Biography

  • One of the highest paid actors in Hollywood history, Arnold Schwarzenegger has earned some $500 million (before taxes and fees) in paychecks and profit-sharing deals from his movies.
  • He's made even more from early bets on everything from California real estate to stakes in some of the world's most valuable brands.
  • One of his best bets: Buying a minority stake in fellow billionaire David Booth's Dimensional Fund Advisors when it was managing $12 billion in assets.
  • Founded in 1996, DFA now has $777 billion of assets under management.
  • Other valuable investments include a piece of Easton Town Center, the Columbus, Ohio mall created by billionaire Les Wexner, and equity in the Waldorf Astoria hotel in Los Angeles.
  • Today, Schwarzenegger continues to own several businesses: film and production company Oak Productions, Fitness Publications Inc and film and trademarking holding venture Pumping Iron America.
  • Between 1970 and 2019, Schwarzenegger churned out around 50 films that made $5.5 billion at the box office.
  • Schwarzenegger had a costly divorce in 2021 from Kennedy family member Maria Shriver; he could be worth nearly double his current fortune if the pair had a prenup.
