Careercow Brandon "Bam" Margera - From Jackass to Lolcow

He’s broke as Nasty Nikki found out. I think it’s more that the Bamster used to be a heartthrob for emo/scene girls 20 years ago. That doesn’t mean shit to 99% of the world in current year plus nine but for a z-lister aspiring model like Danii, it’s just enough status to make him seem like a catch compared to the undoubtedly dozens into hundreds of guys she’s fucked in her lifetime.
Sure he doesn’t have anything near the same level as in his hay days, but he still owns at least one significant property, plus whatever royalties and dividends that may still be active. He’s definitely spending more than what he’s earning and I don’t think he has a large pile of cash, but I would still speculate that the assets he could liquidate would keep him going for years to come.
 
Another firsthand account of meeting Bam: IMG_0241.jpeg
 
I recently did a commissioning project for a steel mill in Kentucky. It's located kind of in the middle of nowhere so ultimately the best place to stay was a river boat casino that doesn't move anymore.

I was there the weekend that Bret Michaels was performing. I think Michaels is like 10, maybe 15 years older than Bam. The whole casino was filled with old people smoking, drinking, and looked like grandmothers trying to convince casino security to let them backstage.

I think I've seen Bam's future.

The sad thing is, Bam will never match bret.
Theyre both retarded has been who live off former fame, BUT Bret seem to be sober for a long time, take his has been life seriously and respect his fans by actually showing up.

Say what you want but that man wasn't handed anything and I think since he's around 60 or so he's hellbent on keeping what he created.

Bam isnt even close to that level of discipline, he's just a manchild retard who will more likely than not end up in a ditch.
He wish he could have the longevity of michels career.

I'm saying all this, not as a fan of michels, but as a observer of bam.

Oh yeah, the guy definitely has his shit together compared to Bam. I honestly don't get why Bam keeps doing these tours and stuff. They always end with him either no showing or getting into a fight with fans/staff/etc and gets arrested.

Someone has to be fronting him to get him on board. There is no way they make a profit by Bam going to say Iceland, just to have his head kicked in.

He keeps doing them because dumb asses invited him.

He thinks it'll be an easy payday but he dicks it up being a drunk retard.

I've heard at those big cons people can make 20-60k a weekend! Not bad posing for shots saying your catch phrase and signing stuff for people who all love you and your work.

Bam somehow ends up poorer than he started and in a rehab.

Semi unrelated points to Bret, he knows where he is what bridges he burnt and time changes fans. He's truly happy for what he has even if it's a flicker of what it was before. The man gave up his ego and is better for it.

I don't think Bamuel will grasp this lesson before he croaks.
 
It really is fascinating seeing someone go from a household name for quite a bit twenty years ago, and being fawned over by underage girls like crazy. To hitting the bottom the barrel a dozen times, going through it, and somehow keeps landing in deeper barrels.

He's almost like a Truman show case study on how far someone could fall and not go flat broke and die.

I remember years ago websites estimated his net worth as fifty mill, which might have been actually legitimate given his spending habits and he still doesn't require a job for years now. Although him doing side hustles leads me to believe that well has dried up immensely.

Nah when Phil was managing his money he made some very good investment decisions with it. Bam's not gonna go broke. He may not be $50 mil rich anymore, but he'll always have enough.
My family is from the same area (West Chester/Conshohocken) and Ape used to cut my stepmother's hair. I remember my dad telling me if I ever wanted anything signed to ask her. So for awhile she had all the tea about whatever he was up to. I have always hated Bam because I was also in the skateboarding universe and I'd run into him from time to time. He has always been a huge douchebag prima donna bitch. I'd love to see him flat broke, but it's very unlikely to happen.

I know Phil was his accountant. But the fact he's doing side hustles for pennies makes me think he's had to belt tighten spending.
 
haven’t checked into this thread in a while. You guys are consistently awesome in posting the stuff I want to see, which was commentary on the recent meet and greets this time around. Read both accounts, both seem real legit to me.

Not sure how Bam can have any fans legitimate enough to want to go see a comedy act… his life is hilariously in shambles and is free to watch.

My favorite thing that Bam does is post all of these pictures of he and his crew in various dingy dive bars with all of these water glasses on the table. He sometimes brings books with him too. Nothing speaks sobriety louder than doing a photo op with 20 glasses of water in your table while holding a book between your sausage fingers while being posted up in a dive.

I was in the West Chester area for a couple of years too and every now and then I'd see him in bars. Saw him get thrown out a couple of times as well. Dunno if you ever got a chance to see his property in Pocopson. Guy really does not deserve to live in such a nice area.

That reminds me of when he got the shit beat out of him by a sheboon with a bat. Good times.

 
Don Vito, as he was dying, looked healthier than current year Bam. Does he have fatty liver disease? I'd bet the answer to that is yes.
Given he's getting that W. C. Fields face, I would wager a guess to yes.
