Arnold bagged a lot from the following Terminator franchises.

For the 2nd movie, with only 700 words spoken, he took home $15 million! The 3rd installment got him more than $30 million.

After that, he got into politics, and as a governor, his salary was $175,000 per year, which he gave it all to charity, though.

Arnold Schwarzenegger: House & Cars

House

Today, the veteran actor resides in a magnificent mansion stationed in LA that faces the canyons and the pacific ocean alongside his family and beloved pets.

The Mediterranean-styled house sits on more than 2.5 acres of the finest ground in LA and boasts 7 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, chef’s kitchen, a private gym, tennis court, large pool with spa, and a lot more!

The man purchased the 14,500 square foot house back in 2002 for a hefty price of 5.1 million.

Before this mansion, he had 2 other homes that where he spent a fraction of his life.

In 1968, he purchased the 10,000 square foot  Mediterranean villa in Palisades, LA.

Equipped with 9 bedrooms, 9 and a half bathrooms, spacious kitchen with breakfast bar, a duck pond, landscaped gardens, and more, this place wasn’t any short of royalty either.

However, in 2003 he and his wife moved out, and 8 years later, it was seen on the market for sale.

After a while, in 2013, Arnold finally sold it for a stupendous price of $12.9 Million! 

Arnold moved to the states at the age of 21 years.

Since then, he’s made several investments particularly, in real estate, that have now racked a complete worth of almost $300 million! 

He started with $27,000 in 1968 when he first arrived.

He bought his first 6-unit apartment in California for $214,000. A year after, he sold the property for $360,000.

Afterward, he moved on to trading 12, 36, and then 100 unit buildings.

Doing so gained him enormous profits, and by the time he was 25, he was already a millionaire in the real-estate business!

Cars

If you haven’t guessed it yet, the terminator is a huge admirer of cars, in particular hummers.

Over the years, he’s owned a LOT of cars, and what’s more, is that he even has a freaking tank!

Schwarzenegger purchased the M47 Patton tank for a sum of $20,000 in 1991/2.

He basically used this entertainment purpose, usually crushing cars and, other times, used it for charity.

He was the first civilian in the US to purchase a Humvee and has was absolutely in love with this vehicle.

So much so that the Humvee’s manufacturer had to launch two civilian variants of the vehicle in 1992.

Besides that, he had a Bugatti Veyron, which was just a plaything for Arnold, and he sold it after only 1,000 miles of riding it for $2.5 million. 

Other than that, Arnold surely admires Bentley a lot. The Bentley Continental GT worth around $320,000, Bentley Continental GTC, and Bentley Arnage have all been in Arnold’s garage at some point in time.

Also, Mercedes is another brand that often comes up when mentioning Arnold’s collection. Mercedes Benz Unimog and Mercedes Benz SLS AMG Roadster are among his prized collectibles.

Furthermore, the list features powerhouses like the Dodge Challenger SRT8, Custom Audi R8, Porsche Turbo, Custom Keisel  Electric G500, Excalibur, Caddilac Eldorado, and Tesla Roadster.

In addition, he even has a Harley Davidson Fat Boy, which is a pretty sweet ride, and it really suits him well too.

Arnold Schwarzenegger: Lifestyle & Vacation

Lifestyle

He’s been a bodybuilder, a man who continuously works to better his physique, can’t just stop his daily routine of what 50 years in an instant.

Working out, following a strict diet, using steroids in his early career, and affection for cigars have taken a toll on him.

And well, he still keeps this regimen going despite having an attack a couple of times already.

Despite all that, he is still going pretty strong.

He still works out a lot, follows a definite plan, and whenever free, he uses social media to share his thoughts and ideas too.

Vacation

Being a model, actor, and above all, a governor, vacationing is something that’s always been a part of Arnold’s busy schedule.

From Hawaii to Paris, to Japan, this man has probably been to most of the exciting countries scattered throughout the world.

All mostly through his line of work, but well, you gotta enjoy the perks too.

Often, he can be seen vacationing in Hawaii.

One time, when he was on vacation with his family, back in 2004, he even saved a swimmer in distress.

If he’s not with his family, he can be seen in different places with his current girlfriend, Heather Milligan, with whom he’s been to Tuscany, the Alps, Pisa, and many other places.

During this phase, he donated $1 Million to the Frontliner Responders Fund, a funding page that provides health workers with gloves, masks, and other gear.

AIDS & HIV, Alzheimer’s Disease, Children, Diabetes, Disaster Relief, Education, Environment, Family/Parent Support, Health, Poverty, Slavery, Human Trafficking are causes that he’s actively supported.
