How To Become A Millionaire Strongman

[@michaeloates5804]

Half a million dollars for winning 10 competitions, is about 2 weeks wages for a decent footballer, crazy world.

[@--SPQR--]

It's not crazy at all. Flip the viewership numbers and the roles will be reversed.

[@everythingstrength1485]

​@--SPQR-- you're right ...all about putting asses in seats

[@DutchDread]

@@--SPQR-- It's a crazy world that the numbers AREN'T reversed since soccer is shit and soccerplayers should earn less than teachers.

[@ParzifalPip]

If you are trying to work out what is really important, being strong has always been and will always be critical to mankind. Football, which I love, incidentally, won't last 300 years.

[@mykiman5955]

Its also crazy as a fully qualified Dr or surgeon would take between 2 and 5 years to earn what a strongman earns and they do something which is actually worthwhile in the scheme of things

[@JaceLovesStrength]

And if you DON'T WIN, that figure plummets even more. Moral of the Story: the guys get into this because they love it, not to get rich. That being said, if you're a young competitor coming up and you want to make good money and provide your family, concentrate on being entertaining, likable, and creating enough content to generate a following to attract good sponsorships and market yourself.

[@grimnir9274]

So sad that being a good athlete isn't enough, you have to be an annoying "influencer" to make the real money

[@JaceLovesStrength]

@@grimnir9274 I don't disagree, but it is the world we live in. And it's only magnified when you're a professional athlete in a very niche sport. I love strength sports more than anything else on earth, but the majority of people don't care. So, you have to market yourself to those who do.

[@richliving1619]

1) win or place high consistently 2) create a social media presence for marketing 3) build a brand off said marketing 4) profit

I'm a Kiwi and we have thousands of Scottish migrants here, so Scottish accents are no trouble for me/us. But I would love to see you guys do a full time commentary role. The looks on the faces of other commentators and the public would be priceless!

[@AbsoRuud76]

Their accents aren't very thick, IMO. But to people who aren't used to it it can be a bit tricky!

[@mihailopopovic4759]

Strongman is for sure one of the most underrated sports

[@billysuter]

75k for WSM is a joke in 2024. Should be twice that.

[@petershortland478]

Maybe BUT WSM actually gives u exposure from sponsors MORE than the other 3 at end of the day sponsors/brand is what keeps you afloat

Thats great numbers for Winning everything, but what is the comparison for coming a consistent 3rd ? I bet the numbers drop off quite considerably. Always good to see you pair on the podium though. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@whoeverit9087]

Tongue firmly in cheek but,, they could have just showed Hooper's bank statement. Done..

[@kizzmitten1]

Winning all those comps should just about cover the cost of diet and physio, ha ha. Spicy!

[@douglasnisbet1189]

So Mitchell Hooper is doing well enough this year! In reality though I don't see how any current strongmen except Tom, Mitch and Thor can be earning comfortable money. Surely the likes of Luke Richardson, Trey Mitchell, Lucas Hatton etc need an outside job.

[@MrSimonson]

Imagine how awsome it would be if mark felix turned up to plaster your house 😂

[@JohnDuffy-bq8wg]

[@Livlifetaistdeth]

Minus the food budget I'm surprised you guys can survive. Actually now I'm curious, how much does food cost per year for the strongest Brothers in the World?

[@Adam-bw6dj]

Thats called sponsorship mate and social media platforms. They don't rely on competition payouts to survive.

[@AlejandroSanchez-pl6jw]

And insurance

It’s funny that Big Loz and his wife had to say how Giants Live raised their purse to 40k a show.

[@Adam-links]

WSM has to pay 30 athletes correct? Guess that’s why winners share is less then the others?

[@jimbothebull3563]

All the hard work put in by the guys to get to these competitions the winnings are tiny . Sponsorship from big companies to start being looked at. I find its quite expensive to watch especially when your on low income. I think sometimes the Strongman promotion is too inward. Ived watched it since was a kid and im 50 now so Ive seen how its grown very very slowly. Why dont they have a Strongman Leagues in each country so that can be used as a step up to the bigger Strongman events . A tv channel on satellite set at a low subscription so people can keep up with whats going on around the world. The bottom end of Strongman needs sorting out.I know money plays a part in getting set up but it needs looking into.

Great video guys and very funny stuff! So in other words only a cyborg could win close to a million dollars a year in strongman. lol

[@EdwardHinton-qs4ry]

No wonder most strongmen have a KZbin channel. YT revenue is far better in a year after a certain amount of subs.

[@Couldhavebeensomeone]

And the cost of recovery from injuries, the world isn't fair, and these promoters need to pay out more. I will always be a supporter

[@clintonwarren7871]

I assume you must have to pay for your travel to all these comps. The travel + the grocery bill + equipment overhead… I hope the sponsors pay the boys well!

[@joeclark2201]

They don’t pay for any of that for the competitions

[@KasumovMedia]

If mr. olympia and arnold can cough up 500 and 600k for top bodybuilding place, these strongman shows should be able to squeeze out at least 200k per win. This is at least equally hard work.

[@BulkBrogan.]

Brian Shaw really seems to be paying as much as possible while still being able to run a business so SMOE is good, Rogue Invitational does profit sharing including bonuses on merch sales at the event so they're probably paying as much as they can for that, Arnold's biggest event is now the strongman so they should be paying 100k+ really for such a massive event, and for sure the most lame is World's strongest man they make multi millions across their global TV deals so they really should pay something crazy like 200-300k if they paid a percentage of profits the same way Rogue Invitational and SMOE do it'd probably be like 700k but they are a corporate business so to account for them being a bit greedier and having more people to pay they should be around $200k But also it's way higher than years previous and all food and travel expenses are paid for for all athletes So there is a degree of gratitude that we should have because it's that much better than it used to be and is continuing to be better every year

[@prepped8551]

its not about hard work, it's 100% about the level of interest from the public.
