Ronnie Coleman has made an impact on the bodybuilding world with the shape of his body. He managed to sustain his reputation all through his years in the bodybuilding profession before retiring in 2007.

This article will shed more light on his net worth, his achievements, his career, and his personal life. Hopefully, attention will not only be given to how much he's worth but also to his value too.

Background​
On May 13, 1964, Ronnie Dean Coleman was born in Monroe, Louisiana. He grew up with his 2 sisters and a younger brother; they were all taken care of by a single mom.

He played football excellently in high school and this earned him a football scholarship to Grambling State University. Since he got into school on a football scholarship, he also played football for his school as a middle linebacker. He played well under the coaching of Eddie Robinson for the GSU Tigers.

Ronnie Coleman as a kid

After graduation in 1984, Ronnie had it tough as he couldn't land a job as an accountant even after searching all over the state. He eventually got a job but not as an accountant. He got a job as a worker in Domino's Pizza. While working there, he didn't earn enough even to feed and he had to depend on the complimentary pizza every day for survival.

He quit his job at Domino's and worked as a police officer in Arlington, Texas. He worked as a police officer for 11 years(1989-2000). He picked up another job as a reserve officer from 2000 to 2003.
Bodybuilding Career​
While working as a police officer, Ronnie was advised by his colleague, officer Gustavo Arlotta to start working out at a bodybuilding gym run by an amateur bodybuilder Brian Dobson. It was in that gym that Ronnie started his bodybuilding career. Ronnie got a free lifetime membership with the gym only under the condition that he allows Dobson to train him. At that time, there was an upcoming bodybuilding competition in Texas and Dobson offered to train Ronnie for it. After a series of training and working out, Ronnie came first place in the Mr. Texas bodybuilding competition.

He came first in the heavyweight category and he was also first in the overall categories. Dobson also took part in the competition but he was defeated by his student, Ronnie.

In 1995, Ronnie won his first competition as a professional bodybuilder in the Canada Pro Cup. He repeated this process the following year, then in 1997 he went ahead to win the Russian Grand Prix. Alongside all these, in the mid-1990s, he also participated in powerlifting competitions.

Ronnie wasn't a successful bodybuilder overnight, his Ascension up the success ladder was a struggle for him. He came into the limelight when he participated in the Mr. Olympia competition in 1992 (which is recognized as the most prestigious competition worldwide) although he didn't place. In 1994 he placed 15th, in 1995 he placed 10th, then 6th in 1996, and 9th in 1997 the year Dorian Yates won his last title before he retired.

Ronnie Coleman became the 10th Mr. Olympia titleholder at the 1998 Mr Olympia after competing with Nasser El Sonbaty, Kevin Levrone, Shawn Ray and Flex Wheeler.

Ronnie, after gathering experience in his previous competitions, had had significant improvement. He went with this experience and courage and went on to defeat Wheeler by 3 points for his first Olympia victory.

Ronnie upheld this title all through to the 2005 contest, and throughout these years, he had eight wins consecutively.

In 2001, he set a record of being the first man to win two different competitions; the Arnold Classic and Mr. Olympia. He won the two titles the same year. This record was tied 7 years later by Dexter Jackson in 2008.

In 2006, Ronnie's reign as Mr. Olympia however came to an end. He was defeated by Jay Cutler ( the four-time runner-up in the contest). Jay Cutler finally got his first win too.

That made it the second time in history that the current multi-champion lost his title instead of retiring. The first time was when Arnold Schwarzenegger took the title from Sergio Olivia in 1970. In 2007, Ronnie placed 4th in Mr. Olympia and that was his final appearance.

Ronnie's coming into the limelight as a professional bodybuilder has opened many doors of opportunity for him. His game has led him to endorse many products and he has had to travel around the world to promote many other products.

He has also made many appearances at gym openings in the U.S. His choice of training with free weights instead of machines is so that he can maximize his size. In the course of his career, he has made training videos DVDs which include:


1998 Ronnie Coleman: The First Training Video
2000 Ronnie Coleman: The Unbelievable
2003 Ronnie Coleman: The Cost of Redemption
2006 Ronnie Coleman: Relentless
2008 Ronnie Coleman: Invincible
2009 Ronnie Coleman: The Last Training Video

In these training videos, he gives tips for experienced bodybuilders to simplify their training process. He also warned against excess exertion and improper form.

Coleman is a proud supporter of the Inner City Games, an organization that was co-founded by Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1991. Ronnie received the 2001 Admiral in the Texas Navy Certificate Award; he was given the certificate by the then Governor, Rick Perry. He was congratulated for his excellent achievement in bodybuilding and for encouraging physical fitness.

Ronnie launched a company that supplies sports nutrition products for other bodybuilders.

Age and the heavy and extreme weights Ronnie carried over the years in his career as a powerlifter and bodybuilder took a toll on him. Due to this, he has had different surgeries since 2008.

He had surgery for hip replacements and surgeries for reducing the pain he gets from his damaged intervertebral discs.

Despite his condition, he has not stopped training; however, he can no longer lift heavyweight, only lightweight. The surgeries he underwent cost a fortune (each one costs between $ 300,000 and $500,000). And the result of the surgery didn't alleviate his suffering permanently. I may never walk without help anymore.

Ronnie uses a wheelchair to move about if he has to walk long distances. However, he has said that he doesn't have any regrets regarding the path he took and that the only regret he has is that he wasn't able to do more even as a bodybuilder.

Ronnie's life was documented in the Netflix documentary by Vlad Yudin in 2018.
Personal life​
Not much is known about Coleman's personal life but he's known to be a devout Christian. In his married life, Coleman married his trainer Rouaida Christine Achkar in Beirut on December 28, 2007. She's a French-Lebanese and he first met her at a sports exposition in Paris in March 1998.

The marriage didn't last long as they divorced almost immediately after their marriage. Coleman got remarried Susan Williamson, an American personal trainer on April 11, 2016. He and his wife now reside in Arlington, Texas with their four children.

IIn June 2020, Ronnie came out to say that he may never be able to walk again without help because of the surgeries that didn't yield exactly positive results.

As with other celebrities, Ronnie Coleman also has a thing for cars. With his exquisite taste, he spent his money on some amazing cars. He has a Rolls Royce Ghost, a Hummer H1, a Cadillac Escalade, a Mercedes Benz S55, and a BMW 5 series.

Also, he runs his gym. His gym is estimated worth $200,000. With this gym, he gets to work out as much as he likes and at his convenience.
