I was reading this earlier today:
https://www.thebignewsletter.com/p/the-number-go-up-rule-why-americaThe average American billionaire is a boomer in his early 60s. Donald Trump is a boomer, most of his key advisors are boomers, so is Democratic Senate chief Chuck Schumer. Key business leaders - like Apple CEO Tim Cook and JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon - are boomers, as are most CEOs of Hollywood studios, who have traditionally skewed younger. The average S&P 500 CEO is in his late 50s, and the number of young people serving on corporate boards keeps going down.
Bodybuilders, too, are getting older.
Twenty years ago, 40 was
old for a bodybuilder, and competing past 50 was basically unheard-of. (There are outliers like Beckles, but they don't really count.) Today, the average bodybuilder is probably over 40, the reigning Mr. O is pushing 40, "up and coming" bodybuilders like "Andrew Jacked" are over 40, and dudes like Rockel competing well into their fifties.
Kids these days are too addicted to social media and video games to don the thong and go to battle.
