Most Successful Bodybuilder after Arnold??...

[Captain Equipoise]

Has got to be Lee Labrada,  Labrada nutrition had revenues of over $20 million in 2004 and made the list of America's fastest growing 500 companies!!!..   compared to other burnt out pro losers that are working at gas stations or gym's.  Labrada probably makes more then all the current pro's combined.

If his revenues were truly $20 million then yes, he is rolling in it.

The Markeup on supps is absolutely ridiculous. Sometimes Packaging costs more than the caps inside the bottle

Can't forget Roland Kickinger, Son of the Beach and other independent film classics

I would also have to go along Lee Lambera and Ronald Kickinger being the most successfull bodybuildings after Arnold.

I bet Jeff Everson and Dan Lurie have done pretty well for themselves. Mike Mentzer, if he didn't breakdown would've done well for himself.

Gary Strydom owned CrazyWare, which I think did decently.

Pete Grymkowski owned a chunk of Golds gym.

Come to think of it a lot of the old timers did well for themselves- Joe Gold, Jack LaLanne, Steve Reeves, Vic Tanny, Harold Zinkin(Universal weight machines)  Walt Marcyan(Marcy equipment), etc.......

Be a bit more specific, when you define "successful".

Competitively?
Commericially?
Finanically?
Within Bodybuilding?
Outside Bodybuilding?

yes, good pt. If you want to talk about just in bodybuilding, you would have to consider guys like Jay or Chic.

What about Rich Gaspari?  I would think that Gaspari Nutrition is bigger than Labrada nutrition.

LOL, Gaspari nutrition is maybe 1/1000th the size of Labrada nutrition, both in terms of sales and size..
I've been to a lot of gyms around the world, most gym juice bar's stock two types of shakes: 1) Met-Rx  2) Labrada  , I had a hard time finding Gaspari products (which I love) in the States.
