Why did you shortern your post? 
And I reside in the United States.
I wouldn't be jumping to insults regarding ethnicity. Aren't you some mut hybrid of 5 different ethnic backgrounds?
It's not about how much money you make. It's about making intelligent decisions in life. These bodybuilders use massive amounts of drugs and lie about fantasy lifestyles.
My point is that the avaerage joe shouldn't buy into any of this garbage. The reality of the competitive scene is something that's kept under wraps because they don't want people to find out how full of shit they really are.
Actually, I'm a mix of all races which means more than 5 ethnic backgrounds
As to your other opinion, let me tell you a little story. A few years ago, in the Olympics there was this journalist who went and asked about 80 or so different athletes from different sports the following question - "If I showed you a technique that would vault you to the top of your sport, but would kill you within a year from now, would you take it?"
Over 80% of them said Yes!
That's why others look up to them - cause they do what they have to do to get to where they want to be. They have a dream / passion and they have the balls to chase it. I'm not saying all bodybuilders are great - far from it
, although in general I've observed that bodybuilders are very intelligent people in one way
