“There was no money”- $450 Million Rich Arnold Schwarzenegger Recalls How the “Crazy” Mr. Olympia Title Was Not Enough To Make a Living Early 70s

The world will always remember Arnold Schwarzenegger
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/arnold-schwarzenegger/] as a powerhouse. Even
at the age of 76, the actor never ceases to astound his millions of fans.
Whether it is pushing the limits of bodybuilding and winning Mr. Universe at the
age of 20, or winning Mr. Olympia seven times. The actor can undoubtedly
accomplish everything. However, what happened behind the scenes revealed a
different narrative.

In a recent podcast, the Terminator legend revealed the uglier side of
bodybuilding that nobody is aware of.


ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER ON HIS BODYBUILDING DAYS

The Austrian Oak stated on the Fly On The Wall podcast with Dana Carvey and
David Space that when he first arrived in the country, he did not “shy” away
from working despite holding the Mr. Olympia title seven times. He also debunked
the popular belief that bodybuilders made a lot of money by stating that “there
was no money” and that in order to make ends meet, he did “crazy” things like
working in a mail order business and training other’s biceps and chests.



In an interview with Nick Miller in 2022 the actor talked about the current
scenario of the Mr. Olympia contest. He stated that bodybuilders today are
heavily compensated in comparison to his time in the sport. He further slammed
the Mr. Olympia contest for creating various divisions and how it affected the
lives of fellow bodybuilders. Further disclosing a shocking fact that while in
the competition he made only $750, and this was in 1974.

Despite his humble beginnings in the small village of Thal, Austria, the actor
rose to prominence in the glitzy lights of Hollywood. The young boy who came to
America with only $20 in his pocket is now worth much more.


WHAT IS THE NET WORTH OF THE TERMINATOR ACTOR?

The Austrian Oak is currently valued at $450 million. Furthermore, he is not
only an excellent actor but has also worked in a variety of other fields. In
addition, the actor built a real estate empire for himself, becoming a
millionaire at the age of 25. Since his first acting role, the actor has been
investing in real estate, and his property portfolio is currently worth between
$100 million and $200 million.

During a 2014 interview, the actor claimed that, aside from his blockbuster
films Terminator, Predator, and Commando, the biggest check he ever received was
from the comedy blockbuster Twins. He co-stars with Danny DeVito in the film.
They each received $35 million and $40 million in 1988. This film had a
significant impact on his life because it was his first foray into the comedy
genre.
