Single, no kids.
You can choose to live anywhere, but feel that being in southern California or Las Vegas would be best for your career.
-
Is this reported pre-tax income?
Does this figure include the unreported "sponsorship incentives" for private sessions with elderly rich males? ;D
-

Nope. For that you ought to be in the 150-175k range ;D

In SoCal, that might pay the rent. In many other areas of the country you could live very well.
-
well, in CA not much... everything is like 10x the regular price (house, condo whatever..)
else where a lot.

consider the following:
$$ for drugs = 6k/yr (very conservative)
$$ for food = 10k/yr more than avg. person
$$ for supplements (vitamins, protein and other legal stuff = 5k/yr
$$ for tanning = 4k/yr
so you're down to 100k/yr
NOW
No health insurance = 20k/yr + much more later down the road
No 401k = 7k/yr (just company match and tax benefit; forget about massive interest accumulated over the course of your career)
73k/yr
with cost of living in southern california, 73k is=
43k in atlanta, GA and houston and austin, tx
60k in providence, RI
for a job with no sustainability...my recommendation would be to go back to school

consider the following:
$$ for tanning = 4k/yr
that's a lot of tanning or extremely expensive tanning places.

You forgot that they are self-employed... there is no employer to kick in that portion of the fica payroll tax. So take another 7.5% off the top. ;D
-
Also, they have to pay for transportation and accommodation for competing.

Self-employment tax sucks.

$$ for tanning = 4k/yr
::)
there are places that offer unlimited tanning for like $39.99 per month or maybe cheaper.

I don't know why more people don't get full body bronzing tattoos.

Let's assume that our subject bodybuilder is 30 years old and let's assume that he can expect to earn at about the same level for the next 10 years, adjusted for inflation, after which he'd see a possible decline in his income...unless he's made good investments or launched a new business during his high-earning years. His primary source of income now is product endorsements.

New York city is a pretty pricey place to live and there are tanning shops that charge $35 a month so i don't know where the $4000 figure came from either :-\
My guess is that some of those other numbers are also just grabbed out of thin air.

"forrest"

rom everything discussed on these message boards, I was lead to believe only 10-12 bodybuilders make that much money annually.

If you're living in the NY/NJ area that 125K isn't a lot of money. It really just a middle class income. If you live in Wisconsin or Kentucky then you are living the life. A modest 2500 sq ft. houses in NJ go for $400K to 500K. I know in many parts of Texas you can get a new 2500 sq ft. house for 250K. Everything is relative to the expenses of where you live. Another thing is real estate taxes on your house. A freind of mine pays 18K a year in NJ and he has a brother in another state with about the same size house paying 6K. How about car insurance? A real sample rate in the NY/NJ area is $1500 a year for a car. In Wisconsin the same car and coverage is $400. Again everything is relative to where you live.
In my employment field we get guys from other states because they hear about the high salaries. To bad no one told them that it's taken away by the high cost of living.
Only the top few bodybuilders are making any real money. If they don't invest wisely their supplement contracts will run out when they are forced to stop competing. I wonder how much Flex is making in endorsements now?
-
consider the following:
$$ for drugs = 6k/yr (very conservative)
Wouldn't the amount for a pro be about 4 or 5x 6K?
-
Half the drugs needed in one year to be competitive in pro bodybuilding in the 21st century!

The saying is; "You can't see the forest throught the trees".
