Ringo Starr peddling cheapo shoes.

[Troubleatmill]

First it was John Lydon selling some mass produced incipid English butter.

Now Ringo Starr is peddling some rather nastily made cheap shoes.

Surely his bank balance isn't that low?

Nasty & cheap? Look fine to me.
I expect he got paid a few million, can't see what the problem is!

I wonder if the Skechers demographic even know who Ringo Starr is? A bit like Miley Cyrus* advertising Werther's Originals.

How much money in the bank do you need to turn down £250k for an hours time in a photographic studio? I'd do it for £2.5k etc. These guys might be wealthy but they still recognise good money earning opportunities.

Where they will hesitate or turn it down is where it can affect their future career or earnings. When you're earning mainly royalties (by the bucket load? If MJ hasn't bought all the backlog??) or investment income those two aspects don't really come into it much.

I think it's more a case of Sketchers introducing themselves to people of Ringo's age. Opening up a new market, as it were.

They do appear to be elasticated for comfort, like proper old-person shoes...

My other half bought a pair of Sketchers last weekend, said they are very comfortable.

Always wonder why he got the job to voice Thomas the Tank, he's got millions anyway, the kids don't care who's voice it is (they don't even know who Ringo is) and there are plenty of struggling actors out there who need the work/money.

I am sure that Skechers are delighted that their name is so well-known now

Finally sold his sole….

I buy Skechers all the time. They are one of the most comfortable shoes I have ever bought. I'd hardly call them cheapo shoes but if you are used to buying designer shoes then they are cheap. LOL

''Surely his bank balance isn't that low?''..........Wonder how many 100's of thousands, or even millions he'll get for this then ?

[Wacky Racer]

Ringo is worth around 100 million.

Ever thought he may be endorsing them because he actually likes them?

He definitely does not need the money.
