Aaron Singerman was paid 100k a year from Dave Palumbo..and then they say Palumbo was cheap...heard it on radio show of aaron!

100K is not a lot of money, especially in New York City.

Making 100K sets you up for a 33% (Federal (25%) + State (8%)) tax rate.

So, Aaron was walking away with around 65K after taxes. The guy had a home to maintain, utility costs, a car and children. So, lets say he was taking home $5,400 a month or so. After you deduct the cost of rent alone (for a family his size, I presume anywhere around $2500-$3000/month), you are left with $2500-$3000. Throw in all the utility costs + the cost of food for the home, you easily have another $1500-$2000 gone. The guy is then left with a measly $500-$1000 a month, if he is lucky. Then, he had a car to maintain. Just in tolls, gas and car payments alone, all of his money would have been gone.

So, like I said, 100K goes nowhere in NYC.

It's all relative, 73,000 Euro would be a sweet income in most European countries, esp for doing what you love to do..

As I've explained it before...Aaron was not exactly making as much as people think.  From that money, he had to pay all of his expenses from that amount for travel, hotel, meals, equipment, etc which ate up a ton of that money....not to mention that it was not for that long.  However he made a great deal of money being a spokesman for IronMagLabs and Envizion Medical.  For a number of years, Aaron was so broke that he and Darielle could barely pay for their apartment rent which was just 600 bucks.


However, he invested his money very wisely buying Blackstone Labs, starting Prime Nutrition, and importing products from Platinum Labs and he now makes way more money than he ever has made before.  The Prime Nutrition was a very big surprise and I honestly have to say that the overall design and implementation is simple and effective.

I can't complain because I made a little money from it as well as a ton of other people which allowed me to rebuild my Anabolic Mayhem website and buy professional studio equipment.  Aaron is basically the Ron Avidan of the supplement industry....always 3 steps ahead of everyone else

Yep....there is a shitload of "under the table" money in the bodybuilding industry....that's how most of this shit works to begin with.  The diets are the biggest joke....I mean, if you're using clen, T3, and growth hormone, you can practically eat cookie dough and still get ripped.  The money for those plans are more of a "membership program" to suppliers of steroids and they get a cut of that as well all tax free.

I take home a lot less that these guys but I pay my taxes because there's no way for me to hide my income....but you can bet that they are claiming a lot less on their income than me and take advantage of it to get stuff like food stamps and government assistance

So, like I said, 100K goes nowhere in NYC.
It all depends on your overheads. You listed a number of things that qualify as obligatory expenditures on a monthly basis but could be adjusted based on choice. He could've simply bought a condo in one of the less expensive boroughs, driven a cheaper but still-new car, and spent less money on trips and clothing. If 100k isn't enough - whether in NYC, London, or LA - you're living outside your means. Bodybuilders aren't business magnates. They're average guys with a lot of muscle and associated sponsorships. They need to live accordingly. A lot of people in America are having to cut back on everything from medication to food to water use to break even. I don't see why this guy should be paid more because he doesn't want to follow that trend.

You need to limit your dicktrap occupancy and focus on relativity.

No one care about your economic environment personal projections. 100k goes a long way in 95% of this great land we call 'Murica.

Question isn't about Aaron's affordability but instead what did he "do" to justify it.

Narrower vision than a gofer looking for a 29g needle 10feet underground.
