I'm gonna go with Jay Cutler, Darrem Charles, and Shawn Ray.
-
Arnold.

Arnold.
Okay, Okay.... EXCLUDING him. :P
-
Arnold.
lol
im sure he has 'several'
-
I have seen the Unblievable and Cost of Redemption and Ronnie has the same home. Average looking home but not bad. He did add a small home gym.
The cars are awesome.
how about Mr. Rent a home and rent a car for 1 day to shoot a video Mr. Shawn Ray?
-
After seeing mtv cribs and the wacky pads that lots of people have bodybuilder homes are quite dull.

How are you going to compare Usher's Home to Shawn Ray?????
I would estimate the "elite" BBer earns somewhere b/w 200 and 500K a year, and blows it all trying to "live the lifestyle".....see Ronnie and his cars. Although, saving would not necessarily be wise either considering the average life expectancy of a modern day BBer can't be much over 60.
I doubt these guys have much left when they retire, otherwise why would Shawn Ray be hustling like crazy trying to promote his own show, or is it for the love of the "sport" and to support the "athletes".

its called being entrepreneurial or in laymans
'doin business'
-
Shawn Ray has a classy home.. with an melon in the fridge.
-
Craig Titus had a nice place. ;D
His present residance aka the Cross Bar Hilton is exquisite
-
ronnie makes way more then half a million a year...
-
Before all that "stuff" happened Dennis James had a bad ass crib in Thailand!
-
I've seen some really nice cardboard boxes behind Gold's Venice. I'm not sure who owns them.

Everyone knows Sean does only for Sean. He makes it look like he is doing for others but in reality it is to benefit him. He has been out of the limelight for a few years and misses people knowing who he is and seeing him. Promoting a hsow where his own pic is everywhere and he is doing every iterview instead of using others is the perfect giveaway.

Seeing how Ronnie won his Hummer in '01 at the ASC and he won the escalade for winning the O, he's blowin it all huh. The only one he's payin for is the Bentley and his BSN contract more than takes care of that!!

Dang man, will you ever give it a rest? ::)
-
Chick will have the nicest once he saves enough money and moves out of his shitbag apartment!
Haha!
-
Lou has to have a nice house from all the $20 he gets from little kids. :)

yeah compare their homes to people that have godly amounts of money ::)
darrem has a nice home but I heard the hurricane destroyed it

-

Nope, not after what he posted on the thread for the show today. He is a lying scumbag. He has no morals or gratitude to anyone who helps him. I just called my friend in Maui who helped him and his wife and Flex and his with somethings to do on Maui while they were there and Sean never showed up and never called my friend back. He is a low life. No matter how much some of you might like him, the people who knwo him or have actually delat with him say the same thing. Go read what he put and what I put.
-
Jays house looks Beautiful in his dvd..what a phat kitchen!
-
I hear Kamali's parents have the nicest basement around!!
;D
-
I would add in Derrem Charles and Dennis James.
-
Considering a Bentley goes for, what, $150k, yes... Ronnie is "blowing it". Especially given that he already has 2 high-end vehicles he got for free!
Typical negro... lives in a shit-bag house, and spends every dime he makes on depreciating assets like cars and "bling". ::)
I am glad that the white BB are not buying expensive cars while not making as much as Ronnie.
I edited my post to add the ::) ::)
-
It has nothing to do with being African American. People spend money all the time on "depreciating" assets.Add up all the extra money people spend in a lifetime on "supplements" to obtain a certain look.It is his money might as well enjoy it,cause he won't live long enough to retire.
-
With all the juice these guys have lying around the house. I am sure a good majority of them sell the shit on the side to a few "friends". As VM put it "I just help people out". And he has cops watching him 24/7.

There are only 3 pics of Shawn in the program and 2 of them are really small. The pic of the guy in the Muscular Development ad (Victor Martinez, maybe?) is twice as big as the largest Shawn pic.
Who else would you rather see interviewed, Keith?

WHY??
You've got to let this one go and move on, bro. If you feel that he cost you $4000 (I believe that's the amount you posted), then just chock it up to experience and move on. Surely that $4000 isn't worth all the time and energy you've devoted to hating on Shawn the past year.
You're a bigger person than that. Take a shot at him every once in a while if you want, but let the obsession go. You should NOT be calling your friends to talk about Shawn. You live in Hawaii, for crying out loud - go enjoy paradise! ;)

Believe Tre I chocked it up to experience. He is the one who posted omething today about me in another thread and calling me a liar about the room I got him at the Kahala Mandarin. He owes me $600 for running out on the bill. He is full of shit and a scumbag and yes I am way better than he is, you are right. But, now he is calling me a liar and saying it never happened. I can't understand why people support (at all) a low life scumbag cheater, and inmoral guy like him. Unreal.
-
I've heard that King Kamali used to have a pretty nice "live-in" basement.......
-
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, he called me a LIAR.
Sorry Keith, now let it go bro before the Hammer Falls. ::)
The Jello is Jiggling. :'(
It's good to be me. ;D
Like my fountain :-*

Shawn, is that your new home now? ???

proportionality. this middle-class modified Georgian style house is too big for the little piece of land on which the slab foundation is built. the fountain is nice but again it's lacking the correct proportionality to it's setting. where the hell are the conifers, ornamentals and rose bushes? while we're on this critique of some show-off's crib why is the perimeter wall so low?
i like a 7 foot brick wall for security purposes and privacy.
ps. and please beautify and paint in decorative colors the fire hydrant for the streetscape.

Well, taxes take a big chunk of that contract...

Ha, many good points here as far as homes go. Too much crammed into the area. Who is the fountain for, the guy who's dog is crapping on the fire hydrant? Yeah, most of us don't live in houses this nice - but we also aren't posting pics of them on here either for bragging purposes (an yes, it is posted to show off to us).

Question - if Shawn agreed that there was some misunderstanding with respect to the $600 hotel bill and sent you a check for $300, would you consider the matter settled?
I'm not saying that Shawn has to buy your silence or friendship, but it would be a great thing if you both could put your promotional experience to work for the enhancement of everyone's enjoyment of bodybuilding events.

I personaly like and appreciate the fact that ronnie doesn't have some ridiculous house even though he could easily afford one, i mean he does live in texas afterall, not california. I've seen cribs, and most of those houses are lame, totally unnecessary, and just another material good to show off with. Ronnie looks(ed) comfortable in his house and thats what i appreciate the most. He's not trying to show off, he's got a nice house for a single guy with no immediate family. Good for him in my opinion.

Why would I take something less than what is owed. Number one it takes allot to get a discount at a hotel in Hawaii. We have a thing here called a Kama'aina discount which is given to people who live in Hawaii. It is really good at hotels. Most of the time we can get 50% off the room rate. The Kahala Mandarin is one of the most exclusive hotels in Hawaii. The President stays there as does many many celebrities. My friend was one of the managers there. So Sean asks me to get him a discount there cause it is one of hsi favorites hotels. So I make a call and get it done. End of story....I thought.
I get a phone call from my friend later that night. Apparently my friend got off at 4pm and hung around for another 2 hours waiting for Sean whose plane landed around 3pm or so don't remember. Anyway he has to leave to pick his kids up from some swim meet or something like that around 6pm or so. He tells me that Sean didn't show yet. I said okay well whatever. The next day he tells me he had a note in his box that some guy was making a scene in the lobby last night about having a room reserved but he told the front desk people he didn't have his ID. Which right there is bullshit since you can't fly without ID. I have no idea why he wouldn't show his ID. Anyway what happend was he got put into another room which was slightly higher in price because that was all that was left. He lost his room for being several hours late. Well that upgrade cost money. We told him that and everything was supposed to be okay. My friend who is the nicest guy in the world felt kind of bad still because he gave Sean one room rate but it ended up being a little more than he said. I told him hey he was late, he did not even call you to tell you he was late, he made a fool out of himself in the lobby and he tells them he doesn't have any ID. Fuck him charge him for the room upgrade. Even though we told Sean about the upgrade and he said no problem, my friend felt so bad that he decided to cover the extra charges himself. He told me this after Sean left cause if he told me while Sean was still there I would have made Sean pay. He showed me the cost and it was almost $600. I got really pissed at him for this expeciually when Sean didn't have the decency to even call him. He only met him once to even thank him for the room. So I ended up paying him back cause I felt bad that he had to pay for guy who took advantage of him and didn't have the balls to even say bye when he left. So that is the story. It's not's even the money it's the principle of the thing. He uses people all the time and never has the decency to even thank them or whatever. He did the same thing to my partner on Maui. He thinks his shit don't stink and he is above everyone. Sure he can turnon the nice when he wants, but it is all fake. It how a person handles himself when the cameras are off that really tells the story.

Back when this stereotype developed, a car dealer could (and would) happily take very nickel a Black man had for a nice car. A realtor couldn't do the same, however, for fear of being drummed out of business.

Sounds like the typical spoiled "athlete" ::), except we all know its not a sport.

I believe you bro. So far, everything you've ever claimed has been 100% true.

Hey I'm not here to try to make Sean look bad or anything. He does that himself. But, so many people are thinking I am attacking Sean off the wall or for no reason. I don't do that ever. I could give a shit abot the money. I have people who owe 1000 times that amount. It ain't the money. It's he came here making me look bad and calling me a failure at my show, a fat ass (which at the time I am but getting smaller everyday), and telling me he'll show me how to promote a show the right way. Well sorry but as much promotion he did it was not the right way. But I am tired trying to explain it to him and others.
He did his show at least. It's better than not doing it. For the BB's it was awesome. For the fans who attended it was awesome. For me who watched it 3500 miles away on my laptop by the pool it was awesome. I liked it. The stage was good, the background was good. Not sure if other shows used the Plasmas like he did to rotate the sponsors to avoid clutter on the stage but I know I did but with 11' video screens. I guess the sound was good. Only seen pics of the expo but from what I hear it was good. Hard not to be for the fans cause it was free. So it was a win win situation for them. The guy who won the Hummer was probably had the most fun of anyone there. The convention center there is absolutely awesome. But way to big for this show. And I can't get overthe fact it is in Denver. But all in all from what I saw and read and heard the show was absolutely a success. BUT...............
It is the bottom dollar that has to be looked at no matter what. Fans don't care about that part. All they care about is the show good and worth the money. This show was worth money. If you like BB. But, when all the dust settles later this week and they go over the final accounting, the fact is it lost money and allot of it.
Believe me I wouldn't have done this battling with anyone else but Sean. He was an easy target. But, its over now and if things go right he will be able to return fire at me next year. And I will love it. And Chic you can emcee if you want.

Well... let us see those cribs. Photos of Ronnie's and Jay's places will do. Craig had a nice place. Give the guys credit. They're doing ok for a sport with a small market.
