It all depends on their sponsors and how many they have, and the popularity of the skater themself, his/her sponsors, and contests and demo's.normaly they get paid 500 for a sponser but more for sunglasses.
it depends, it could be Thousands, Millions or more :)

Skaters make all kinds of sums of money, it just depends on their sponsors and how much they want to pay them. But if you want to get an idea, here are sources of income that can come from Skateboarding, because regardless of amateur or pro, a skateboarder who is sponsored, will generally receive money because they're lending their image to a company.
Contest Winnings
Advertisements in Magazines/Videos
Photo Incentives (A photo showcased in a magazine can generate money from the magazine company as well as flow sponsorships)
Magazine Covers
Signature Products (Clothing, Hard goods)
But on top of all of that, a skateboarder that is a serious amateur or professional has already entered into a contract with their sponsor which negotiates their pay for either the 2-5 year contract they signed into.
If you want to let your imagination run wild with how much a skateboarder can get paid, rumor has it that a X-Games Street heavy-hitter and Plan-B/Nike SB professional is paid anywhere from 15-25k a month just for each of his sponsors.
There is no true answer for this question. How much a skateboarder makes depends on how good that one particular skateboarder is. How many sponser does he have. Is he pro. How many boards is he selling, what contests is he winning, what video parts is he putting out. How famous is he? These are factors that determine the financial state of a skateboarder.
