Dude appears to be doing very well in the BB industry. Looks like he is making a lot more money than the majority of the pros. He said a lot of his money comes from rental property? Who knows but, he looks like he is enjoy life, trains at Golds, drives nice cars and has hot blonde girlfriends. His look is not for me, but who am I to judge tools.

My prediction:

Flat broke in 5 years.

Dead in 10 years... or less.

Much less. Bah!

hahahaha... not sure if serious here.

What "industry" and what's his product? His image?

Icelord · « **Reply #80 on:** February 21, 2014, 10:07:30 PM »

He hasn't been involved in the profession of competitive bodybuilding in several years. At that time, he had few if any tattoos and looked human.

His "product" is...his bad boy image, I guess. The oiled up, grotesque muscles. The cars. The training videos on Youtube. He's a kind of white Kali. And up until recently, Mutant Mass products.

So he sels T-shirts then?

Yes, actually. All sorts of brand clothing. Not sure what his distribution capacity is, if it's his warehouse or he does business with a logistics company.

So they kicked out this "nonathlete" at last?

According to a mutual friend Rich owns eight real estate parcels with 6 bringing in rental income. His clothing and endorsement line plus some $50K per year in personal training earns him well over $150K per year. Not bad GBers, not bad. And Rich laughs a LOT. One happy dude.

That's a ten-year-old Bentley Arnage. They go for around $35K (or much less if Rich got it salvage, as Amy claimed all his cars were). I wouldn't buy one because the reliability is horrible and maintenance costs are ridiculous. They look nice and they impress the neighbors, though .

I thought the 6.75 OHV V8 was bullet proof. The parts might be expensive the the engine is dead simple.

Not sure who parted ways but I doubt he left by choice. He loved it with those guys.

I'm not saying it's a bad car, but it's British so there will be issues. Here is a review from a Bentley owner's website:

I recently bought an 2003 Arnage. The best info I got was from an indepedent shop I went to that specializes in Bentleys and RR's. He did a ppi on a 2000 that I was looking for and provided great info on them. Basically he said stay away from the 99-01s due to head gasket issues. If it hasnt had one done recently it will soon.
An updated twin turbo power plant was put in the 2002's that is more reliable and econimical (10mpg, lol). They eat batteries so put in dry cells and they suffer from suspension issues so make sure to get that checked out. Also have the turbos checked out for leaks in the waste gates. More so on the single turbo versions.

To answer your question the green label had the old bmw motor. The red label has the 6.75 bentley motor. The bmw is less powerful.

Broke in one year. Dead in five.

He seems like a nice person but all that flashing of goods is a sign of being poor.
No seriously rich person shows their goods - be it money, woman or nuclear weapons.

People forget you can basically live in debt and make monthly minimums

guy probably lives on a shoestring budget but rides around in an old Bentley
it's the so. cal baller on a budget lifestyle

150K is absolutely nothing here in LA. Semi-Comfortable middle class but far far from balling.

Surprised there isn't more comment here about Rich leaving Mutant. He was the face of their brand & it is a big break for a sponsored athlete, whether he competes or doesn't.

He is NOT an athlete and he has no real skill sets. Maybe 'Inked magazine' will hire him.
