..you forgot 800lb raw bench-pressing, 1000lb squatting and 3 Phd graduates.
Pretty much everybody on here is. That's part of Getbig's charm.
- Block!

no, i'm not a pilot. my jet is a Citation V and i own it.

ok...you'd be the first for this site which would send off all the alarms. crib and bentley required also to authenticate this. please include sign i love getdumb with shots. you can cover your face and all that jazz.

story behind this picture...... as we're coming in for our final approach, i instruct my captain and co-pilot to park the plane so the backdrop shows LV hotels. both guys looked at me like WTF Huh but said nothing. it probably took an additional 30 mins of maneuvering when we landed to get the MGM and Luxor in the shot. Cool
NT
And?
I started out in Engineering but I couldnt use the mechanical drawing arms...so I chose Bio Science because I had the ability to master the art of science long term.
if you are truly the biggest player on getdumb then proof is important in your case. xfactor and alex23 talk down a lot of the younger guys on here but those two runny nose trolls back up their claims to a certain extent.
that cit V is a $3M plane used!

You mean "multimillionaires"? I qualify. I have so much money I like to post on getbig to let others know about it.
I could be out banging supermodels and putting together more multimillion dollar business deals, but instead, I'm here to share my bankroll with everyone.
:D

I do ok but I'm far from being a millionaire. For me, its about enjoying life and not being hog-tied down on a 40 hour a week job.
Lean Freedom is better than Fat Slavery

"Mindspin" claims to earn well in excess of $500K! ::)

For me:
Millionaire - yes
Mansion dwelling - I have nice places, but none I would call a "mansion". I will buy one though but for now I prefer apartments.
Island hopping - yes, regularly.
Private plane travelling - occasionally.
Fortune 500 owning - I have shares in many Fortune 500 companies - does that count?
Pornstar dating - slept with a few, not that I would call that "dating". Had a chance with Carmen Electra once, but nothing happened in the end.
Cage fighting - no way! I am not crazy. Would love to watch a live fight some time though...

oh brother ::)--this should get good

HAHAH- well, just answering the questions!
PS - I presume we are talking USD's? If so, I expect there are actually quite a number of millionaires on get big, but many might see no point stating there are.

Back in the 80's and 90's close and lived very very comfortable. If I wanted to do something or buy something I could. Traveled and had nice cars. Now starting all over like I was 17 again but with a great deal of experience. I would say XFactor and Alex23 are doing well as is Mindspin. At least those are the guys who seem to show they are doing quite well.

How can you get disablility and still have a job? Don't you pour coffee at IHOP or something?

Which brings me to a conundrum.
The company I work for was doing badly before the recession. Now it's really bad BUT they do take care of people when they are 'retrenched' (shitcanned).
I'm due about $100,000 if they have to cut my job bUT if they go bankrupt, all bets are off.
Obviously, the right thing to do is to do my best to bring in more business so we survive. On the other hand. calling the CEO and telling him he's a cunt would net me $100K.
What to do ?

Yes, indeed! He made his Getbig bones with the Bob Sly thread, and rather than resting on his laurels, he continues to deliver. Good man.

VINCE GOODRUM is a millionaire
Just to let you folks know that my annual income gross for last year was only $6,873........ :o
2008 wasn't very kind to me. Took a huge loss from all the changes on Ebay and Amazon as well as having distribution problems with supplements because Genesis Nutrition was sold. I paid for everything out of my own pocket rather than getting a credit line and took down all of the websites I had that wasn't bringing in any profit. Then I canceled my Ebay and Amazon store accounts and re-built the remaining stores converting them from OsCommerce to Cubecart.
This year is actually much better and I'll end up making around $20,000. Sadly, the extra business came from other companies going out of business due to overhead.

Thanks for being honest here Vince

Its one bad year out of 8 years of good business. I had a huge severance package from Alltel as well as plenty of savings in the bank. Along with that, I don't have any real bills as everything I have is pretty much paid for.
You have to realize that last year was the beginning of the recession and where all the foreclosures was happening. If people are losing their houses and moving to apartments then they're not going to be buying large gym equipment.
Overall, I would actually say it was a good thing because I had way too much overhead at the time with advertising fees, outsourcing receptionist services, network marketing websites (mymoneyislegal.com) , and etc. I was spending about $2000 a month on all of that and not even counting the warehouse facility. But the biggest thing was Ebay increasing fees resulting in them taking 25% right off the top of the product cost. Guy Grundy and Andreas Cahling ran into the same thing and they both stopped selling as well.
I cut all of the extra expenses, canceled my E-Bay account and store, sold off the network marketing websites and non-profiting fitness sites, integrated the core services onto one hosting network, and went back to answering my own phone calls. Now my overhead is only $80.00 dollars a month for additional services.
My business management teacher back in college always told me to look at business as a marathon rather than a sprint. If you're willing to make the sacrifices then you'll have longevity and you won't have to put up with 40 hour work weeks making someone else rich or ending up working for Jimmy Z dancing for guys or doing "web cam services"...chuckle.

Flogging a dead horse comes to mind.
One one hand, perseverance is a good thing. Taking some knocks & getting back up is a good thing. On the other hand, sometimes you just have to know when to walk away.
As for "Along with that, I don't have any real bills as everything I have is pretty much paid for. "
Does this mean you are sponging off living with your parents ?

That is actually pretty honest of you to admit all that rather than trying to be a pretend baller like most getbiggers

No, my car is paid for, monthly mortgage is less than 300 a month, and I don't have any credit card payments for dept stores, rims, etc.
After I turned 18 I went to the Army so its been awhile since I lived with my parents..err parent. I've had a job since I was 13 and I worked at Taco Bell for 4 years when I was in high school so I had all the money I needed saved up to move out.

Actually if I was in the market to buy fitness equipment I'd probably buy from Goodbum, why not support a getbigger.

Just signed a dealer agreement with Lifecore to carry their products. They have some pretty wicked products available right now for a great price including their adjustable dumbbell sets and exercise rowers.
I have those items available in the store and it gives me an opportunity to use the new video player in my store. Its hard to make a choice online of what equipment to get with just pictures so I'm working to put videos on all the major products for people to see. Very few businesses are doing what I'm doing but hopefully this will pay off

Vince, you, Johnynoname and Swede are the poorest people I
Heard about on the internet.
Very honest to talk about how incredibly poor you are(in the millionaires thread?).
Much respect.(I never thought I would say that to crazy queen Goodrum)
How can you mantain your high BF levels with no money for food?

ive just seen your products, you ask 919 dolars for a barbell with some weight ??? i can get the same barbell with better looking weights for 300 dollar

It's called drop shipping and yes there are many businesses doing it.

The total shipping weight for this item is 560 pounds which is why the price is high since I combine both product and shipping fees. Its equals about $1.64 per pound. Most people buy the machines from me and get their weights locally which is much cheaper anyway but some are willing to pay to have them all shipped together which is why I do sell weight plates. York Barbell has me beat on price but only by about $24.00. You'll find that the majority of Solid Grip Barbell Sets will be in the $800 - $1200 dollar range.
Of course, you can always get the standard old fashioned Champion Barbells for almost half the price and even less if you get them locally at a flea market or in the classified because honestly weights really never get old or worn out. That's what I did when I needed some weights. Just loaded them up in the car and drove off...... ;D

Some stuff I do ship direct from the manufacturer however some companies require me to make a quality purchase directly and don't offer dropshipping at all. Then some items are available for drop-shipping but I'll stock them instead because it save money in shipping and allows me to offer a more competitive price.
