how rich are they?
-
Pretty rich; but not as rich as Arnold.
-
Rich enough to be called rich. :P
-
Wealth is measured in a lot of ways.
Would you rather have a ton of time, or money?

you think the money comes from the supps or the shows

in most cases if you are rich you have time
-

Supps + Magazines; Nobody cares about the shows.
-
I would ball park guess that Joe and Ben are together worth over 300mil.
-
After the past couple of weeks, probably not as rich as they were 2 months ago.
-
how rich are they?
Do you call $350 MILLION rich???
If yes, then they are rich.
-
Do you call $350 MILLIOn rich???
If yes, then they are rich.
hell yeah
-
Do you call $350 MILLION rich???
If yes, then they are rich.
was that the amount they sold their publications for?
-
was that the amount they sold their publications for?
Yeah, but I don't think the nutrition comnpany went with the 4 mags-cannot recall.
If Weider nutrition was separate then that is another 100 million +.

I watched a show on the Weider bro's. Joe was the strongman with Ben as the organizer for it all. Joe became a mutli millionair back in 1940 or 41 if I remember right. Then the publisher for his magazine went under and he lost everything, his entire fortune was gone. Joe did not quit, he rebuilt it all back from nothing more than an established name. The show I watched stated that Weider Interprises was a 700 million dollar a year deal, what with all the supplements, magazines and shows. So yes, they are very wealthy indeed. They have been for over 60 years.

Wrong.
Joe was born in 1922, and there is NO way he was a millionaire in 1940 at age 18, plus a million dollars would be like a billion today.
Joe may have become a millioaire in the late 60's or early 70's when him and Arnold hooked up and made each other both wealthy as hell.

I agree. Weider had one magazine in the 40s. In the 50s he had many non-bodybuilding mags, including true confession type and various blue mags. The IFBB really didn't become established until the 1960s. There were a handful of IFBB contests in 1948-1951, then nothing until 1959. The Weider empire didn't take off until the late 60s, after they met Arnold. The Weider mags, weights, and supplements didn't surpass Hoffman's empire until the late 70s.

Money. Homeless people have a ton of time not keen to be them.

::) a million back then would be about 13-20million today.
hope this helps jackass.

Actually Joe was quite young when he published his first magazine and I belive it was very popular.

Do you experts know why Weider moved from their publication business from the east coast to the west coast
-

The weather back east was really affecting Joe's sinus problems, Ben heard there was a Bonaparte fan club out west, Betty wanted some west coast c**k?
-

Consent Laws.

Like the Pet shop boys said : " GO WEST " ?
-
Yup, they rich bitch and you gotta admire the buisness savvy of those two snake oil salesman. Back in the day da brothas Weider led us naive teens to believe that with enough Weider protein powder, tigers milk bars and Arnold's arm blaster combined with hard work that you too could look like Ahnald.
They cleverly left out the decca, test and dianabol protocols. Sneaky lil devils :)

Because the west coast-So Cal specifically-was the center of the BBing universe-and it staye dthat way until the early 90's when large commercial gyms popped up all over the nation.

As I work most days all day, I often envy the homeless. No alarm clock needed, baby!

You don't know shit jackass. I said "If I remember right", all I remember was they said he was around 30 so that would be in 1952 then. Arnold sponged as much knowledge from Joe as he could on how to become a millionair.

No, that is not what you said jack ass, why not go back and read your stupid ass post before shooting your bullshit mouth off again;

Joe and Weider Publications moved from NJ to LA. Ben and the IFBB remained in Montreal.

-

I won't get this 100% correct but I heard it from a very very very inside source which I would think you would know who. Actually two people I know confirmed it. In short they were forced to leave because they owed alot of money to the printing companies they were using. If I remember right it was actually two different companies they owed money too. They could not find any other company to print for them so they made the move to the West Coast where it seemed more logical anyway.

Yes they did a voluntary liquidation and dropped all their debt. Screwed up a lot of small businesses they owed money to. Typical Jew bastards.
