They may have a low state tax, but I'm guessing the federal gov't will take their share.. It's income..
He'll probably get like 65K..

Correct.

Rule of thumb, whatever you make Uncle Sam gets a 1/3 of your earnings via taxes.

With a good CPA he could get away with taking a lot more than that, closer to 90k.

Depends where he lives.  I believe his residence is in NY so he'll pay state tax there and of course federal tax.  Now if he had steroids and GH prescriptions he could actually write it off as part of his job expense.  Same for other things.  With a smart accountant he can keep almost all of it

Yes, offhand, the the top 5 lose around a 1/4 to 1/3 of the prize money to federal taxes, 6 - 10 will lose about 15%, the rest about 10%.

Plus there are state and local that still will have to get deducted.

i would imagine BBers would be classed as self employed. so all outgoings and expenses will be deducted before he is taxed. self employed if you have a good accountant you will pay far less tax than someone earning the same but regularly employed.

If you could write off the prescriptions and food you could get that tax liability a lot lower. Can u do that for sure?

If you're a pro bodybuilder and can live anywhere, why in the world would you live in a state with state income tax?  To give away an extra 5-9% of your income?

 A lot of people can live anywhere but still live in states with income taxes??   Its all about quality of life, opportunity, etc.
