decent monetisation

 

[qwr]

depends on what you count as decent money. but the answer is 0% unless you're cubehead, j perm, or max park

For money, you should be sponsored from a cubing store. But you have to be a very good speedcuber (unlike me).
