Franco Columbu..... Settle the Debate.
« on: August 08, 2006, 01:52:44 PM »
I'm having it out with my good friend who swears that Franco is a MULTIMILLIONAIRE  ::) . I highly doubt this and say he's at best living an upper middle class life.


Does anybody know? Thanks.

According to his official website he is a chiropractor in west LA. Somewhere in middle class, I guess.

Did your friend mention why he would think Franco would be a multi millionaire?

I am pretty sure Franco is doing well.  He has been a Chiropractor for over 20 years I think, plus I am sure he makes something sellng pics, doing appearances, seminars etc.  Millionaire yes, multi-millionaire doubt it.  He may also have invested in property in Santa Monica along with Arnold way back.  And if so then he is definitely a multi.

As onlyme says....only can take a gues but millionaire - yes....multi-millionaire (maybe or doubtful).

Have to remember...Arnold is his bud.  I'm sure Arnold has slid him on some investments in the past.

Arnie loves Franco.  In a very hetero way.  Franco does fine and has a decent back account and besides Arnie would never let him starve.

He own a lot of property in Cali, I'm sure arnold took care of him with some insider trading tips whenever he got word of something, i'm sure he is doing very well.

As for the other italian-american bodybuilder living in california and renting his condo, well, I think its' fair to say, he's not doing as well as Mr. Colombu.

Back account. Great freudian slip!

Franco claims to have earned a PhD in nutrition in his book.  I assume he has spent many, many hours researching and studying nutrition, and has been published in the professional journals.   ::) ::)

Arnold recently appointed Franco to the state board of Chiro . . . Franco is now a respected member of  that board. It is a very very significant position and I am sure it pays a little as well.
