For decades, bodybuilding has been a flourishing industry. From hosting champions like Frank Zane to churning out actors like Arnold Schwarzenegger, it is a field to look up to. Contests like Mr. Olympia have given many legends, like Ronnie Coleman and Jay Cutler. However, a question plagues people’s minds: Is bodybuilding a sport? Four-time Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler might have the answer to this. Jay Cutler has dominated the bodybuilding world since he defeated 8x Mr. Olympia, Ronnie Coleman. The icon, in fact, went on to win the championship four times before gracefully retiring. Being an experienced personality in this field, he once answered the most common question about bodybuilding. That is whether or not it is a sport. JAY CUTLER CALLED BODYBUILDING A SHOW Cutler [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jay-cutler/]gave props [https://www.musclenet.com/jaycutler.htm#menu] to the industry for giving him many opportunities. He mentioned how bodybuilding enabled his character development and built a better future for him. Back then, the legend vouched to make use of his bodybuilding background to gain more opportunities for himself. However, he had some strong opinions about whether the industry should be classified as a sport.

(Photo by Matt Sullivan/Getty Images) The bodybuilding legend mentioned that the industry was a means of entertainment for the audience. He justified, “I consider bodybuilding more of a show rather than a sport”. Bodybuilders are the showrunners of the industry.

While it requires an extraordinary amount of physical exertion in the form of a workout, it is still a form of entertainment, at least as per Cutler. JAY’S THOUGHTS ON THE GROWTH OF THE INDUSTRY He was also aware of how the industry was dying back then. The amount of dedication and discipline required is not child’s play. Bodybuilders also have to sacrifice a lot and make many lifestyle changes. Therefore, people hesitate to pick up this as a career. Something that hasn’t changed with Jay Cutler since this interview is his vision. Even back then, the legend spoke of how bodybuilding needs to become “mainstream”. His tendency to think big made him a star in this industry. top bodybuilders with the best nicknames [https://www.essentiallysports.com/stories/us-sports-news-from-arnold-schwarzenegger-to-ronnie-coleman-here-are-the-top-bodybuilders-with-the-best-nicknames/]

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>Arnold Schwarzenegger:?</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>Ronnie Coleman:</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>Lee Haney:</li>

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>Jay Cutler's Net Worth 2023</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" />

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.'
<h2>Early Life of Jay Cutler</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.

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.
<h2>Jay Cutler?s family and wife</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.

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.
<h2>Bodybuilding Career of Cutler</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.

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?<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">middle of a controversy</a>?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.

After 2006, Jay won the 2007 Mr. Olympia title as well but could not win the 2008 event. In 2009,<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.evolutionofbodybuilding.net/jay-cutler-mr-olympia-4x/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">?he became only the third bodybuilder</a>?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.'

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.
