About Arnold Schwarzenegger

Arnold Schwarzenegger is an Austrian – American bodybuilder, actor, businessman and politician.

One of the most well-known actors in the world, Arnold Schwarzenegger has occasionally held the title of highest paid individual in the entertainment industry. During the height of his success, he regularly made $20–30 million every film. Arnold has made hundreds of millions of dollars in film salaries over his career. Aside from his movie paychecks, Arnold has amassed a real estate empire. He has invested all of his money in real estate since his early days in the US in the 1970s. Because of these real estate purchases, he was a billionaire by the time he was 25. Arnold probably has between $100 million and $200 million in personal and commercial real estate holdings.

Following his success as an Austrian bodybuilding champion in the early 1960s and his two “Mr. Universe” titles in 1967 and 1968, he traveled to the US with the intention of becoming an actor despite having very little command of the English language. He wrote a best-selling book, got his Bachelor’s degree, worked on his English, and won nearly every bodybuilding title he could during the course of the following nine years.

He started performing in the early 1970s, and his performance in his second movie earned him a Golden Globe. But it wasn’t until “Conan the Barbarian” came out in 1982 that people began to take him seriously. From there, it was a quick voyage to the “The Terminator” movie series, a hugely lucrative career as an action star, and a cunning marriage to John F. Kennedy’s niece Maria Shriver.

Remarkably, from 2003 to 2011, Arnold Schwarzenegger also held the office of Governor of California for eight years.
