Like it or not, true or false, anyone in business will tell you it's all marketing.

I guess. But he has good contracts, doesn't he? Maybe he just isn't as greedy as others and is happy with earning "only" a few million dollars.

I think there's only one reason as to why he threw the name Hydroxycut out there - they're his sponsor.

exactly my point. the guy seems pretty honest about most things, judging from his interview, but since he's not gonna say he used drugs, what else can he say? :) he knows who writes his cheques.

There is absolutely no way he comes remotely close to that number. MAYBE a half mil pre-taxed. Probably not even that much.

im sure dex is living very comfortably from areas outside of sponsorship and contest winnings.

so long as he is saving, investing and NOT pissing $ away to purvey some asinine lifestyle (precedent would tell you he is not doing this)

He could have said "Well Arnold, I'm a genetic freak and to be honest I don't have to work too hard for my condition - unlike some of the guys onstage today" and people would have thought a lot better of the guy.

His lack of ability to be forthcoming makes people think he's a tosser.  Which he probably isn't. 

Kudos to Arnold for doing a good interview.  A guy like Dexter is just about your worst interview candidate.
