Ferrigno is only worth 1-2 million.
Bullshit! Where do they get these numbers? Pure speculation!

LOL, you idiot

You've seen his Texas range? He's def loaded with his cargo company.


When the Arabs are paying 100-150k a pop for Ronnie to appear, then it adds up.  Ronnie made a killing in those foreign countries.

As far as Branch's house is concerned....its all about location and large houses are the norm in Texas and can be bought for a very reasonable price.  He likely spent no more than 350k on it

Was Ronnie invited more than 10 times? Guess not. His supp company isn't a success, so he might end poorly, just like Flex.
Regarding Branch, I don't know the exact living standard in Texas, but I guess not everyone there has a huge range.

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 posingBranch 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. 

Dude you really are a moron....most TOP pro's including Cutler, Coleman and HEath have said IN PERSON they make between 3k and 5k for a guest posing appearance, they get comped a room and a rental car from most promoters.  I guess they do 200 appearances a year... ::)

Labourers are cheap in texas....they have lots of mexicans grafting for minimum wage. add to that not so expensive land and I can see how you can achieve this, may be 350 is a stretch but could be not far off

Foreigners pay a lot more but you need to realize that if Cutler, Coleman, Heath really admitted the exact amount they were making, then they would have pay the government about 50% in taxes.....that's why they claim that 3-5k bullshit.  In addition, not all compensation is of monetary value.  Why do you think that Ronnie traveled overseas for almost 3 years straight guest posing for???   They pay more and its more easier to hide that money from the U.S government to avoid taxes

And yes, Arabs will pay bodybuilders in the 6 figures because when you have billions of dollars, an amount like that is just chump change.  That's why you see all of these pros going to these Arab countries.  They drop in, get treated like royalty, make a cool stash, and then stash it away in a foreign account...tax free.  Then they'll claim that they only made 3k or some bullshit amount

You're the one that's boneheaded enough to believe that....guess you also believe that they don't take steroids neither.   ;D

No needs for bodyguards in Perth  ;), only 1 couple booked 1 on 1 lunch.
Arnolds on camera comment was: every one  here is so big (miners)

Gaspari sold the supplement business for $150 million.

I assume he owned a decent % of that and then it all comes to whether there was much debt with the business.

He is certainly one of the most successful bodybuilders of all time to make money related to bodybuilding.

Tony Little is I believe the highest paid ex bodybuilder currently.

Joe Weider not as wealthy as presumed:




http://www.tmz.com/2013/09/10/joe-weider-will-estate/



Who could possibly be upset at amassing a $35 million fortune in their lifetime? Bodybuilding icon Joe Weider ... 'cause he should be worth WAYYYYY more than that.

TMZ has obtained Weider's will -- filed with the court after he passed away in March at the age of 93. According to the docs, Weider's estate was worth $35 mil.

So, why is the $35 million smackeroos a bit of a disappointment?? Allow us to explain:

First, Weider was the undisputed KING of bodybuilding for more than 50 years and slapped his name on everything from dumbbells to workout gloves. Cha-ching.

Next ... Weider not only co-founded the Mr. Olympia contest, he launched multiple uber-successful fitness magazines including Muscle & Fitness, Shape and Men's Fitness. Cha-Ching.

But the biggest reason we're shocked at the number -- Joe founded Weider Nutrition in 1936 (which many consider the first sports nutrition company) ... which later became Schiff Nutrition International ... which was bought out by a German food company in 2012 for $1.4 BILLION!

CHA-CHIIIIIINNNNNGGGGG!!!!

Problem is ... judging from his will, it appears Joe may have gotten rid of his ownership in the company before it blew up ... and in his final days, he was forced to live on his meager $35 million.

Sad ...
