He wasn't careless he was overly cautious. Imagine how many businesses failed that he also said no to.

I actually met Tom Platz at an airport in California. I immediately recognized him and asked him if he’s the bodybuilder Tom Platz, he smiled, said yes and shook my hand. Real nice guy.

I need to find Tom and ask him if he wants to invest in my company and hope he says no so I can be certain it succeeds

Gold Quads and Star Quads... don't worry Tom you'll always be rich in our hearts, your advice and honesty are priceless..

If each person didn't fug up any opportunities, we'd all be billionaires.
Success is built upon the bones of a thousand failures.

He wasn't careless with his money, he just wasn't a risk taker.

[PeterSahota-bf]

He enjoyed his life.
He will have memories with his corvette

[manuelavila]

...after all he is the inspiration of many in bodybuilding...

[VisionTruthFN]

He's a legend and he's definetly not broke. So he's chillin.

[Vixinaful]

He's still humble enough to admit his mistake.

[druid]

It's still gambling. You'll never know what brings you more money and what drains your money. It's easy to say afterwards that he should've invested.

[donataspuidokas]

He still made a lot of money, he values life more than money

[AnasKhan-mhct]

There is no bodybuilder born who will have better legs than tom plats

Tom's a great Dude. And, Tom is honest as a Saint! He is a Phenomenal Bodybuilder, and like the great Mike Mentzer, Tom was cheated out of winning the Mr.O
And, as he says here, he missed out on being a Partner in the legendary Gold's Gym, and also on Starbucks. But, Tom is a wise and well balanced Dude. He never allowed these mistakes, or bad luck, to really harm his Life. Tom knows how to get up quickly, when he suffers a knockdown. One of the hallmarks of a great champ! I love to hear Tom speak, or lecture. Tom is a authentic Leader, and a huge inspiration!
