Just because you win doesn't mean anyone will use you to sell there snake oils they go with anyone who has a good reputation

Only if you are smart.

I'd say you'd be well on your way so long as you don't go out and start raping.

Just one win?
No.

I see what you did there... 😁

One win?? Nah... Years worth of food, drugs and coach and only win 400K After taxes, expenses, walk away w/ not much.
Even Heath has to steal and pawn jewelry after all his wins. Sponsorships aren't very good these days.
-
Set for life... yes.... but ... only if you train at Oxygen in Kuwait
-
Only if you are smart.
You wouldn't be doing all those drugs in the the first place if you were smart! So the answer is no.

Who cares about the money. If you win the O you're in the history books has having won the greatest prize in the whole world

So just let the “athletes” starve... and let the IFBB pocket all the sponsorship money?

Winning the Olympia title ranks in prestige right up there with winning best blueberry pie in the county fair

Yeah, Mr.Vince G. could invest your $$$ & you'll have a very happy life ........................

Larry Scott won two and only got $1000 and a crown.
Arnold Schwarzenegger May be the only multiple winner to see his pay to DOWN. One year his cash prize went from $1000 to $750, I think.

I think Jay Cutler is doing pretty well for himself.
-
i thought jay said the difference between winning and 2nd place was huge because having the olympia win on your resume would drastically increase the amount of appearances you would receive plus the amount you would be paid for those appearances
the check they receive from winning alone could be invested wisely and pay them for the rest of their lives

That works.

If you've made it to the Olympia chances are you've already won a few shows, established a name for yourself, secured sponsors and have made WISE INVESTMENTS. Winning an Olympia can only further this. Winning at an older age such as Shawn or Dexter only enhances the wealth. My guess is that if you're a top 6 Olympian, you're set

A smart investor could use 400k tax free and set themselves up for life - would still need at least some part time work most likely, but it could work depending on your location. If you live somewhere that houses can be purchased for $100k, for example. Buy yourself a small one to live in, buy another one to rent. Maybe rent a room in your place for a while. After a few years buy another rental house. Within 10 years you would have 4-5 rental homes and your own house, all paid off, with enough income to pay all your bills and slowly build up savings.
-
What is the Olympia prize? 200K? Maybe another 400K in endorsements. If you're active maybe for five year you can make during that time maybe 3 million. Really 1.5 after taxes. First you buy the million dollar house with with money with a mortgage. Buy 300K in cars. Buy Mom a 200K house. After 5 years there is no more prize money. Endorsement deals are going to the new it guy. Without money coming in the million dollar house goes because it has a mortgage and outrageous taxes. You move in with Mom. The cars have to go. Now you realize you're not set for life. Suddenly you realize the California fire man in the gym is making 100K plus a year. Every ten years he made a million but he can't splurge it because it's doled out a 100K a year. The Olympia is now broke while the Fireman is just fine.

Haha ain't this the truth. Oldtimer1 you are great at this 'In Reality what really happens' stuff...

He's a rare breed and its his smart real estate and other investments.
If he was still some BB thong warrior hitting the dais and pumping his guns only, he'd also be broke. Smart man.
-
probably not
dependsw on your cost of living and how spendy you are I guess
-
Anybody that thinks you can win $400k and be set for life is an idiot, or Vince Goodrum. Not saying he’s an idiot, just that he’s thrifty. These dudes are used to flash and shit, so $400k ain’t doing it.
-
Coleman won how many? isnt he broke? its alll lifestyle choices.
jay cutler seems to be doing well

Having a mortgage is the big problem. When you have a lump sum of cash that you may never repeat you should buy the house cash with enough saved to pay the taxes and insurance for the next 30 years.

Why? Mortgage rates are less than expected ROI on most market index funds. You'd be losing money by paying cash

you don't need to win it , as long as you're good enough to compete in it you're set, the Supp industry is where the serious income is, by using a legitimate business as a front for sale of drugs..... and not getting caught of course .
WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
-
This was the main reason I didn't "take it to the next level" in terms of drug use to try to win this show.
-

True for most people but those athletes aren't investing in index funds they are investing in cars, jewelry and child support for baby momma's. For a person who makes one lump sum of cash that may be all they ever make putting money in the market is risky because a crash would cause them to lose their nest egg. Buying a house cash is as much insurance to make sure they have a house for the rest of their lives more than anything else. For people who have careers that last past age 35 it's different.

no they used it on real estate investments or they started a successful business

Depends on the persons spending habits and where they live. 400k here in north east England you could buy a nice house to live in for about 150k, then buy 5 houses in poorer areas for 50k each that would rent out for 500 a month. No mortgage and 2500 a month you could live like a king here and never work again
Down London you wouldn’t get a flat for 400k

And you'd be better off boarding the flight with your posers rather than your earnings ;D

Hardly think he’s broke. I think I read on something like celebrity net worth (I think) he’s worth like $10mil. Despite popular belief he’s no dummy. Didn’t he graduate college with an accounting degree? Plus whatever he gets from the Sheriffs department?
-

Real estate will cash flow what 6-7% pretax? You could say they could stick it in the next amazon but that's not reality. Winning $400K pretax prize money in your 30's doesn't set you up for life. Certainly helps though.
-
A win won't necessarily equate into financial success. I mean, look at Heath. He won multiple times and for the last one I believe he didn't even have a sponsor. If that is correct, he has to be the first Mr O ever to not have a sponsorship while defending his title. Which speaks volumes for his character.
But you could realistically place in the top 5 a few times and invest wisely and do better than someone that wins it year after year and blows it.

How much do they spend in a year on drugs, food, coaches, etc?

Food and coaches are pretty expensive. Drugs, not so much. After all, they are only the finishing touch.
-

No idea, but with this being their "job", they qualify to write off things like food, travel, gym memberships, supps (but not drugs, obviously), chiropractors, clothes, gurus etc..... I mean the smart ones do.
-
Chicken breast and basmati rice are expensive.
You can go broke easily eating it six times a day.
And all those veggies?
Fo-gedda-bou-dit.

probably a lot because they spend anything from 200-500 USD on hgh alone, every day what I have read anyways
I have no idea how they are able to finance this. But thats what that cost

I gotta think that if you're a top, top bodybuilder (top 3-5) you're not gonna pay for your coach--aside from maybe a cut of the winnings. Just the name recognition and clout that comes from a coach being able to say "yeah i coach Phil Heath/Ramy/Dexter etc" has gotta be worth 10s of thousands.
Drugs I would expect they largely get for free, for the same reasoning. A juice dealer supplying a Mr O contender is big name recognition. Maybe not pharm grade GH though

But the cut the coach gets is money out of pocket just after the contest not before. No way a drug dealer gives free drugs for name recognition. The last thing in the world a drug dealer wants is recognition.
