natural "stars" income? how much?
« on: July 31, 2008, 11:07:04 AM »
as we all know only perhaps the top 5 percent of pros make a good living and in the case of the very top i.e jay cutler a pretty darn good living regardless if some have posted that jay's yearly income is either around the 400,000 to 500,000 range or closer to the 1 million dollar range. anyway....

what about successful "natural bb/fitness stars" for instance perhaps the 3 most famous being mike o'hearn, clark bartram, and bill davey for the past 10 plus years. wonder how much they make yearly? i've read that regardless of how many mag covers these 3 have been on that there is hardly any money in fitness modeling whether on the cover or between the pages. i think i read somewhere that for instance the most clark bartram ever got for a cover was $500. so what's their income and from what?

o'hearn: american gladiator, his couple of b-level movies,his mike o'hearn signature gyms a few around the country, his various tv appearances over the years, but that's his entire career. for instance this year, what american gladiator show and nothing else and what is that perhaps 2000.00 a show or so ? and in expensive southern cal?

bill davey: owns and runs a great gym in ft.myers,fla. and also still does personal training with a ton of clients ( heard he charges 100.00 for an hour?!) how much does an owner of a big gym make? i guess with his personal training he's doing pretty well?

clark bartram: kiana's flex appeal show host, american health and fitness show host in his past, etcetera. but now? modeling, and various spokesman for various health equipment and products, but how good of a living can he be making especially in pricey southern california?

any idea how well or how not well these 3 "natural" stars could be doing? salary wise in comparison to living in pricey southern cal and pricey florida?

personally i would think davey is probably making the most (around 6 figures) and with the cost of living cheaper in west coast florida then southern cal is living better than o'hearn and bartram.

I'm sure most pros would be well off if they didn't waste their money on fancy rims or eat steak 8 times a day

having a resume that read more than 'bouncer' would help too

as long as you can hit the gym and do new PR's from time to time what else is there?
