Bob, this shouldn't be hard to figure..how many shows did Nasser place top 5 in and what were the prize money? Basically I am trying to figure out Nasser's career earnings.
also how much would estimate his total supplement contracts to be?
I never asked him, but I can estimate.
If you dig enough you can probably recalculate his career earnings because his placings are all published and the prize money for those contests are not kept secret either. He was probably averaging 100-150k per year in prize money for 6 years (95 to 2000) if you include the Arnold Classics and European Expo shows after the Mr. Olympia.
Not sure how much his Weider contract would be - 100k'ish per year?
He made lots of money on appearances, had about 50 per year, and at each appearance would sell a few thousand dollars in merchandise, so about 250k per year from appearances. He also kept making regular appearances for many years after 2000.
About 50k per year from his website merchandise.
About $1 to $1.5 million in appreciation of his very large house which was posted before here (I think he bought it in 96 and sold it in 2005, and in 2008 after the housing market values dropped it was still estimated at a value of $2.4 million).
He also invested his money throughout the years and has been getting returns on those.
All in all enough to live comfortably now and not have to worry about working ever again, and still enough to travel, go out often, and maintain 300 lbs with abs
