Chad Wienen Net Worth 2026: ATV MX Racer & Team Owner

No financial publication has put a figure on Chad Wienen's net worth, so this page does not give one. The $1.5 million and $22.5 million numbers that older profile sites carried, including an earlier version of this page, had no source and contradicted each other, so they have been removed. What the record does show is a 22-year professional career in ATV motocross, eight AMA Pro ATV Motocross National Championships, and his own race team, Wienen Motorsports, which he ran from 2012 until he retired from pro racing in 2025.

What is Chad Wienen's net worth?

There is no estimate from Celebrity Net Worth, Forbes or any sports business outlet. Wienen is a privately funded racer and team owner in a niche series, and neither his team budget nor his sponsor deals have been made public. Any exact number you see online is a guess.

What can be said is where his money came from. Pro ATV motocross pays through purses, manufacturer contingency money and sponsor support rather than big salaries. A good example of the purse side: Wienen won all three motos at the ATV Pro Challenge MX in Kemp, Texas, and took home the $10,000 top prize, according to Maxxis. On the sponsor side, K&N told readers in a team profile that it gives Wienen Motorsports a yearly budget and that the team has done research and development work on K&N air filters (K&N Filters).

Chad Wienen's yearly earnings and income

His income has never been published. The table of yearly, monthly and daily income that used to sit here (750,000, 62,000 and 2,100 USD) came from no identifiable source and has been dropped.

The income streams that are documented are:

• Race winnings and contingency. Event purses such as the $10,000 ATV Pro Challenge win, plus manufacturer contingency programs like Yamaha's bLU cRU, which backed his YFZ450R for most of his title years (ATV Rider).
• Sponsorship. K&N listed more than 40 partners on his program, among them Yamaha, Maxxis, Walsh, SSi Decals, Fly Racing and FMF (K&N Filters).
• Team ownership. As owner of Wienen Motorsports he also ran a second rider, Thomas Brown, in 2013, when the two won nine of the season's ten overall rounds (Off-Road.com).
• Coaching. After retiring he said he planned to stay in the sport as a mentor and coach (Momentum podcast).

Early life and family

Wienen comes from Galena, Illinois, and race results through his career list that as his hometown. He began riding ATVs at about 10 with his cousins on his grandparents' farm. His first quad was a Kawasaki. He entered his first local motocross race on impulse in 2001, at 16, winning the first moto and crashing in the second (K&N Filters).

Racing has stayed a family affair. His older brother Matt, a former ATV racer, has worked on the crew, and his father, grandparents and in-laws have traveled to events (K&N Filters).

Chad Wienen wife

Wienen is married. In the K&N profile he said his wife handles marketing and bookkeeping for the team and helps film race and training videos for social media (K&N Filters). Her name is not given in the sources we could check, so we no longer repeat the name older sites used. On the 2025 retirement podcast he talked about spending more time as a father, including projects with his son (Momentum podcast).

Education

We found no reliable record of his schooling. Earlier versions of this page named a local high school and praised his grades, but no source supported that, so it has been removed.

Professional career

Sources: K&N Filters, Off-Road.com, Maxxis, ATV Motocross.

Before running his own team he rode for factory programs including Monster Energy Kawasaki, where K&N says he helped earn the team's first overall win, and Motoworks Can-Am. The 2011 back injury pushed him into team ownership. He told Off-Road.com that running his own program meant ordering parts, wrenching on the quads, washing and driving the rig, and that about four people ran the whole operation in-house (Off-Road.com).

The eighth title came in 2021. He clinched it with 2-2 motos at the final round in Nashport, Ohio, finishing with 440 points and a 16-point margin after four wins and six second places (Maxxis). He also raced for the U.S. at the FIM Quadcross of Nations six times; Maxxis credited him with three of those team wins by 2021, and he was part of the 2023 U.S. team that took a fifth title (High Gear Success).

Recent changes (2025–2026)

Wienen missed most of 2024 after being hurt at the Daytona opener. He came back at the same track in March 2025 and finished third in the AMA ATV Pro SX main event (ATV Motocross). Later that year he closed out his pro career. The Momentum podcast summed it up as 22 years as a pro, eight national titles, 67 career wins and six Team USA appearances, and said he was moving into mentoring and coaching (Momentum podcast).

Age, height and weight

His exact birth date is not public. He was 16 when he first raced in 2001, and his own X profile in September 2018 gave his age as 33 (X), which puts him around 41 in 2026. His height and weight are not documented by any reliable source; the 5 ft 8 in and 68 kg figures older sites used were unsourced and have been removed.

Why estimates differ

Pages that print a number for Wienen do not say where it came from, and the two numbers this page used to show were 15 times apart. Team budgets, sponsor contracts and his personal finances are private. The honest summary is that his wealth comes from two decades of race winnings, sponsor support and his team business, and that no one has published a verified total.
