Guys like Stan Efferding, Rich Gaspari, Jay Cutler and Branch Warren are doing pretty well.

Those whom made / making 7 figures:

Arnold, Cutler, Coleman, Yates, Labrada, Gaspari, Ferrigno, Ray... (yes, Branch as well - but he made it through his distribution business, not BB)

Wasn't he struggling to pay his medical bill back in the day when had to have a transplant?

Lou Ferrigno.

Doesn't he still charge children a tenner for taking a pic? Doesn't strike me like a the typical actions of someone well off let alone a multi-millionaire.

You' be surprised how money hungry some Millionaires are.

WoooSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Labrada is probably number two on that list

i know a gymr at bbuilder whpo earns abotu 50k usd monthly doesn that count

Lou Ferrigno doesn't have as much money as people think and he's definitely not making 7 figures a year....maybe about 50-75k at this point but he's a millionaire...maybe 3-4

Ronnie Coleman is a multi-millionaire....mostly from guest posing

Branch Warren makes in the high 6's but not a millionaire

Rich Gaspari is prob at 20 million

Flex Wheeler owes more than he makes.

Shawn Ray invested his money wisely to where it makes no difference. Gets a decent check from Blechman though

One person who should definitely be on the list is Gary Strydom. He made a ton of money from the WBF and was still getting paid after its demise because he was kept on to sell the ICOPRO supplements.

Stan Efferding

His money has nothing to do with bbing.

Skorp1o · « **Reply #19 on:** February 13, 2014, 07:18:40 AM »

I'm curious to know who made money facilitated by Bodybuilding as obviously bodybuilding alone doesn't generate the income to become a millionaire as such unlike top UFC fighters (although peanuts compared to boxing). Look at lance armstrong he was worth around 70mil before, all from cycling revenues, mostly from sponsorships and endorsements and then did talks on the side...etc.

To me, it seems money either came from becoming an entrepreneur using your name as a brand (supps company) or acting (only arnie in this case)

I know, he sold his telco, but the type of business wasn't limited to BB by the OP.

this is what i'm saying. everyone one on the list starts with bbing. stan entered bbing after the fact and came up with the bullshit "strongest" title.

Now I see. Well, then the list is limited by some huge supplement brand owners, gym chain owners and steroid dealers.
Most BBers fall in the last category

Ferrigno is only worth 1-2 million.
