The bodybuilding [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/bodybuilding/] world is just one step closer to witnessing the champion of Mr. Olympia 2022 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/mr-olympia-2022/]. There was some serious business in the pre-judging round. The finalists walked the stage and sported spectacular poses which satiated the fans’ long wait to watch their favorites at the big event. While the speculations are on the rise about who will secure the top three spots, the popular choice for the title remains the magnificent Mamdouh ‘Big Ramy [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/big-ramy/]’ Elssbiay. Besides the title, going by the most-anticipated outcome of the event, the Sandow trophy, and boundless admiration and love from fans, Big Ramy will get a hefty six-figure check. HIGHEST PRIZE MONEY SINCE THE INCEPTION OF THE BODYBUILDING CONTEST, MR. OLYMPIA The International Federation of Bodybuilding & Fitness (IFBB) conducted the first title hunt in 1965 with prize money of $1000 to the title winner. Thereafter, as the fanbase grew every year, so did the prize money. In 2021, the prize money corpus of 11 contests of Mr. Olympia totaled $1.6 million, which is 0.2 million more than the 2020 sum. Apparently, the title winner of Mr. Olympia gets the highest tranche of the combined total. According to The Sporting News [https://www.sportingnews.com/us/athletics/news/mr-olympia-prize-money-2021-winners/e4qldrnujvzp1n7hox18hfcto], in 2021, Big Ramy won $400,000 with the title. In 2020, the winners of the second and third places, Brandon Curry took home $150,000 and Hadi Choopan, $100,000 respectively.

THE PRIZE MONEY WAS LAST UPDATED IN 2015 ‘The King’ Ronnie Coleman won eight titles from 1998 to 2005. The highest prize money he took home was $150,000. Dexter Jackson won $155,000 in 2008. The numbers saw an impressive rise thereafter due to the increasing popularity of the sport. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Ronnie-Coleman-and-Flex-Wheeler.jpg] The following year, in 2009, Jay Cutler won $200,000.

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.
