Joe Weiders Net Worth

[Skorp1o]

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!

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.

Muscular oiled up men coming in various outfits have cost him almost as much as it earned him.

I'm quite certain most of his money was divided up between his next of kin long long before he died. You honestly think a guy in his 90's was holding on to a big stack of cash.

I believe Ben Weider was worth 1 billion.

[SOMEPARTS]

Joe could barely walk for a decade. It was no surprise he was going to die before Ben. They moved money around as anybody would.

I read in many papers he sold his publishing company for 300 million. Where did that money go?

probably hid a good deal of his wealth that joe was no schmoe[ at least when it came to money]

[Icelord]

king shmoe
half the guys in this pic are dead or sick, and he never paid them a visit or sent them a postcard, let alone helped defray their medical costs
even though they pushed his products and made him millions
fuckin goombah scam artist
glad he's worm bait
though from the sounds of it, he cheaped his relatives out too by hiding his real stash in Swiss bank accounts

[jodsy]

schmoeing aint as cheap as it used to be

[BB]

I also wonder about charitable donations before death, and such. Before he died, he was loosening the purse strings a bit, gave a few million to start the Joe and Betty Weider museum in the Stark Center at the University of Texas, etc.... Betty probably has a good bit under her name too.

[OneMoreRep]

Joe made a difference in the world of bodybuilding.

Lol that pic is creepy. Kinda like molested children in a school photo with their perpetrator as teacher. You can see their pain, fear and hatred towards their common abuser.

Hate to be the messenger but Ben died 6 years ago

Almost as creepy as this one.

It's like he secretly knew the guy would end up in the hospital ward with clogged arteries and kept pushing him to get freakier in order to sell more posters.
