not alot for the effort they put in. but im sure they fare well. i mean have you seen the cedric garcia cribs? he has a sweet house and only bikes / sponsors. no job. and hes doing well. so you can deff make a good living off of it, but its no where near formula 1/ football/ baseball/ basketball

$40K/Year isn't much at all. I make a little more than that at my job, along with my fiance's pay, we get by...

o i wasnt implying that he just bums around all day, i know he has a shop, but for living a pretty chill lifestyle, hes well off. i know he has put a lot of hard work into it.

But they don't get paid a lot. They get paid enough to live off, and to pay for the expenses of travelling acorss the world riding bikes. They don't have enough to purely live off. Most have bike shops, other means of earning money outside Mountain bikes, I know that Minnaar has his own bikeshop, CG has a bar, bikeshop etc, they do a lot of coursebuilding, movies, photoshoots that bring in extra cash.
