As of 2021, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s net worth is estimated to be $400 million.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is an Austrian actor, producer, businessman, investor, author, philanthropist, activist, politician, and former professional bodybuilder.

Schwarzenegger is one of the most popular bodybuilders of all time; and even if you don’t follow the sport, you will know who he is.

Early Life

Schwarzenegger was born on July 30, 1947, near Graz, Austria. Schwarzenegger’s childhood was far from ideal. His father, Gustav, was an alcoholic police chief and one-time member of the Nazi Party, who clearly favored Arnold’s brother over his gangly, seemingly less athletic younger son.

Gustav is reported to have beaten and intimidated Schwarzenegger and, when he could, pitted his two boys against one another. He also ridiculed Schwarzenegger’s early dreams of becoming a bodybuilder. “It was a very uptight feeling at home,” Schwarzenegger later recalled. So uptight and uncomfortable, in fact, that Schwarzenegger would later refuse to attend the funeral of his father, who died in 1972, or his brother, who was killed in a car crash in 1971.

Career

Schwarzenegger said that he stumbled upon a bodybuilding magazine when he was young, and he was mesmerized. He read the magazine faster than he’d ever read anything else.

Arnold’s first competitive win was when he was 18 years old, in the Junior Mr. Europe contest. Since then, he became addicted to competing and went on to win a large number of trophies and competitions, which you can learn more about in the next section.

During his bodybuilding career, he won 5 Mr. Universe competitions, and 7 Mr. Olympia competitions; a number which Phil Heath has just tied with.

After a very successful career in bodybuilding, Schwarzenegger cracked his way into the movie business. Even after people had told him that he wouldn’t be a good fit for movies; due to his size, and his Austrian accent.

Yet, he starred in many roles, including the most notorious role as the ‘Terminator’, where he coined the catch phrase “I’ll be back!”.

He always aimed for the top, and continued to climb the ladder, subsequently becoming the Governor of California from 2003-2011.
