And wasn't Ben Weider a billionaire? Lee Labrada is at min/ of 50 million...This must have been written by one of Jay Cutler's buddies...How about that strong dude who's a pro bodybuilder but sold his IT business for over 100 million? The guy who gives money to Flex Wheeler...

Cutler $30 million - Bullshit.

Yeah you are right.This number came up couple of years ago and was referred to Jay the football player in the beginning and then somehow it was corrected to represent Jay the bodybuilder.Also some figures estimate Arnolds wealth at about 700 mil.

Joe was BB, competed at NABA Mr.Universe  ;) + stole R.Robinsons body  ;D

Joe Weider entered the 1951 NABBA Universe at the last minute, posing in trowsers!  Though he had never competed in a previous contest to qualify for the Universe. That he was awarded 6th place (out of 6 places awarded) was considered quite suspect at the time

Others that probably should be on that list include Pete Grymkowski, Steve Reeves, Lou Ferrigno.

From that he declared himself in all future press clippings as a "Mr. Universe Finalist" no doubt.

Ha, that's even worse than the 1981 Olympia or Basile's 1970 win.

Cutler $30 million - Bullshit.

Joe Weider sold just his publishing for $350 million to AMI

Need THE BEEF go on.

THE BEEF

Quoted for truth. I don't believe those figures for a second. Does anyone believe Jay and Ronnie have that much coin?  Give me a break.

Weider was not a bodybuilder, and while his estate was worth only $35 million when he died, it's because he gave (or transferred) the rest away before he died.

And how is Gaspari worth $90 million when Gaspari Nutrution was auctioned off in Chapter 11 bankruptcy.  He got nothing from the sale.

And adding to Gaspari's losses was his divorce and Weider gave up interest in Weider Nutrition before it sold for 1.4 billion. Who knows what Jay's divorce cost him and Arnold lost about 100M in his divorce (combined net with Maria of about 400M).  

The figures for Jay and Ronnie are simply not credible.

Joe was sharp. All his physical holdings ( real estate ) were in Betty's name. Must be some tax / estate benefit. Joe had a million in Remmingtons in his office, got to say Joe was worth hundreds of millions.
