Both Cutler and Coleman have made more than a million from PRIZE MONEY alone. You're WAAAAAAY off.
Really?
Can you show me some figures and adjust them for taxes deducted and expenses (costs of living, steroids, insurance) incurred?
What's the highest a Mr. Olympia winner walks away with? This year it was $200,000, but prior years it was much less.
After taxes, that amount dwindles down to about $140-150,000 (That's for the $200K figure, the prior years were much less after taxes).
Ronnie won 8 straight Mr. Olympias, now assuming he didn't spend a cent of his earnings after taxes ($150,000 at best), that would then leave him with roughly about $1,200,000 (Since prior Mr. Olympia wins weren't as high as this past year, that means he probably was more likely around $900,000-$1,200,000).
Considering the fact that he spent some of that money to purchase a home (say about $3-400,000) and about 3-4 cars (say $25-35,000 a piece totalling $100,000) that would then bring his actual take home income to about $4-500,000.
That's not a millionaire.
Yes, I am not taking their supplement contracts into account, but those are completely over-estimated with figures that are completely false.
