$130k is serious business. 

Kobe Bryant earns $350,000.   Per game.  For 81 games each year.

The muscle man who struts his stuff the right way, even if he is a total twink, gets as much as the 6th best overall bodybuilder.  :-\

every year (years when prize money is untouched), the prize money for the arnold and and the olympia are announced like it has reached new heights or it is a new 1st place award....

a few posts now about this years arnold....."arnold prize money ANNOUNCED!" posts that follow by board members (other than getbig lol) are usually, "wow! thats great" after thread starters like musclecenter decide to bold the first place prize like it is new or something  ::)

what is it? oh, same as previous years.

"hopefully people havent been paying attention"

isn't still less. i mean they did away with the hummer. what was the prize money with the hummer?
also its not much considering how much the whole event makes. the expo is like 10k for a table size spot i heard.
i know ppl will say bbing doesn't bring in the money blah blah blah but lets not forget bbing is where it all began

10.000 for the best poser is a lot. Place top 5-6 + best poser and you got decent cash to cover all the gh and gear expenses and even get some profit out of it.

Yes.

That's called capitalism and market economy, bro!
That's what pushes people forward. That's what motivates the winners to constantly accomplish more and more !

If you want something, you must be someone and know how to do something someone wants to pay for !!


Move to North Korea if you want that everyone earns the same, no matter if they perform better than everyone else. That's the idea behind communism.

First prize consists of a $130,000 check, a Hummer vehicle, and an Audemars Piguet watch I think.

Spinners must be won separately.

This is becoming ridiculous

What if you win the spinners but not the hummer
