According to Indeed.com, the average earnings for a professional bodybuilder is $77,000 per year in 2014. The earnings are influenced by location. For example, a pro bodybuilder in New York makes about $93,000 a year. Pro bodybuilders in California make an average of $83,000 annually, while in Florida, they earn about $72,000 a year. In Nebraska, pro bodybuilders make an average of $56,000 a year. For top-tier bodybuilders, the earnings are much higher. According to "Muscle and Fitness" magazine, the first place winner of the Mr. Olympia competition received $675,000 in 2013. The Ms. Olympia winner received $60,000.
So...... $56000 after paying for coaching, weekly grocery budget, car payment, insurance, travel, gym membership and gear, pretty much you are broke. The reality is this is how most ifbb pros live. They are not in magazines, nor winning the Mr. Olympia. They are making 3rd call outs and living in a tiny apartment somewhere. Is that the kind of life you would want?
