Tellmehowmuch.com posted an article on how much a professional bodybuilder makes in a year so long as they are not in an extreme popularity group. Here is what they said:
“How much money do professional bodybuilders make? Most bodybuilders who pose in special events get $4,000 to $5,000 per appearance. If they get endorsements for lucrative supplements, they can have an additional income of around $100,000 to $200,000 per year. If they join in international bodybuilding competitions, they can win $300,000 to $400,000. Professionals who are not as popular as Schwarzenneger and Ferrigno usually receive an annual income of $75,000 to $100,000.”
I find this fairly amuzing. I would like too know how many professional bodybuilder are able to make six figures without the “lucrative” endorsements. Being in the industry, I am far from convienced that a professional bodybuilder has an annual income of 75-100 thousand dollars a year…I know too many who are having to supplement (pun intended) thier ‘bodybuilding’ income with other jobs.
