None of these bums deserve any of their stupid money.

All their contest earnings and merchandise sales that they ever earned should be levied from their bank accounts. Every single penny!

Jay should also have his entire real estate portfolio foreclosed from him.

Take all their dumb supplements that they peddle and toss them into a landfill!

Arnold’s sidewalk star should be smashed up with a sledgehammer and ground into building materials for construction of a nonprofit hospital to help people with no insurance.


Why the hate for them ?

Probably because he is natural.

🤔  If so how does what they take have any impact on him.
I'm sure he will answer in good time.

Why the hate for them ?
I have no hate for their souls.

I do take offense to how they earned their money. I take offense to their arrogant and pompous best thing since sliced bread attitudes. I despise the importance and love they place on money. I despise how they look down on people who aren’t in the same tax brackets as them. I take offense to them cruising around town smoking cigars and smirking at people they deem as below them. I won’t forget how badly they treated fans who came to see them. I take offense to the ways they got ahead in their industry by stepping on others to get ahead. I find it pathetic that they view themselves as elite athletes. I can’t stand how they acted like they owned the gym and kicked people off equipment. I take offense to how Jay treated Mitsu the camera man. I have a big problem with these people constantly needing to buy buy buy and to feel the need to flaunt their wealth. Most of all, I take offense to how poorly they treat their fans when the fans are the ones that supported them when they were nobodies. Without the fans, they would not have the life they live. Would be amazing to see some humility from them once in a while. Everything I said applies to actors in Hollywood and professional sports as well.

I don’t care that they’re not natural. I just am scared of needles. And I will answer when it’s the best time for me. Clock on the wall means nothing to me.

Lou's probably right, I think they bought and sold properties to make ends meet sometimes. 12 million is actually great for Ferrigno. Remember he only really was the Hulk, after that it, it was mainly guest roles. If he gets any residuals from The Incredible Hulk, they wouldn't be as huge as one thinks, as the old contracts were much tougher about that, and they'd have hit peak long ago.

Lou still lives well - https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/lou-ferrigno-changes-property-portfolio-170508240.html .

10 million of it is from his DVD sales

" 9. Mike O’Hearn – $3.8M (USA)
Mike O’Hearn built his net worth mainly through modeling, acting, fitness covers, online coaching, and his “Power Bodybuilding” programs. With 400+ magazine covers, paid appearances, fitness courses, and long-term brand deals, he monetized his image rather than competition titles. Acting roles also contribute significantly to his earnings."

I find that hard to believe.

Wasn’t  he just a personal trainer who did some modeling and covers before he married Mona? And I remember reading about a lawsuit with him and his ex wife against some supplement company. The lawsuit showed how much he was paid per month and it wasn’t that much. Seems like he was able to buy his home after he married her. Wonder if her ex husband’s money help fund his current superstar lifestyle? Other than Gladiators, Magazine Dreams, and a small part in an episode of It’s Always Sunny, I’ve never heard or seen any movies or shows  he’s been in. I still think he pays for these “on set movie clips” he posts on his social media so he can portray himself as an actor. Maybe he justifies them as his samples of his acting and sends them off to studios for considerations for parts. To be quite serious, if he does have an agent, he really dropped the ball by not getting Mike to star in that new He-Man film. Maybe he did audition for it, who knows.

Jay Cutler has a lot of different investments

This is probably the real IFBB pro that has made more out of that "Pro Card"

Crazy how Arnold didn't make a penny even winning the Olympia so many times lol .... it was real state and after he made Conan he became a millionaire

same goes for the incredible Jerk although Louie has made every single penny out of his fame of being HULK/muscular.
which somehow is linked to being a IFBB pro



WoooSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
