Arnold Schwarzenegger is celebrating his 78th birthday on July 30th. A bodybuilding legend, movie star and former Governor of California, he has had a lifetime in the public eye.
Over more than five decades of a career, Schwarzenegger has amassed a huge fortune. Although he has ventured into various fields – including bodybuilding, politics – the majority of the Terminator star’s wealth comes from his work as an actor. At his peak he was the highest-paid actor in Hollywood and he has used that vast income to facilitate some very wise real estate decisions.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, a website that specializes in estimating celebrity fortunes, Arnold Schwarzenegger has a net worth of $750 million. The site estimates that at the height of his acting career, Schwarzenegger earned between $20 and $30 million per film, making him the highest-paid actor in the world for some years.
According to the website, Schwarzenegger became a millionaire at age 25 thanks to his real estate investments. His commercial and personal real estate portfolio is estimated to be worth between $100 and $200 million currently.
According to the financial disclosure he shared during his 2003 California gubernatorial campaign, Schwarzenegger had a net worth of $200 million. Celebrity Net Worth estimates that, to date, Arnold has earned at least $400 million in film salary alone, before taxes.
One of his highest payments was for the film ‘Twins’, despite not receiving a traditional salary. He and co-star Danny Devito reached an agreement to receive a percentage of the box office, which is estimated to have been between $35 and $40 million. Likewise for Terminator 3, Schwarzenegger received around $35 million, which included both a salary and a percentage of the film’s profits.
Arnold Schwarzenegger vs Sylvester Stallone
As two of the biggest action movie stars, Schwarzenegger and Stallone have developed a fierce competition. While choosing a favorite or the best is subjective, the truth is that Arnold surpasses the “Rocky” actor in terms of fortune. While Stallone has a net worth of $400 million, Schwarzenegger has $750 million.
