I think branch warren is rich
has his own haulage company or something
-
Guys like Stan Efferding, Rich Gaspari, Jay Cutler and Branch Warren are doing pretty well.
-
Those whom made / making 7 figures:
Arnold, Cutler, Coleman, Yates, Labrada, Gaspari, Ferrigno, Ray... (yes, Branch as well - but he made it through his distribution business, not BB)

Dennis James and Dennis Wolf are multi-millionaires as well.
Flex Wheeler too according to his autobiography.

Wasn't he struggling to pay his medical bill back in the day when had to have a transplant?

Lou Ferrigno.
Doesn't he still charge children a tenner for taking a pic? Doesn't strike me like a the typical actions of someone well off let alone a multi-millionaire.

You' be surprised how money hungry some Millionaires are.
WoooSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHH
-
Labrada is probably number two on that list
-
i know a gymr at bbuilder whpo earns abotu 50k usd monthly doesn that count
-
Lou Ferrigno doesn't have as much money as people think and he's definitely not making 7 figures a year....maybe about 50-75k at this point but he's a millionaire...maybe 3-4
Ronnie Coleman is a multi-millionaire....mostly from guest posing
Branch Warren makes in the high 6's but not a millionaire
Rich Gaspari is prob at 20 million
Flex Wheeler owes more than he makes.
Shawn Ray invested his money wisely to where it makes no difference. Gets a decent check from Blechman though
One person who should definitely be on the list is Gary Strydom. He made a ton of money from the WBF and was still getting paid after its demise because he was kept on to sell the ICOPRO supplements.

We need his full name, business activity and exact location :D
-

LOL, you idiot

You've seen his Texas range? He's def loaded with his cargo company.
-
Stan Efferding
His money has nothing to do with bbing.
-
I'm curious to know who made money facilitated by Bodybuilding as obviously bodybuilding alone doesn't generate the income to become a millionaire as such unlike top UFC fighters (although peanuts compared to boxing). Look at lance armstrong he was worth around 70mil before, all from cycling revenues, mostly from sponsorships and endorsements and then did talks on the side...etc.
To me, it seems money either came from becoming an entrepreneur using your name as a brand (supps company) or acting (only arnie in this case)
-

I know, he sold his telco, but the type of business wasn't limited to BB by the OP.

this is what i'm saying. everyone one on the list starts with bbing. stan entered bbing after the fact and came up with the bullshit "strongest" title.
-
gary strydom and dean tornabene

Now I see. Well, then the list is limited by some huge supplement brand owners, gym chain owners and steroid dealers.
Most BBers fall in the last category ;D

Ferrigno is only worth 1-2 million.

Bullshit! Where do they get these numbers? Pure speculation!

When the Arabs are paying 100-150k a pop for Ronnie to appear, then it adds up. Ronnie made a killing in those foreign countries.
As far as Branch's house is concerned....its all about location and large houses are the norm in Texas and can be bought for a very reasonable price. He likely spent no more than 350k on it

Was Ronnie invited more than 10 times? Guess not. His supp company isn't a success, so he might end poorly, just like Flex.
Regarding Branch, I don't know the exact living standard in Texas, but I guess not everyone there has a huge range.

Dude you really are a moron....most TOP pro's including Cutler, Coleman and HEath have said IN PERSON they make between 3k and 5k for a guest posing appearance, they get comped a room and a rental car from most promoters. I guess they do 200 appearances a year... ::)

Labourers are cheap in texas....they have lots of mexicans grafting for minimum wage. add to that not so expensive land and I can see how you can achieve this, may be 350 is a stretch but could be not far off

Foreigners pay a lot more but you need to realize that if Cutler, Coleman, Heath really admitted the exact amount they were making, then they would have pay the government about 50% in taxes.....that's why they claim that 3-5k bullshit. In addition, not all compensation is of monetary value. Why do you think that Ronnie traveled overseas for almost 3 years straight guest posing for??? They pay more and its more easier to hide that money from the U.S government to avoid taxes
And yes, Arabs will pay bodybuilders in the 6 figures because when you have billions of dollars, an amount like that is just chump change. That's why you see all of these pros going to these Arab countries. They drop in, get treated like royalty, make a cool stash, and then stash it away in a foreign account...tax free. Then they'll claim that they only made 3k or some bullshit amount
You're the one that's boneheaded enough to believe that....guess you also believe that they don't take steroids neither. ;D

Arnold's 'business' tour of Australia 2013:
-private lunch with Her A.S. was $ 20 000
-nobody would pay for guest posing more than $ 5OOO

That includes Ralf Mollars expenses.

Flex Wheeler too according to his autobiography.
mmm no. Ken lives in a 2200 sqft house in Gilroy, CA. Stable but sober life.
-

No needs for bodyguards in Perth ;), only 1 couple booked 1 on 1 lunch.
Arnolds on camera comment was: every one here is so big (miners)
-
Gaspari sold the supplement business for $150 million.
I assume he owned a decent % of that and then it all comes to whether there was much debt with the business.
He is certainly one of the most successful bodybuilders of all time to make money related to bodybuilding.
Tony Little is I believe the highest paid ex bodybuilder currently.

Joe Weider not as wealthy as presumed:
http://www.tmz.com/2013/09/10/joe-weider-will-estate/ (http://www.tmz.com/2013/09/10/joe-weider-will-estate/)
Who could possibly be upset at amassing a $35 million fortune in their lifetime? Bodybuilding icon Joe Weider ... 'cause he should be worth WAYYYYY more than that.
TMZ has obtained Weider's will -- filed with the court after he passed away in March at the age of 93. According to the docs, Weider's estate was worth $35 mil.
So, why is the $35 million smackeroos a bit of a disappointment?? Allow us to explain:
First, Weider was the undisputed KING of bodybuilding for more than 50 years and slapped his name on everything from dumbbells to workout gloves. Cha-ching.
Next ... Weider not only co-founded the Mr. Olympia contest, he launched multiple uber-successful fitness magazines including Muscle & Fitness, Shape and Men's Fitness. Cha-Ching.
But the biggest reason we're shocked at the number -- Joe founded Weider Nutrition in 1936 (which many consider the first sports nutrition company) ... which later became Schiff Nutrition International ... which was bought out by a German food company in 2012 for $1.4 BILLION!
CHA-CHIIIIIINNNNNGGGGG!!!!
Problem is ... judging from his will, it appears Joe may have gotten rid of his ownership in the company before it blew up ... and in his final days, he was forced to live on his meager $35 million.
Sad ...

No shit. These clowns claiming 350k don"t have a clue about property value.

you dont get taxed on olympic earnings because you serve your country
Stupid Leopold, Mr.Olympia is NOT an I.O.C. event ::)
-
Ferrigno is only worth 1-2 million.
Lou's prob worth a lot less
He's a B grade celebrity who has to do the comic convention/toy/B grade sci fi movie circuit to pay the bills
if he was a millionaire he wouldnt have to do this
-
Bob Chickey chickey boom boom
-
Rich Gaspari. Has to have a few million due to his supplement line.

Ronnie never traveled for 3 years straight you damn idiot....
I suppose you're their accountants as well so you know how much in tax they filed???
Ok Vince......here we go.. "sigh" i have eaten dinner along with numerous other TN judges and competitors with Branch, Johnnie, Dex when they guest posed at the TN venues and they have ALL said people that think these guys make a fortune are just simply stupid (like yourself) the biggest amount of money Ronnie EVER made going oveseas was said OUT OF RONNIE'S mouth to Dexter to have been be 25k. I dont understand where you get these numbers unless its out of a magazine along with their workouts that they say they do also??? You simply need to not go any further here because you have simply NO FUCKING idea what you're talking about.......just keep grabbing make believe numbers out of the sky, kinda like your profit of bee pollen...
