Regarded as one of the greatest bodybuilders ever, Ronnie Coleman is a living legend. He is a record 8-time Mr. Olympia winner, sharing the feat with Lee Haney. The title of Mr. Olympia was held by Coleman from 1998 to 2005. During this journey, he established his name and suffered from various injuries, like other athletes. Nicknamed as ‘The King’, he is often regarded as another bodybuilding icon besides Arnold Schwarzenegger. Coleman worked extremely hard for his massive and beefed-up physique and even received results as well. Although he was built big and strong, Coleman did not possess an extraordinary height. He stood at 1.8m or 5’10”. Although the height did not pose any such hindrance because of Coleman’s sheer will and determination of performing. He performed so well in his domain that all of his other shortcomings never came into people’s eyes.

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 style="text-align: center"><b>Ronnie Coleman: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, wife and more</b></h2>
<div class="jsx-1883686743">
<div class="jsx-779505921 es-image-loader-aspect-ratio"><img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" class="jsx-779505921" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/ronnie-coleman-fitness-360-return-of-ronnie-header-960x540-1.jpg" /></div>
</div>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Who is Ronnie Coleman?Â </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 Colemanâ€™s early life</b></h2>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Apart from beingÂ </span><em><span data-preserver-spaces="true">the KingÂ </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 Colemanâ€™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 Colemanâ€™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 â€“ 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 Colemanâ€™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.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Ronnie Colemanâ€™s records</h2>
Ronnie Coleman won eight straight Mr. Olympia competitions - matching Lee Haneyâ€™s record. The 'King' was dethroned by Jay Cutler in 2006.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Ronnie Colemanâ€™s major achievements and awards</b></h2>
Renowned for his remarkable combination of size, conditioning, and incredibly heavy workouts, Ronnie Coleman is often hailed as the strongest bodybuilder of all time, pound-for-pound. His outstanding achievements also include a record-setting 26 wins as an IFBB professional. In 1991, he added the title of Mr. Universe to his impressive list of accomplishments.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>A look at the house of Ronnie Coleman</b></h2>
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 style="text-align: center">Ronnie Colemanâ€™s car collection</h2>
Coleman's notable car collection boasts vehicles such as a Rolls Royce Ghost, a Cadillac Escalade, a Hummer H1, a Mercedes-Benz S55, and a BMW 5 Series.
<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>

Ronnie Coleman: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, wife and more  Who is Ronnie Coleman?Â  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. Ronnie Colemanâ€™s early life Apart from beingÂ the KingÂ 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. 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&#8217;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. Ronnie Colemanâ€™s wife and children 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&#8217; previous relationship, whereas, the two youngest daughters are fathered by Coleman. The birth information of two of his children is not known. Ronnie Coleman&#8217;s net worth 2024 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&#8217;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&#8217;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. Ronnie Colemanâ€™s career timeline Ronnie Coleman&#8217;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.  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 â€“ 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 &#8216;The King,&#8217; who eventually retired in 2007.

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.
