Salary of the Pro's
« on: January 20, 2007, 04:54:43 PM »
How much do you reckon Jay, Dexter, Victor and Ronnie would earn a year??

What about someone at the other end of the scale, like Jaroslav Horvath, Tommi Thorvildsen, Kris Dim, or Will Harris?

Just guesses, but based on some facts and some math:


Mr O and the number two guy prolly do $500k/year or so all total.

Half a dozen others are probably in the $200k or so range.

Maybe 8 or 10 more "make a living" between $50k - $100k.

Everyone else is losing money, and if they don't have a real job are probably sucking dick and/or dealing drugs to make ends meet.


And whatever you do, don't believe these guys when they self-report their income...  of course they want you to think they're making millions. You really think they want to admit that as a top-20 "professional athlete" they're bringing home less than your typical McDonald's manager?

A few years back, a standard Weider contract meant $50 000. Measly, when you consider that it made those guys exclusive to those mags. Günter, Ronnie and a few more got a bit more.



BTW, Funny you mentioned "World" Harris.

He's known to hang around different kind of expo's, and not just bodybuilding ones, but goth and alike..

He's got some gay vampire thing going or something, not really sure what it all boils down to, perhaps Cicherillo or MADMAX has the 411 on what exactly World Harris does with that undead thing?  ???

It doesn't take a genius to figure out that guys who doesn't have a high-paid job and doesn't have big contracts, needs to find... alternative ways to make ends meet in the industry.

I just look at Cicherillo, and I'm very happy for his sake - the guy got out in time, he found a niche, something he could excell in for many years to come.

"schmoeconomics"

The basic schmoeconomy is sizable and it's safe to say that it's probably growing. 

There's also 'high schmociety', where top physique models can pick up an easy $10,000-15,000/month, cash. 

And that's just from a single 'sponsor'...

Not asking for names, Tre...

But how many top physique models would you guesstimate are going all the way, ie offering sexual intercourse to their schmoe customers?

Just give us a rough estimate.

Thanks bro.

My guesses factored in: prize money(which is only substantial for the top 3 or so guys in the sport ), publishing contract (the "50k standard weider" you mention, although some are with MD or musclemag), supplement contract, guest posings, and misc. (video sales, smaller endorsements, etc).

Yep.  As much as that stuff is no fun, it will get worse in weeks 2 and 3 when you may have to *fix* the constipation issue.  I strongly recommend Gentlease by Enfamil for that, should you face it.  Does cause a bit more gas, but very good for digestion.



(This is where I would typically make the joke about "being an Ifbb pro, I assure you're already pretty familiar with anal suppositories, but the "being a dad stuff" is so disarming that I am not going there!).   :)
