I saw a pic from the Arnold that had Shawn Ray, Flex Wheeler, Jay Cutler, Ronnie Coleman, maybe a couple of others that made me think of this. Also, that thread on Boyer Coe, I thought he had some equipment company and was set for life. By “set for life” I mean never have to work another day unless you want to, enough money to pay your bills rent food whatever it else you wanna do and have a very comfortable lifestyle.

I think Arnold, Gaspari, Ferrigno, Labrada, Dorian, Cutler. Not sure about the rest.

When I saw poor Ronnie hobble off stage by himself it touched my soul.

Pearl was. Efferding, Troy Zaccolotto probably is, Zane, Haney, can't think of many more.

Funny all the guys you named are white. But yeah I would add Haney and Ronnie.

Arnold, Ferrigno, Dorian, Labrada, Zane, Cutler for sure.

Levrone has his music-career with his records selling top 10 in the Middle-East and South-East Asia and Kai Greene with his Movie career and Grapefruitbusiness that still generates income.

What about Heath? Strydom? Also what about Sam Sulek? People here claim such social media followings result in big bucks.

Heath was allegedly doing broke ghetto shit like this years ago -

.

I don't think his money stays.

Strydom, who knows? Is he in Thailand for the ladyboy bussy, or because it's cheap?

Sulak? Great start, but can he hold it.

O'hearn and Doucette are set, and seem smart about it.

Lee Haney probably. Dennis Wolf maybe.

Thank you for being woke Rob. I knew you'd come around.

The older guys are on Social Security (if they worked enough to claim it).

Sure, I think Haney maybe Wolf also. Really just a handful overall. And I’m not talking massive riches, just don’t have to work and can fly out to the Arnold or the O whenever you want without sweating it.

I wonder about Shawn Ray, seems like he’s ok. A couple or three houses bought at the right time in SoCal and you could be doing great.

Cutler for sure.

Sulek already set for life.

I think most of them blew it with lifestyle inflation tbh

so out of the top pros maybe just a few like Cutler.. maybe Yates... and that's about it.

most of those that are considered "legends" can make money from their name in many ways if they are smart about it

How? Bodybuilding is a niche sport.

So they can get a job anyone can get? Low pay, boring and unstable work with no health insurance. That's far from set for life and frankly humiliating for anyone of any notoriety.
