most "normal bodybuilders" don't make too much look at the earning from the olympia. Jay,Ronnie etc make alot of extra from ads for there companies. But the normal joe doesn't make any where near these guys

lots of bodybuilders are either gay porn stars or they are male escorts or even hookers...

buy a gym, make it upscale, provide tanning, massage, lots of different classes, and food services for planned meals..
that's the path to $$$$

The very top 3 names in bodybuilding make over a million a year. Outside of that, between the top 5-10, they make a living, but when you get into the others, most of them work full time as trainers, and low end pro's even have 9-5 jobs

Yep, only the top guys are earning the big bucks. Endorsements, guest posing, seminars, books, fan clubs, etc. I believe Jay Cutler has made a good chunk of money in real estate and land development.

Some are, I would not say a lot. The percentage is small but give the rest a bad name. People assume the rest are doing it to.

Do you think any big names? I know its there, but I'd think more on the low end pros and amateurs

Sad to say I know for sure a few big names male and female who did it in the past but they don't do it now.
True. A lot of guys have no skills outside of bodybuilding. Just like other sports you have to have something to fall back on. I work a full time job to pay for the sport so if I never make it I still have a job.
