Arnold and Joe Weider- KING SCHMOES

[6 Reps]

yep...300 million

I think that was just for the magazine business.  I am almost certain the family kept the nutrition/supplement business.

Is that supplement part of the business still going???.......Joe's supplement and nutrition products were absolutely terrible..I don't really see them at all in the stores anymore

It is impressive how the Weiders turned their sexual fetish into such a large and profitable industry.

Or Joe Weider was simply a closet gay. The Burt Reynolds character in Boogie Nights is similar to Joe Weider in that there is an odd asexuality in the context of a highly sexualized business. They even look alike :-).
