All three of them make more than $150K per year. And much more than that. They all have cool wives, a family to take care of, and nice homes. You guys are not thinking right. These three have been the most vocal on the boards, the most recognized. Bob is with bb.com, Shawn is with Vyotech and MD, and Milos has his own gym and more. These three are businessmen.
You all forget that besides the contest prizes, which some get, the real money is in the endorsements with various companies, guest posings, advertising and other legal items, many bodybuilders do quite well, if you are in the top 30 rankings.
But does somebody go and ask you what you make? Does it make a difference? Respect is respect, and the ones that do well are the ones that are businessmen in this day and age and go for the endorsement deals, not the ones who assume that things will just come to them.
