What about Rich Piana? His net worth is estimated at 3mil.

Thanks
Terry
He notices that.
It does not matter now because he is dead.
Nice how this story mentions how rich they are, but all have admitted steroid use. Arnold had open heart surgery at 49 due to clogged arteries due to steroid use. Horrible omission of REAL FACTS.
Mr.Deez,
Those are valid points…Thanks for stopping by

Tom Platz anyone ?
A true Gentleman and one funny guy
Mr. Deez you fail to realize this article ISN’T about nutrition and supplementation. It only discusses the money they have made from the sport.
What about Lee Labrada? He’s had a successful nutrition line for years.
Lou Ferrigno is worth more than 6 million dollars and Arnold Schwarzenegger did not make 300 million dollars bodybuilding.He made that much including his movie career.
Indeed

I always thought it was strange how Lou Ferrigno is more muscular than Arnold Schwarzenrgger but Arnold Schwarzenegger always won when they competed against each other.
I thought about this myself, even in pumping iron!

There were some with better symmetry and good mass i.e. Serge Nubret and sergio Oliva but they lacked the business sense to make a fortune and felt comfortable in their Role. How many of us are Millionaires ?
Secondly, The once who are financed BB at that time ( today the same ) are looking for the most charismatic Person which brings the Sport ( and the money rolling ) to the masses.

Some valid points Luther!
