Money is the root of all evil. Besides, why does it matter?

sorry, but they lie about money as much as they lie about their lifts.

One of these clowns claimed a 4.3M contract with some supplement company lol... monster delusions.

the problem that we have here is the a lot of gay for pay money goes undocumented as it is paid in cash. So people Alexxx don't really make that much when you look at his tax returns

but clearly he his making a ton of cash..a lot of bodybuilders fall into that categiory

1. Its interesting!
2. See how much the ave pro makes, I cannot believe pro athletes get paid that little.

If they can convince the supplement companies good reasons to have them as their spokesperson, then generally they earn a decent living. I know Lee talked Twinlab into giving him a high position, and I know Bob does some high stuff for Egg Whites Inc outside of his BB.com contract.

Usually, "quote un-quote" speaking....A top supplement company will offer a top pro a 6 figure contract....Although, this depends on shows and placings.......

Anyone who says 'money is the root of all evil', doesn't have any.

I have watched personally people do amazing things in the name of a contract..........

Ronnie makes between $500,000 - $1,500,000 a year. Not sure where exactly he would be in there, but definitely in that range. I'm sure Gunter and Jay can say the same thing.

That is based on multiple contracts trust me....I know King Ron is a millionare....He just has to sign the dotted line to be that....

HRDCOR · « **Reply #13 on:** September 04, 2006, 09:11:56 PM »

Lee earns about $300k plus a year not including his racing deals and his sundary income from merchandise sales and show winnings etc!!!

I might get told off for telling you that !!!

Considering that all of the "supplements", food, tanning, travel expenses for shows, on top of all the other expenses that the average person has like mortage/rent, car payment, cell phone, utilities. I would expect the average pro or top level amateur to need at least $80,000-$100,000 of income per year to get by. Whether they can cover this themselves or have "sponsors" and I don't mean official contracts with companies is questionable. Maybe we can get a PRO to weigh in on the issue of how much do you actually need to support yourself and your BB career. If my estimate is correct, probably 1/3 to 1/5 of the PRO's require a little "help" financially.

I have made as high as $6,000 a month with training, but I will tell you honestly I have thought about competing just to get a bullshit contract that may pay for my diet alone.....

If you've ever seen a Jay DVD... you will see, he is not slackin on his pimpin by any means. Straight baller. I imagine Muscletech treats him very well. Also take into consideration the 93,000 dollar check he got fro last years O.

Man, that cheque should cover his grocery bill for a few months, lol

I would say that Jay brings in more per year than Ronnie or any PRO for that matter.

In it 2 win it · « **Reply #19 on:** September 04, 2006, 09:47:24 PM »

Ive always wondered how much does it cost to be a pro? With all the food, supplements+vitamins, drugs?
What is the monthly cost of a top pro bodybuilder?

Jay's contract with Muscletech is the biggest Muscletech contract to date and rivals Ronnie's BSN contract. Not to mention the other 20 sponsorships Jay has.
