According to the bulletproof arbiter of truth, celebritynetworth.comKelly Slater is worth $40 million.

Although most of those doubloons are spent on various investments—from four homes around the world to an ownership stake in the companies behind every single piece of equipment in this video (right down to the sunscreen on his famous dome)—the 11-time world champion has plenty of cash on hand in case a swell appears somewhere in God’s blue ocean.

Shot a year ago, before Kelly and Kalani announced their pregnancy, this video illustrates a trend that’s emerging across all surf media. As feature-length films are made less and less and our collective attention spans continue to shrink, filmmakers are deciding to start their own YouTube channels and present us little piggies with increasingly high-quality clips in shorter, easily digestible bites—we only have to watch a few Lamps Plus commercials.

So instead of shelling out $19.99 for a DVD or iTunes file, we can watch the (perhaps inarguably) best backside barrel rider of all time (see Paul Evans’ Pigdog article for the full argument) in breathtaking slow motion on some of the greatest barrels the third planet from the sun has to offer.

It’s certainly worth those seven minutes if you place your bet on RK Slater for the Fiji Pro – the wait starts in eight days. Perhaps Kelly can pass the wealth on to us plebs at the sprightly age of 52.
