He's got an anti-aging clinic set up in California and does very well. Plus he marketed himself during his prime and made a fair bit of coin from modeling and stuff, from what I understand. Don't know if he did anything sordid and honestly, don't care.

Troy invested in some properties early on in his career that have since exploded in value. He also owns a number (15+) of car wahses which bring in a few thousand per week. Also he owns an anti ageing clinic

Most rich bodybuilder's make their fortune from other business ventures or even guest posing/seminars

Very little comes from bb show prize money

Post by: HeyNow on February 22, 2009, 10:49:32 PM: Dexter makes alot of cash, I was reading this article of him winning between 350-380K just from shows alone. It was in a muscle development mag. I assume with his guest posing and his various sponsors he probably made between 500-600K last year. Thats pretty damn good for bodybuilding.
Heath, Coleman, Cutler, Wolf, Toney and Vic made decent amount of cash too. Alot of you guys are afraid to admit it because your stuck doing something you hate for a living, but theres probably a decent amount of IFBB pros actually making a decent living off the hobby.

I disagree with this short pimpleish sweedish.

Palumbo's run with the law cost him quite a bundle.

I've seen Shawn's house down here and it's quite a nice estate. Palumbo's house looks like shitty subdivision from google maps (he ships his products from his house)...

Shawn = professional for many years with a really sustainable model...

Palumbo never turned pro and relied on fake GH for income.

Do the motherfvckiing math.
