My reasoning provides much stronger evidence that he has money than some pics suggest that he may not. No one has yet answered my few simple questions - a) estimate how much money Nasser spends to maintain his current lifestyle and size, and b) since he does not work, how much would he need to invest to get a return sufficient to cover the amount in "a"?
In 5-10 years when you guys see Nasser still has not had to work, yet he is living a decent life in San Diego and is still large will you then not realize that he could not have been broke all this time? When people are broke they down-grade, they move to cities that are cheap to live in, they look for a job, and lose size (if they're a bodybuilder because they dont want to spend as much on food and drugs). Nasser has not done any of these.
Also, from what I recall Nasser started offering his worn clothing as sports memorabilia while he still had a Weider contract, so he obviously wasn't doing it for the money, but to offer his fans something more personal than most bodybuilders do.
So if he didnt need the money he could have given them away for free. He wants to offer fans something more personal huh? Fans or queer zealots? Does Coleman or yates offer their worn clothing as well?
As for nasser being able to afford his lifestyle -
Sugar daddy - plenty of bodybuilders who never even made the pros hook up with a sugar daddy and have stayed with them for years in exchange for favors that most times arent even sexual. nasser has been in the business long enough to have netted a sponsor. Being a muslim bodybuilder would have gotten him a sheikh or two who would have sponsored him/set him up for life. He wouldnt be the only one.
He could be a dealer in gear. he's still on it and as been around to hook up with reliable sources. Being smart he can stay at home for life by dealing carefully and quietly.
Nevertheless, these are speculations just like you making estimates on how he could afford his lifestyle, which beyond his drug use, ain't really much. The bottom line is he is clearly not broke but he's not living a rockstar life either. He probably is just doing a little better than breaking even but that would be about it. If you think he's a multi millionaire or want to make outlandish claims like he could buy this entire forum you're drinking too much Nasser kool-aid. So far all you've said is "I estimate", "I think", etc and yet you claim to know for a FACT that Nasser is a millionaire by running some numbers that can be applied to just about anyone. I know enough about accounting to know that you can change anyones's bottom line by manipulating a few lines here and there. Several companies (Enron) have manipulated the figures to make themselves look more profitable while they were making massive losses. So running estimates on Nassers lifestyle dont impress me unless I see solid facts. So far the only solid facts from your end is -redirect/deny etc. If Nasser was doing that well Flex or another mag would have done a story on it, especially since they're trying to promote the "good life" that comes with BB
Are you Nassers accountant?
I remember when Mike Quinn was bragging about his fantastic lifestyle with women, Clothing line and how his investments had set him up for life. All the bodybuilding mags ran his interviews portraying him as someone who was set up for life thanks to his foresight. Fast forward a few years later after his "retirement" and he's back to his job as a bouncer. I wonder what happened to all his investments. A lot of bodybuilder past and present, like to portray that outward image of being successful while they're just barely making ends meet. Bodybuilding and the life that comes with it is about maintaining that illusion.
