Top Natural Bodybuilders: The Best of the Best in the Fitness World

Out of all the competitions in the world, bodybuilding stays apart as a unique one. Athletes train for years to perfect their bodies and develop muscular mass. Likewise, athletes who train for competitions are understood as bodybuilders. In professional competitions like the Mr. Olympia event, bodybuilders stand on the stage, posing for various parts of their bodies. Judges rank them based on their symmetry, muscularity, size, conditioning, posing, and stage presentation. There are various competitions in bodybuilding but the Mr. Olympia contest stands apart from the rest.

<h2>History of bodybuilding</h2>
Old Greeks became the inspiration for people to start bodybuilding. After that, modern competitions came up from various theatrical acts and other circus acts. They held the first <a href="https://www.britannica.com/sports/bodybuilding" target="_blank" rel="noopener">contest</a> in 1903 in New York. The winner of the competition was Al Treloar and dubbed "The Most Perfectly Developed Man in the World." Significantly, organizers saw potential in that and the start of the Mr. America contest showcased some of the best talents. The rise of various bodybuilders across the globe saw the Mr. Universe event come into place and it became the main event for over 25 years. But, the late 1970s saw Joe Weider come up with a grand plan and create the Mr. Olympia contest.

<h2>Mr. Olympia contest</h2>
The contest that captured the minds of fans was the Mr. Olympia contest under the International Federation of Bodybuilding &amp; Fitness. Weider helps these bodybuilders to earn money by competing in events. They held the first competition on September 18, 1965, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York City. Larry Scott won the first two titles. Moreover, the bodybuilders with the highest number of titles are Lee Haney and Ronnie Coleman. In the meantime, to make their entry into the market, the famous documentary, Pumping Iron, saw the buildup to the 1975 Mr. Olympia contest. It helped athletes like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lou Ferrigno, and Franco Columbu.
<h2>Famous bodybuilders</h2>
There are several bodybuilders to grace the grand stage. But some bodybuilders achieved greatness with their astonishing bodies.
<ul>
 	<li><strong>Arnold Schwarzenegger:?</strong></li>
</ul>
The Austrian bodybuilder is one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time. The Austrian Oak is a seven-time bodybuilding champion and became an influential personality in the business. He then transitioned himself to various acting roles, became an investor, and was elected as the Governor of California. Some of his movies like Terminator 2, Commando, Twins, and Conan the Barbarian are some of his classics.
<ul>
 	<li><strong>Ronnie Coleman:</strong></li>
</ul>
Dubbed to be the greatest bodybuilder of all time, Ronnie Coleman put his life and soul into the sport. He is an eight-time Mr. Olympia winner and became the most dominant bodybuilder in the business. Netflix released a documentary featuring his life in the bodybuilding industry. His size and conditioning stood apart from everyone else. A true champion who wore his heart on his sleeve.

<ul>
 	<li><strong>Lee Haney:</strong></li>
</ul>
Like Coleman, Lee Haney became an eight-time Mr. Olympia champion. He dedicated his body to the sport and was one of the most exciting bodybuilders on stage. Haney had a humongous waist size of 32.5 inches. Therefore, Haney deserves a special mention for his performances.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Derek Lunsford: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, Wife and more</strong></h2>
Derek Lunsford is the only person in the history of bodybuilding to have won the Mr. Olympia title in two divisions. While he won the Mr Olympia 212 division title in 2021, Lunsford wrote his name in the history books when he defeated Hadi Choopan to lift the Sandow trophy at the 2023 Mr. Olympia. Being a part of major history in the bodybuilding world, Derek Lunsford continues to create waves in the community, not just for his shredded physique, but also for the dedication that he has showcased throughout his career.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Derek Lunsford’s Early Life</b></h2>
<p style="text-align: left">Derek Lunsford was born in St. Petersburg, Indiana, on May 14, 1993. There is little to no information available on the names of the bodybuilding champion's parents. Even at school, Lunsford had an inclination towards sports, being a regular participant in wrestling and soccer games. However, it was after he started college that he ventured into lifting weights. There was a reason behind this as well. As the school that he attended did not have a wrestling program, Lunsford was forced to lift weights, paving the way for his interest in bodybuilding.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Derek Lunsford's Wife and Children</h2>
Lunsford got married to long-time girlfriend Jhelsin Mabaga in 2022. A fitness instructor by profession, Mabaga is often seen spearheading online fitness programs and is seen by Lunsford's side during many major bodybuilding events. As part of her profession, Mabaga is extremely active on social media and can often be seen sharing before-and-after transformation stories of her clients. The couple also recently became parents of a baby girl, who was born in January 2024.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Derek Lunsford's Net Worth</h2>
Multiple reports suggest that Derek Lunsford has a net worth of around 2 million dollars. The major part of Lunsford's income has come from competing in pro bodybuilding shows. While he earned $400,000 after lifting the Sandow trophy at the 2023 Mr. Olympia, his 2022 runner-up placing made him richer by $150,000. Lunsford also has other avenues that bring him revenue, including endorsements from supplement brands and his active engagement on social media.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Derek Lunsford's Career Timeline</h2>
The bodybuilding icon made his amateur debut, winning the 2015 NPC Indianapolis Championships' Men's Open Welterweight division. Lunsford was just 22 when he graced the stage for his first show. Lunsford further participated in the 2015 NPC Junior Nationals, winning the title there as well, followed by an encore in 2016. At the NPC USA Nationals in the same year, Lunsford came in at second place. It was during the 2017 NPC USA Championships that he earned his Pro Card, after grabbing the runner-up spot.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-2599852 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Snapinsta.app_399641557_18390522064014983_3624636058241346638_n_1080.jpg" alt="" width="1080" height="1219" />

Just like in his amateur debut, Lunsford's first rodeo as a Pro also ended up with him lifting the trophy. The bodybuilder won the 212 division at the 2017 IFBB Tampa Pro. At the 2018 Mr. Olympia, Lunsford came in second, only behind Flex Lewis, marking his name as a major force in the division. He repeated the same in 2019, while 2020 came as a major blow with a fourth-place finish. 2021 proved to be historical for the bodybuilder as he defeated Shaun Clarida to take the 212 Mr. Olympia title home.

That being said, it was 2022 that brought about Derek Lunsford's shift to the Open division. After receiving a special invitation from the IFBB, Lunsford claimed a second-place finish defeating Nick Walker and Samson Dauda. In 2023, Lunsford defeated reigning champion Hadi Choopan, to become the only bodybuilder in history to win Mr. Olympia titles in two different divisions.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Major Achievements in Derek Lunsford's Career</h2>

For supplementation, Lunsford banks on multivitamins, amino acids, and whey protein.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Hadi Choopan: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, wife and more</span></strong></h2>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Hadi Choopan started his journey from a small town in Iran. Despite the odds being stacked against him, the modern-day bodybuilding icon made the most of his circumstances. Choopan made the most of his talents, relentlessly competing until he won the Mr. Olympia, the most prestigious title in bodybuilding. However, despite reaching the pinnacle of the sport, Hadi Choopan didn't rest on his laurels. After a controversial loss to Derek Lunsford in 2023, The Persian Wolf is hungry for redemption.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Who is Hadi Choopan? </span></strong></h2>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">IFBB Pro Hadi Choopan is a former Mr. Olympia who won the title in 2022. The 36-year-old is a veteran bodybuilder who has been competing since he was just a 15-year-old teen. The bodybuilder first tasted success in local competitions in his home province of Fars in Southern Iran. Banking on his genetics and ability to rapidly gain muscle, Choopan climbed the ranks and, with immense dedication, conquered bodybuilding in 2022, becoming the first Mr. Olympia from Iran. A dream he nurtured from childhood became reality.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Hadi Choopan’s Early Life </span></strong></h2>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Hadi Choopan was born on 26th September 1987 in Abnow in the Sepidan County, Fars Province, in Southern Iran. Choopan was born into poverty, and his family was no better off than most families in a region strapped with financial struggles. Hence, Choopan had no other option but to start earning for his family at a very young age. In fact, the then-future Mr. Olympia champion worked two jobs, peddling goods and working in construction.</span>

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1413874 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Hadi-Choopan-1.jpg" alt="Hadi Choppan" width="1109" height="614" />

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Despite facing such harsh circumstances, Hadi Choopan found solace in bodybuilding. His interest drove him to start working out at 13. However, standing at 5'7", Choopan is among the shorter bodybuilders on stage, as a child, he was shorter and smaller. However, that didn't discourage him as he posed in front of family and friends, who didn't encourage his hobby. Yet, Choopan would eventually prove them wrong.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Hadi Choopan’s Wife and Children</span></strong></h2>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">The 2022 Mr. Olympia keeps his personal life private. Although he has become more active on social media in recent months, and even his kids have made an appearance in some of his videos, no information on Hadi Choopan's wife is available at the time of writing. The bodybuilder has three children. Mohammad-Hafez Choopan is the 36-year-old's eldest son, and Nadiya Choopan is his daughter and second child. However, the name of Choopan's youngest son is unknown at the time of writing as well.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Hadi Choopan’s Net Worth 2024 (Update)</span></strong></h2>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Although no concrete information on Hadi Choopan's net worth is available, he's reportedly worth approximately $5 million. In 2022, Choopan earned $400,000 from his Olympia win alone. In 2023, he earned $150,000 as the runner-up. The bodybuilder has also recently opened the Choopan Classic Gym in District 9, Shiraz, Fars Province, Iran. However, nothing is known about any other business ventures that the former champion might have in his country.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Hadi Choopan Career Timeline</span></strong></h2>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Hadi Choopan started training under Jamshid Owji. Owji made him train with only 5 kg (11 lbs) because he was an underweight 13-year-old kid. However, the ambitious bo quickly started gaining muscle. Choopan placed third at a national-level bodybuilding contest just three years after starting his training. In the following contest, The Persian Wolf won for the first time in a province-wide contest. In 2005, Choopan became national champion. Following his victory, the bodybuilder stopped training with Owji and trained on his own.</span>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">However, Choopan continued to win even without a coach. The national champion won a silver medal at the WBPF World Bodybuilding Championship while training by himself. In 2013, he teamed up with Ali Ne’mati. Under Ne'mati, Choopan made a name for himself in international contests. Hadi Choopan's career really took off once he met Hany Rambod in 2017.</span>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Under Hany Rambod, Choopan entered the 2017 Amateur Mr. Olympia and won. He then started making rapid improvements. Despite the improvements he made, visa issues prevented the bodybuilder from competing at prestigious competitions like the 2018 Arnold Classic and Mr. Olympia. Thankfully, he hasn't faced any similar issues since 2019.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Hadi Choopan’s Partnerships and Endorsements</span></strong></h2>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">The 2022 Mr. Olympia became an Evogen Nutrition-sponsored athlete shortly after teaming up with Hany Rambod. Evogen Nutrition is Rambod's brand, and so far, it seems Choopan is only associated with Evogen. The 36-year-old has also listed Evogne as his only sponsor on all social media handles. Even if he has teamed up with other sponsors on occasion no information is available on such collabs.</span>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Hadi Choopan’s workout and diet</span></strong></h2>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">While many debates on whether high-intensity or high-volume is the ideal approach for building muscle, Hadi Choopan does both. The bodybuilding champion employs a unique method of training with high intensity in one day. During the following workout, the bodybuilder trains the same muscle groups but with high volume. Choopan's unique approach contributes to his consistent and incredible onstage conditioning.</span>

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1410170 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/chris-bumstead-hadi-choopan-quads-workout.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" />

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">This hybrid approach to training and varying rest periods in accordance with strength and volume days help Choopan stay shredded. Thanks to this approach, Choopan doesn't do any dedicated cardio sessions. The following is an example of how Choopan trains one muscle group.</span>
<h4><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Chest - Strength Day (2 to 3 min rest periods)</span></h4>
<ul>
 	<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Incline Bench Press:</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> 5 sets x 5 reps</span></li>
 	<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Flat Smith-Machine Chest Press</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">: 5 sets x 5 reps</span></li>
 	<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Incline Dumbbell Press:</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> 3 sets x 5-8 reps</span></li>
 	<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Weighted Dips:</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> 3 sets x 6-8 reps</span></li>
 	<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Heavy Cable Flys:</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> 3 sets x 4-6 reps</span></li>
</ul>
<h4><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Chest - Hypertrophy/Volume Day (30 sec rest periods)</span></h4>
<ul>
 	<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Incline Dumbbell Press:</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> 3 sets x 10-12 reps</span></li>
 	<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Flat Barbell Bench Press:</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> 5 sets x 8-12 reps</span></li>
 	<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Incline Flys:</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> 4 sets x10-12 reps</span></li>
 	<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Dips:</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> 4 sets x 10-12 reps</span></li>
 	<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Dumbbell Pullovers:</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> 4 sets x 10-12 reps</span></li>
 	<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Push-Ups (superset, with cable flys):</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> 4 sets x 12 reps</span></li>
 	<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Flat Bench Dumbbell Flys (lightweight, finisher):</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> 5 sets 10-12 reps (drop set last set)</span></li>
</ul>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Choopan also follows specialized training under Hany Rambods, like the 24-time Olympia-winning coach's FST-7 training protocol.</span>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">The Persian Wolf follows a strict diet and supplementation protocol. The bodybuilder doesn't have too much variety in his diet. He eats brown rice, avocados, red and white meats. His supplement stack contains Whey protein isolate, BCAAs, L-carnitine, Fish Oil, and Multivitamins.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Hadi Choopan’s car collection </span></strong></h2>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">The 2022 Mr. Olympia winner doesn't like to flaunt his wealth on social media. Hence, barely any information about his material possessions is available. However, the bodybuilding icon reportedly owns four cars. Choopan owns a Hummer H2. Interestingly, seven-time Mr. Olympia Arnold Schwarzenegger was the one responsible for the existence of the Hummer.</span>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Besides the mammoth SUV, Choopan reportedly owns a Mercedes Convertible (unknown model). He owns another SUV, the Porsche Cayenne Turbo (unknown model year), and a Mitsubishi Lancer (3rd Gen), the iconic 'sleeper' sedan.</span>

Hadi Choopan: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, wife and more

<h2><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Jay Cutler's Net Worth 2023</span></strong></h2>
The sport of bodybuilding has seen many athletes take part in it to become the best. While hundreds of athletes are affiliated with the sport, only a few make it to legendary status. After the immense success of people like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lee Haney, and Ronnie Coleman, one man came forth to revolutionize modern-day bodybuilding, and who goes by the name of Jay Cutler. The American bodybuilder won 4x Mr. Olympia titles and is one of the most iconic modern-day bodybuilders.

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1304308" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Jay-Cutler-2.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="768" />

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Though hailing from a financially unstable background, through his dedication and ventures, Jay Cutler has now become one of the richest bodybuilders. As of 2023, Cutler's net worth is estimated to be around $30 million. Apart from the prize money from competitions, Cutler has earned it through his collaborations, advertisements, and modeling stints. Jay Cutler has been on the cover of renowned fitness magazines like Flex, Muscular Development, and Muscle and Fitness countless times. He also has a bodybuilding supplement line called 'Cutler Nutrition' and a fitness clothing line named 'Cutler Athletics.'</span>
<h2><b>Early Life of Jay Cutler</b></h2>
Born on August 3, 1973, his full name is Jason Isaac Cutler. The 49-year-old is a native of Worcester, Massachusetts. When Cutler was 11, he started working in his brother's construction business called 'Cutler Bros.' In 1993, Cutler graduated from the Quinsigamond Community College with a Criminal Justice degree. He intended on working as a corrections officer for a maximum security prison.

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">But all of it changed when Jay met the personal trainer Marcos Rodriguez. Jay was a natural at bodybuilding and entered his first amateur competition a year before he got his degree.</span>
<h2><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Jay Cutler?s family and wife</span></strong></h2>
Jason Isaac Cutler was born to now ex-military man Mr. Cutler and his wife Ann. Though spotted with his famous bodybuilder son on countless occasions, Jay's father has chosen to not disclose his name. Jay's parents divorced when he was just 4-year-old. Hence, he grew up primarily with his single father and siblings. However, despite the divorce, Cutler's mother, Ann, was an active part of their lives and maintained a healthy relationship with her ex-husband. When Jay dreamed to become a bodybuilder, his mother ensured he was getting the necessary nutrients irrespective of how much they cost.

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1207965" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/jay-cutler.jpg" alt="Jay Cutler" width="1920" height="1404" />

As for his siblings, the 4x Olympia has six brothers and sisters. His eldest sister's name is Kelly Coughlin. Keith Cutler, the founder of the company construction company Cutler Brothers, is Jay's older brother. Interestingly, Keith was Jay's first boss as the bodybuilder had landed his first job at his brother's company at the age of 11. Jay's second older sister is Ann Fleming. Just like their father, Ann, too, prefers to stay away from the limelight. Jay's third and youngest sister is Joyce Cutler, who works as a mortgage loan officer in Massachusetts. Cutler has two more brothers, however, their identity has never been revealed.

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">During his high school days, Cutler started dating a girl named Kerry. She also supported his dream to be a bodybuilder. After dating for ten years, the duo tied the knot in 1998. Unfortunately, after ten years of marriage, the couple ended their 20-year-long relationship in 2009. Following the separation from his now ex-wife, Cutler has been dating model and entertainer, Angie Feliciano. While the date when they started dating or tied the knot is unknown, Cutler is allegedly married to the model now. Though married twice, Cutler has no kids, yet.</span>
<h2><b>Bodybuilding Career of Cutler</b></h2>
In 1992, Cutler entered his first competition, which was the Gold's Gym Worcester Bodybuilding Championship. He took home the second-place medal from the event. The following year, Jay took his first overall win at the 1993 Iron Bodies Invitational.

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">In the 2000s, Jay emerged as one of the top bodybuilders in the world. He won the Arnold Classic championship three years in a row from 2002 to 2004. People now saw him as the rightful heir to Ronnie Coleman?s throne. Cutler would finish 2nd behind Ronnie four times before picking up his maiden Sandow trophy in 2006. In 2001, Cutler found himself in the?</span><a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-bodybuilding-news-jay-got-robbed-controversial-2001-mr-olympia-results-between-ronnie-coleman-and-jay-cutler-carves-out-bodybuilding-world-in-two-halves/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span data-preserver-spaces="true">middle of a controversy</span></a><span data-preserver-spaces="true">?as he tested positive for the use of banned diuretics at Mr. Olympia.

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">After 2006, Jay won the 2007 Mr. Olympia title as well but could not win the 2008 event. In 2009,</span><a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.evolutionofbodybuilding.net/jay-cutler-mr-olympia-4x/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span data-preserver-spaces="true">?he became only the third bodybuilder</span></a><span data-preserver-spaces="true">?ever to win the Mr. Olympia title in non-consecutive years. Jay defeated Dexter Jackson to lift the trophy. In 2010, Cutler defeated Phil Heath to win his final Mr. Olympia title. In 2011, Phil bested Cutler for the win. Jay did not participate in next year's Mr. Olympia owing to a bicep injury. Cutler made his last appearance at the 2013 Mr. Olympia competition, where he finished 6th. To this day, Jay is best known for his otherworldly quads, which he would showcase with the iconic 'Cutler Stomp.'</span>

Jay Cutler

Jay Cutler&#8217;s Net Worth 2023 The sport of bodybuilding has seen many athletes take part in it to become the best. While hundreds of athletes are affiliated with the sport, only a few make it to legendary status. After the immense success of people like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lee Haney, and Ronnie Coleman, one man came forth to revolutionize modern-day bodybuilding, and who goes by the name of Jay Cutler. The American bodybuilder won 4x Mr. Olympia titles and is one of the most iconic modern-day bodybuilders. Though hailing from a financially unstable background, through his dedication and ventures, Jay Cutler has now become one of the richest bodybuilders. As of 2023, Cutler&#8217;s net worth is estimated to be around $30 million. Apart from the prize money from competitions, Cutler has earned it through his collaborations, advertisements, and modeling stints. Jay Cutler has been on the cover of renowned fitness magazines like Flex, Muscular Development, and Muscle and Fitness countless times. He also has a bodybuilding supplement line called &#8216;Cutler Nutrition&#8217; and a fitness clothing line named &#8216;Cutler Athletics.&#8217; Early Life of Jay Cutler Born on August 3, 1973, his full name is Jason Isaac Cutler. The 49-year-old is a native of Worcester, Massachusetts. When Cutler was 11, he started working in his brother&#8217;s construction business called &#8216;Cutler Bros.&#8217; In 1993, Cutler graduated from the Quinsigamond Community College with a Criminal Justice degree. He intended on working as a corrections officer for a maximum security prison. But all of it changed when Jay met the personal trainer Marcos Rodriguez. Jay was a natural at bodybuilding and entered his first amateur competition a year before he got his degree. Jay Cutler?s family and wife Jason Isaac Cutler was born to now ex-military man Mr. Cutler and his wife Ann. Though spotted with his famous bodybuilder son on countless occasions, Jay&#8217;s father has chosen to not disclose his name. Jay&#8217;s parents divorced when he was just 4-year-old. Hence, he grew up primarily with his single father and siblings. However, despite the divorce, Cutler&#8217;s mother, Ann, was an active part of their lives and maintained a healthy relationship with her ex-husband. When Jay dreamed to become a bodybuilder, his mother ensured he was getting the necessary nutrients irrespective of how much they cost. As for his siblings, the 4x Olympia has six brothers and sisters. His eldest sister&#8217;s name is Kelly Coughlin. Keith Cutler, the founder of the company construction company Cutler Brothers, is Jay&#8217;s older brother. Interestingly, Keith was Jay&#8217;s first boss as the bodybuilder had landed his first job at his brother&#8217;s company at the age of 11. Jay&#8217;s second older sister is Ann Fleming. Just like their father, Ann, too, prefers to stay away from the limelight. Jay&#8217;s third and youngest sister is Joyce Cutler, who works as a mortgage loan officer in Massachusetts. Cutler has two more brothers, however, their identity has never been revealed. During his high school days, Cutler started dating a girl named Kerry. She also supported his dream to be a bodybuilder. After dating for ten years, the duo tied the knot in 1998. Unfortunately, after ten years of marriage, the couple ended their 20-year-long relationship in 2009. Following the separation from his now ex-wife, Cutler has been dating model and entertainer, Angie Feliciano. While the date when they started dating or tied the knot is unknown, Cutler is allegedly married to the model now. Though married twice, Cutler has no kids, yet. Bodybuilding Career of Cutler In 1992, Cutler entered his first competition, which was the Gold&#8217;s Gym Worcester Bodybuilding Championship. He took home the second-place medal from the event. The following year, Jay took his first overall win at the 1993 Iron Bodies Invitational. In the 2000s, Jay emerged as one of the top bodybuilders in the world. He won the Arnold Classic championship three years in a row from 2002 to 2004. People now saw him as the rightful heir to Ronnie Coleman?s throne. Cutler would finish 2nd behind Ronnie four times before picking up his maiden Sandow trophy in 2006. In 2001, Cutler found himself in the?middle of a controversy?as he tested positive for the use of banned diuretics at Mr. Olympia. After a legal battle, Cutler could regain his second-place finish at the event. 401614 06: Actor and former bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger (L) poses with Jay Cutler, winner of The Arnold Classic 2002, February 23, 2002 in Columbus, OH. (Photo by Matt Sullivan/Getty Images) After 2006, Jay won the 2007 Mr. Olympia title as well but could not win the 2008 event. In 2009,?he became only the third bodybuilder?ever to win the Mr. Olympia title in non-consecutive years. Jay defeated Dexter Jackson to lift the trophy. In 2010, Cutler defeated Phil Heath to win his final Mr. Olympia title. In 2011, Phil bested Cutler for the win. Jay did not participate in next year&#8217;s Mr. Olympia owing to a bicep injury. Cutler made his last appearance at the 2013 Mr. Olympia competition, where he finished 6th. To this day, Jay is best known for his otherworldly quads, which he would showcase with the iconic &#8216;Cutler Stomp.&#8217; Jay Cutler?s Mr. Olympia, and other achievements 1993 NPC Iron Bodies Invitational??

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Who is Ronnie Coleman? </b></h2>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Ronnie Coleman, an American retired professional bodybuilder, secured the Mr. Olympia title for eight consecutive years, solidifying his status as one of the most illustrious figures in bodybuilding history. In addition to his eight Mr. Olympia victories, Coleman holds the record for the most wins as an IFBB professional, amassing a total of 26 titles.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Ronnie Coleman’s early life</b></h2>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Apart from being </span><em><span data-preserver-spaces="true">the King </span></em><span data-preserver-spaces="true">of the bodybuilding world, Coleman has been a loving son, husband, and father. On May 13, 1964, Ronnie Coleman was born to Jessie Benton in the American State of Louisiana. Coleman also has two elder siblings named Alain Lemieux and Richard Lemieux.</span>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">In the early years of his life, Ronnie Coleman was as distant from bodybuilding as possible. In college, he used to play football as a middle linebacker. After completing his graduation with a BSc in accounting, Coleman failed to land a job in the domain. He then started working at a local Domino's Pizza outlet. Due to his poor financial conditions, Ronnie would eat the complimentary pizza every day. In 1989, Ronnie joined as a police officer in Arlington, Texas. Coleman worked as a police officer until 2000 and remained a reserve officer until 2003.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Ronnie Coleman’s wife and children</b></h2>
Throughout his life, Ronnie Coleman has married twice. He first married a French-Lebanese personal trainer, Rouaida Christine Achkar, on 28th December 2007. Before their wedding, the couple had been in a relationship for nine years. However, soon after their wedding, the couple called it quits. It was not until nearly a decade later that Coleman gave relationships another chance. He dated another personal trainer, named Susan Williamson.

After dating for a short time, the couple tied the knot on April 11, 2016.
Additionally, Ronnie Coleman is a proud father to eight kids. His two eldest daughters, Jamileah and Valencia, are from his first marriage with Achkar. He has four children from his second marriage. His two sons are from Williamsons' previous relationship, whereas, the two youngest daughters are fathered by Coleman. The birth information of two of his children is not known.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Ronnie Coleman's net worth 2024</h2>
Bodybuilding icon Ronnie Coleman during his prime days, had many sponsorships and endorsement deals. However, owing majorly to various surgeries and depleting physical health, Coleman now does not endorse anyone else's products anymore. But he has not stayed completely away from connecting with the public through products. Coleman launched his product line called the Ronnie Coleman Signature series in 2011. Myo-Blitz, Resurrect-PM, Testogen-XR, and Pro-Antium are some of his products. As of 2024, Ronnie's net worth is estimated to be around $2 million.

Despite the contentious debate surrounding his use of steroids, Ronnie Coleman has adeptly grown his wealth through diverse revenue streams. His lucrative sales of training videos have played a pivotal role in bolstering his net worth. Furthermore, he has garnered approximately $500,000 from lucrative endorsement agreements.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Ronnie Coleman’s career timeline</b></h2>
Ronnie Coleman's journey in bodybuilding is a tale of remarkable achievements and an unwavering pursuit of excellence.

Commencing in the early 1990s, it was in 1998 that he secured his inaugural Mr Olympia title, signaling the commencement of a new era in bodybuilding. His unparalleled dominance in this competition endured, claiming the title for an unprecedented eight consecutive years, spanning from 1998 to 2005.

Throughout his competitive career, Coleman amassed numerous victories. His triumph at the Canada Pro Cup in 1995 marked his initial major professional win, laying the foundation for subsequent successes. Notably, his exceptional performance in the Arnold Classic, another esteemed event in the bodybuilding realm, solidified his legacy as a formidable athlete.
<div class="jsx-1883686743">
<div class="jsx-3277320032 es-image-loader-aspect-ratio"><img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" class="jsx-3277320032" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/DG5Mxt5UMAARXlD.jpg" /></div>
</div>
In 1991, Coleman won one of the most coveted amateur bodybuilder competitions in the world. He won the crown at the 1991 Mr. Universe competition, automatically qualifying for the biggest competition of them all – Mr. Olympia. But success did not come easy here. In his first year of competing in Mr. Olympia, Ronnie did not even rank. He finished in 15th place in 1994. The following year, Coleman improved by five places and finished 10th. In the coming years, Coleman kept improving his ranks at a steady pace.

In 1998, when Dorian Yates retired, Kenneth Wheeler was the favorite to win the coveted title. But Ronnie had other plans as he edged Wheeler by three points to win his first-ever Mr. Olympia title. By doing so, he also became only the 10th man to win the competition. For the next seven years, Coleman successfully defended his title. The eight consecutive titles meant Coleman would tie Lee Haney to become the winningest Mr. Olympia ever. In 2006, Jay Cutler defeated Ronnie to dethrone 'The King,' who eventually retired in 2007.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Ronnie Coleman’s partnerships and endorsements</b></h2>
Ronnie Coleman garnered sponsorship from numerous companies, such as ABB, MetX, and Weider, in 2005. The same year, he also signed a multi-million-dollar contract sponsorship deal with Bio-Engineered Supplements &amp; Nutrition, Inc. (BSN). Along with these he also signed up to model on the front pages of several fitness magazines, including Flex and Muscle.
Featured on the covers of major bodybuilding magazines, he traveled globally for speaking engagements and promotions, presenting a plethora of opportunities throughout his career. Notable videos showcasing his training and daily routines include "The Unbelievable," "The Cost of Redemption," and "On The Road."

Filmmaker Vlad Yudin, renowned for "Generation Iron," created a documentary titled "Ronnie Coleman: The King," which is available on Netflix.

In 2011, the eight-time Mr. Olympia ventured into entrepreneurship with the establishment of his startup, Ronnie Coleman Nutrition. Drawing on years of experience with top-tier supplements, he introduced the Ronnie Coleman Signature Series in 2012, featuring a range of sports nutritional products. A decade since its inception, the company has become a key player in the industry, offering notable supplements like the Yeah Buddy pre-workout powder, King Test 8X, and King Whey Protein. Their product lineup extends beyond sports-specific supplements to include everyday items like multivitamins. Additionally, the company sells energy bars and a variety of apparel, including t-shirts, hoodies, headgear, and tank tops.

The living legend had been living in a 3040-square-foot house at 706 Gentry Drive in Arlington, Texas. Last year, he announced that he was selling his home to move to a bigger space and listed it on the Redfin real estate website for $495,000.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>A history of injuries sustained by Ronnie Coleman </b></h2>
Despite being a successful bodybuilder, Coleman has struggled with body injuries throughout. He first hurt his back while powerlifting when he was in high school. This was followed but another injury while playing football in college. But, a major blow came when Coleman herniated a disc while working out in 1996. Furthermore, not attending to the injury and only visiting a chiropractor to relieve the pain worsened Coleman's condition. It wasn't until his retirement in 2007 that the bodybuilding beast decided to seek medical help.

</div>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Since then, Ronnie Coleman has undergone 13 surgeries, performed on his neck, hips, back, shoulder, etc. These surgeries also include two hip replacement surgeries. Moreover, years of high-intensity workouts and multiple surgeries have resulted in Coleman losing his mobility partially. However, the fighter in him hasn't given up yet. Coleman believes that with his determination he'll be able to heal himself and walk again. Furthermore, to aid the process, the King has also resorted to stem cell treatment.</span>
