Huh? Sulak is more popular and I'd wager makes more money then Fouad already just off of YouTube. Fouad is the one on his knees blowing Sam. Why all the hate for a kid that just likes to work out? When did this place turn into a bunch of boomers reeking of jealousy?
If he's monetizing himself properly, I can't fathom him making under five figures a month [$10,000+]. B. Hank said he is getting 500K views per video, and uploads daily. That should be $500+/day alone + his ads on previous videos.
He can match whatever he makes on YouTube ads with other money. gh15 used to say bodybuilders use $30K per year just on GH, or something ridiculous. If he is good with his money, he won't even need to compete.
I always hope bodybuilders are smart, but even NFL players go broke. IMO, he should squirrel away the first $1-2M. GIC's in Canada pay 5.25%. Presumably in the USA, too.
If Sam keeps the momentum going even until 2028 or so, he could set himself up for life. I hope he does.
High level bodybuilding is so toxic. If he avoids competing, he can avoid dangerous cuts. Not many bodybuilders get his following - I hope someone tells him to be smart about it.
