Before getting into The King's revelations, here's a look at the Ronnie Coleman net worth and his illustrious bodybuilding career information.

In September 2018, Big Ron underwent back surgery - his third of 2018 and 10th overall. The surgery left Coleman unrecognizable to his fans as he was left on a wheelchair for several months and lost much of his gains during his recovery period. Despite a sad sight for fans of Big Ron, Coleman continued working inside the gym to recover much of his gains back.

The same year, Russian director and filmmaker Vlad Yudin documented the Ronnie Coleman body transformation and his Olympia journey in Ronnie Coleman: The King, which was released on Netflix. Ronnie Coleman now runs his own YouTube channel where he shares snippets of his workouts and does podcasts with several guest athletes.
