When I saw that PBW was having Rich Gaspari on their show it got me wondering. How much money does that guy have? His company is one of the big players out there. He and Lee Labrada must be swimming in the dough. Any guesses how much Rich Gaspari is worth? 30 million?
-
WIKI has him valued at $85 to $90 million.

You have to be kidding me if that is what you think he is worth because that website says so. They also have Adonis as a bodybuilder. That website is something you put together yourself or have someone else do it. you are in charge of what is in the content.

Agreed. Millions is a Joke! The guy has done fantastically well from the "Bodybuilding Business" and deserves to.

I don't make anything up, friend. So you must think you have a premium on knowing Gaspari personally? The news is you don't, champion.

I was kidding guys. I thought it would be obvious.
You know, like when someone asks what bodybuilders earn per year and I respnd with "$4.3 million".

weird, last time i heard about him he was flipping burgers at wendys.

Labrada Nutrition numbers in 2002:
http://www.inc.com/inc5000/2007/company-profile.html?id=2002432
They only state actual sales. That is a far cry from what the company is actually making. Aside from all the money spent on marketing, expos, advertisement, salary's, product cost, rent ect ect...
-
...
-
True, but those are also 2002 figures, so Labrada's company may be grossing far more now.
Ahh..maybe. I dont sell his stuff so I wouldnt have an idea on how much he raised his prices since the increase in the price of raws. In 2002 business was good for everyone. The media hype's up this stupid recession and people stop spending money.
52 Million is not bad but if we could find out his ROI/ROS then we could figure get a better idea on how much of that is actual profit.

gaspari's novadex is a very good product, a bit pricey though

Where did it say $52 million. It says $18 in sales.
-
As much as I don't like the Jewish controlled US media, I think it is reasonable for Americans (and Canadians) to be cautious right now regarding the alleged looming recession. On PBW, they said that both Gaspari and Labrada were in the top 10 of highest selling companies for BB.com.
You forget that this is bodybuilding, a fringe activity. Top ten company for BB.Com? Still jack shit compared to the real world !

Yeh Rich was and is a class act. Truly the rags to riches story of bodybuilding. If you see pics of him as a kid, you'd think he's never have been able to win best built guy in his block!
-
a good buisness would make 10% profit from its overall turnover taking all running costs into account, well with my limited knowledge anyway.

But when you get into really large companies that have annual sales over $100 million you would be suprised the ROS that these companies operate with.

All depends on the business, profit margins and competititon.
The computer and grocery industries have profit margins of under 1%.
The restaurant industry can have huge profit margins if you make it (95% fail).
Plus, there is ALWAYS a break even point, which after you hit it ,the profit margins go up exponentially, and that is when the real money rolls in.

I trained with Rich in 1984 when he guest posed at the Contra Costa, right after he won the Universe. His conditioning, year round,was just incredible, no one had that back in 1984.
Cool guy.

lee labarda is supposed to be earning the most and his company is apparently worth $20 million.

So what is Rich Gaspari worth?
Rich Gaspari is worth more than all of us combined, over our entire wage earning lifespans.
Honestly, I don't know how much Rich is worth. I don't care to know. All I know is he's a smart business man who also has a smart & beautiful wife at his side, every step of the way!
Gaspari Nutrition makes enough to be able to be a major sponsor of almost all major bodybuilding competitions, pay for extensive clinical studies to support the claims of their supplements, and pay for top notch models for the ads, promos and their booths at the expos.
Gaspari is also very conservative. The company doesn't dish out free supps (not even to their employees), they have been very selective about which athletes they sponsor, and they only hire athlete/models to represent them (not bimbos like alot of other companies out there).
If any company is gonna survive the war of the supplements, it will be Gaspari Nutrition.
LONG LIVE THE BLUE TEAM

I would agree everything you said but in regards to sponsorship and top (meaning most expensive athletes's) and being a top promoter you are wrong. One thing that Gaspari has is the advantage of being owned by Rich Gaspari he can continue to market himself without dishing out millions to retain a top 3 contender. Compared to his competition his budget is way down. He doesnt spend anywhere near what his competition is spending on marketing and althlete endorsement.
As far as him being worth more then all of us over our entire lifespan is immature and ignorant (or someone who is new to money and has no grasp on the actual value of things). Put Gaspari up for sale today right now and come back with offer over 10 Million and I might believe everything you said.

Yea! Well they don't Goodrum, so they can't be that reputable. And Goodrum was their #1 distributor in the universe. Why don't they have Goodrum as one of their sponsored athletes (even though he isn't an athlete).
-

I dunno... that Gaspari logo is on just about every show you see... they put $ everywhere.
-
Gaspari does put money everywhere, but compare his ads to MuscleTech ads. I will likely write a huge article on this soon on my website exposing what to look for in ads, and use Gaspari ads as examples of good ads. Notice he always cites the clinical proof and MuscleTech never does? They simply say something was shown in a trial which apparently didn't make peer review...
Gaspari's ads are honest and not full of bodybuilders - usually just a picture of himself or something else similarly conservative. I greatly respect this about Gaspari's business model.
-
I'm not talking about print ads... rather, the logo on every website sponsor list and show curtain you come across these days. He shows lots of love to lots of shows.
-
That's true - it's as if he is throwing around anywhere between $1,000 - $10,000 per show, easily. His ads are everywhere, and he is a pretty smart and driven guy so I would suspect he knows what he is doing and therefore has the ability to fund all of these endeavors. That said, sometimes his drive works to his own detriment. Rich reminds me of myself in this respect, in that I don't know if he really understands what balance is. I only started figuring it out within the past eight months, and it is possible that Rich still doesn't know, although I am only speculating based predominantly on his tenacity as a bodybuilder, not so much based on his current life. Hopefully with his supplement company solidly grounded in the industry now and with his new family, he is becoming a more balanced person than he once was. Lee Haney even once stated that Rich's intensity was detrimental in some respects.

8) I must agree ! muscle tech should be closed down and the money theve generated conviscated based on false and misleading advertizing ! lets face it ! What they do is simply fraud !

If it isn't actually fraud, I would say it is very close to it. They probably consult with their lawyers to ensure their ads are as close to fraudulent as possible without falling under the official legal terminology for it.

8) the only thing that prevents them from being fraud is the goverenments lack of regulation ! because the claims are all 100% bullshit and when bullshit is claimed to be fact thats FRAUD ! Its fucking sad really ! cheers !
-
Yes, the lawyers keep them towing the legal line. They stay right on the line and add in the legally mandated disclaimers, and they're pretty safe from being sued.
Tha being said, they do get caught sometimes. EAS, Weider, etc.... have all had to refund some money based on unfounded supplement claims.
Weider being smacked around the FTC over their "Anabolic Mega Packs" is probably one of the most well known cases.
Weider probably still made out pretty well when all was said and done though.

No.
I don't doubt he has done very well.
But he is not a singular entity in that company.
He worked our show a few years back and told me he hooked up with some major money partners....THAT is when you started seeing the Gaspari company taking out two and four page 'advertorials...major money spoent there.
That pie is not consumed by one person. There are partners to varying extents.
Interestingly (and I am not saying this is the case TODAY)...a major east coast supp distribution company related to m,e that they would not distribute Gasparis supps because, upon visiting their warehouse in NJ (again...about 4 years ago) the place was so filthy that he (the dist. rep) "wouldn't touch anything in there..."
Just what I was told.

LOL ummm you sure JD Babe? I worked there for over 2yrs and have seen a nice array of "bimbo's" hired lol. I know for a fact a few of them were hired JUST on their looks and pictures (i was RIGHT THERE). Dont get me wrong some of them like Mai Tran were VERY smart and educated, but there were also some that were kinda like chew gum twirl hair n giggle type lol. Iv been in the room gawking and laughing looking at girls pictures along with the ENTIRE Gaspari team....so dont think it doesnt happen.
And as for not dishing out free supps to employee's...well policy must have changed lol cuz i remember sending out a fair share to each sales rep, demo rep, and everyone in the office as well lol.

Gaspari sponsored our NPC show a few years back and gave bags of stuff out to over 80 competitors...and their was a ton of stuff left over for the workers and our gym afterwards
