Author Topic: natural bb star clark bartram and others? how do they survive? (Read 2418 times)

Tom · « **on:** January 27, 2009, 08:41:10 AM »

just curious as to how "natural"fitness bber stars like clark bartram for example survive and make a living specifically how much they make a year?

bartram for instance formerly co-hosted kiana' flex appeal back in the day and had his own show for a time, don't know how much he made on these shows?

besides m.o'hearn, bartram has probably appeared on more bb/fitness magazines than other natural stars, but i read somewhere that for a cover you would only get paid somewhere between 300.00 to 500.00 dollars?

on clarkbartram.com it says that

bartram has alot of "endorsement" deals such as with posing straps.com, weightvest.com, has a dea with the same brand of weightlifting belts and gloves that cutler has ( i doubt if his endorsement contract is 1/10) of what cutler is paid for.

is a media director for ISSA, co-owner of a upcoming fitness clothing line, and still appears occassionally on the cover of a mag...

just wondering though while it seems the guy is busier than hell and looks to be the most successful "natural" bber around without having to resort to going back to owning a gym, personal training or losing his rep doing those how should i say so called "lifestyle" dvd's that are made, how much does anyone think he makes a year?

over 6 figures or under? kind of tough if he's making under 100,000 year with all this stuff going on and living in cali supporting a wife and 2 kids.

Penn and Teller tore him a new one in their "Bullshit" show. It was bad but Clark has been a longtime model for people 40 and over

O'Hearn natural?

Curt I dont even think Mike Hearns hair is natural, lol.But he does use Oil of Ola,y it can help you look younger to.,lol
As far as Clark Bartram goes, he is a devout Christian, and a family man.I think he makes his money from training people, magazine covers, writing articles, and working booths at expos.Plus I think he gets paid for some of the modeling, he does.
I am sure he probably charges atleast $75 -$100 if not more per hour training people.I am sure he probably has atleast 4-6 people a day.He is a nice looking guy who comes off very genuine, so I bet most of his clients are good looking women

Seeing Clark Bartrams name got me on a roll

Clark has the busiest confessional in his parish's history. They only ask you wash your hands before you relieve yourself of sin.

LatsMcgee? sorry bud, but what did/do you mean in your posting? clark has the busiest confessional in his parish's history? and they only ask you to wash your hands before you relieve yourself of sin?

don't get it, i know i'm missing "something between the lines"

bartram from what i read is always said to be a very good cool dude" although to some he does across as a way too goody two shoe, something stuck up his butt, holier than thou attitude."

like i remember reading from somewhere "mitt romney character who works out" lol! oh brother!

kind of makes a person wonder if somehow can be that goody in the fitness/bb world? you know how it is usually the ones who are like this in any area of life (whether religious figure, political figure,etc) are the ones with the skeletons in the closet!
