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
-
I heard Ronnie makes $480,000 from BSN

I heard Ronnie makes $480,000 from BSN
I thought he gets $500,000? I believe this year his contract goes up?
-
480 - 500, what's 20 grand when you're up there? "Ain't nutin' but a peanut."

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

With the exception of Ronnie, Jay, Dexter (those Arnold wins) and MAYBE Gunter, no one else is earning more than 200K from bodybuilding alone. After taxes and expenses, 99% of these guys are very lucky to clear 100K/year. You guys are deluded if you believe the hype. Most pros are drug dealers, plain and simple. For every guy that gets caught (Victor, McCrary, Arntz, Titus) there are a dozen that get away with it.
Milos will tell you how much Weider was paying him. Lee will tell you how much Prolab was paying him.
Weider paid rookies 30-40K with very minimal increases each year unless they did something outstanding. Muscletech was getting guys like DuVal and Freeman and JJackson for cheap.
Don't be fooled. Guest posings are built into the contracts. When Cutler was making $400K at ISS, they had him either guest posing or giving seminars 50 weekends/year out of town!!! That's straight from Jay.
As for "merchandise" it's a joke. The same 200-500 schmoes buy the merch. A pro would be lucky to sell 100 t-shirts/videos in a year. Once the career is on the downswing and the endorsement deals dry up, it's time to either become a full-time drug dealer (name deleted), a full-time drug addict (Titus), or a full-time trainer at the local gym (Prince).

Thank you for this post....I did make around $6,000 or more a month off of training....along with "enhancement sales" I could say I made about $8.000 a month or more....I am realistic sorry.....

Youd think it would cost more than 30-40/k a year to even survive as a pro bodybuilder.

If you want it black and white than you guys are living in a fantasy world.....You have to think about to even eat what needs to feed a juice filled pro-material body in a year than you are looking at anywhere from $24,000-$30,000 a year....along with "enhancement" use your looking at another good $10,000-$20,000 a year....Now after that is all said and done you are looking at pre-competition which will tax you around $2,000-$5,000.....Please let me know if I am off in my numbers....For I know and have been there before.....

oh I haven't decided yet, but I'm thinking of buying some Cutler dvds and mailing them to you. That or a year supply of pepto since I'd be taking all of your money and making you sick. Or maybe I should buy you some boxes? Hell freezing over doesn't sound too far away, better call FEMA!

Depends on multiple factors. The pro's name, his placing in shows, his look, his reputation, if he has a sponser. I know muscletech pays Jay Cutler 300,000 per year, plus his earnings guest posing, his earnings in shows. Even second place at the "O" pays 90,000 then you have his arnold classic wins at 110,000 each. You do the math. Many bbdr's unfortunatly have to struggle bigtime. Its because bbdg is not considered a sport. Its sad. Even the shittiest baseball player gets a million dollars per year.

I receive a 2.5 million salary per year with a $100,000 bonus per owning.

The guest posings are part of that $300k.

Actually the minimum MLB salary is around $327 k.... but what's 300% between friends?

Big worm...hahaha. Such a monster tool! I am sure he lives in his momma's basement making 23 grand with a 1982 civic. Such a same.
But you are right, I SHOULD mind my own business, especially in a "GOSSIP and OPINIONS" forum! Brutal intelligence right there, jackass.
-
How about promoting shows? Does John Lindsay makes any money out of all the NPC amateur he promotes here in California? I think he does.
Not sure about the guest posing being part of most supplement contract. I was involved with the SJ show promotion 3 years ago and paying the guest poser was direct to him, not to the supplement company. I was surprise how little he was getting after tax...
shit I'm better off making 150k doing software engineering in Silicon Valley...
-
im not so sure all jays gues posings are in the muscletech contract. You can go to his site and try to book him for appearances if you are a legit promoter or store owner.

All this talk of money and how much Pros make.Remember you guys were passing the hat around for Rusty,so I guess not much if not in top 10.But GH and gear are all cheap and no serious health problems so money doesn't mean anything.

Money is the root of all evil. Besides, why does it matter?
I just wanna correct a common misquote here.....it's actually "the love of money is the......".
One other one - just an fyi - when so many folks use "mano y mano" they assume they're saying "man to man" when in actuality they've not only misquoted the phrase but misinterpreted the meaning. It's actually "mano a mano" and it means "hand to hand".
-

More delusions. Neither Weider nor Muscletech nor any other company gives Pros a % of their sales under an endorsement deal. Maybe if the Pro is acting in multiple capacities like opening accounts or selling through their website, but that would be the exception, not the rule.
Much more common is the situation where an upstart company gives the Pro a retail credit for $500-1000/month in product.
As for your idea of inflated salaries, consider this: According to Orville Burke, the year he won the Night of Champions, he was making $1000/month under contract from Iron-Tek. According to Milos, he was making $80,000/year from Weider at his peak. When they were both under contract with Weider, Titus and Prince were both earning $45-50K/year.
So, considering that big earners like Weider and Muscletech paid most of their guys under 50K, ask yourself how much little companies like Egg Whites International or Plucker's Chicken Shack pay. Can you spell F-O-O-D C-R-E-D-I-T??
Special "Reality TV" Ed

Special "One for the money,Two for the show" Ed is correct...
Let me share with all of you day dream believers on here what a major supplement company gave a pretty good pro BB who is known to be freaky massive...won a pro show beating Ruhl in the process...hails from the CheeseHead state now living in the Lone Star state who placed respectable in a pro show very very recently...
Now you all know who I am talkin about and probably can figure out what supplement company I'm referring to...
Him and I used to talk...at a show a few yrs back we went out to eat in a group after a guest posing...he got into no $$$ in BB and broke down his compensation for being at their booth, pics in their advertisments etc...
He got COST for their entire line of products for his own personal supplement shop he used to own...and he was given a stipend to appear at various shows(cover gas expenses and maybe an extra $50 for food.) At the ASC in 2004...he only had his flight paid for and room for 2 nights. That's it. Everything els...out of his own pocket. When he told us that...we were floored.
Same company another 'athlete'...but he's a national level guy who would appear at major shows and/or expos with them...seen in lots of their ads. K- Chan-e-k-. Yup...
He sort of 'worked' for the company from out of his home. He would open sales accounts and get a 10% commission. He would also get their line of supps/merchandise for their COST. ASC or Olympia? He'd only get his flight paid for...HE had to cover his own room and pay for all his own food. I guess the difference between being a PRO and amature is having your room(s) paid for...
Whoope-doo!

No respond from a pro yet.
Bob said he gets 10% of his earning from the IFBB

Ahahaha I started a new job. Starting salery is 51k per year. few years I will be making good bank. I hope to make over 100k per year before I am 28

Ahahaha I started a new job. Starting salery is 51k per year. few years I will be making good bank. I hope to make over 100k per year before I am 28
you'd be suprised how little money 51k really is. Wait a few years when you've got a house, kids, school...you name it. I've doubled my salarie in the last 4 years and it's still hard, the more money you got the more money you'll spend.

I know but I am not even 25 yet! Cut me some slack!
