Checked out his wikipedia page and apparently he was the highest paid actor in Europe, which is slightly different. The European film industry was known for being really low budget back then.
Still he was worldwide recognized as being an actor.

Walter Marcyan was another that did well, starting up Marcy Gym equipment. Marvin Eder had a good plumbing company. Bob Gadja did well with gyms and his medical practice. A lot of the older guys did o.k. for themselves from a livelihood stand point, probably because it was more expect of you to make something of yourself in general back then.

Most of Gaspari's reported fortune comes from his supplement line, it seems. In my opening post, I said I was wondering if there were any who were accomplished away from bodybuilding related activities.

Good point. The problem is most guys today only try to make it in the "fitness industry".
Guys from Arnold's era realized that the biggest career advance was going to be made OUTSIDE of bodybuilding.
