For more than three decades, Arnold Schwarzenegger's net worth has been growing in the public eye, as the 68 year-old Austrian-born star has done everything in his life, from body building to being one of the greatest action heroes of all time and even the governor of the most populous states in the U.S.
Arnold Schwarzenegger's net worth began ascending a few years after first moving to the United States in the late 60s from his native land of Austria, as he pursued the American dream by reaching California to train hard at Gold's Gym in Venice, California, getting his first bodybuilding title by 1970, when he was 23 years of age.
Before he switched to acting, Arnold Schwarzenegger's net worth grew from being one of the most important figures in the bodybuilding world, still considering one of the landmarks in the industry, even owning gyms as well as fitness magazines, after he wrote monthly columns on fitness for years during his time as a bodybuilder.
Only a few years back, Arnold Schwarzenegger's net worth began to take a swing at a different direction, as the then-bodybuilder decided to try something new, getting into acting: at first, his German-speaking accent was so thick he had to be dubbed over, which was a common practice at the time; there are tales of a young Mel Gibson being dubbed over his thick Australian accent when he made the first "Mad Max" film.
However, it wasn't until 1982 that Arnold Schwarzenegger's net worth would really depend on his work in films, as he got the title role in the action classic "Conan the Barbarian," leading to a string of films such as "Total Recall," "True Lies" and, of course, his most famous role: "The Terminator," which he reprised this summer alongside "Game of Thrones" actress Emilia Clarke.
Schwarzenegger, who was married to Kennedy family member Maria Shriver for over 20 years (their son Patrick dated Miley Cyrus earlier this year), then went on to pursue his political ambitions, becoming the 38th Governor of California for two periods, from 2003 to 2011 - and now, according to CNN Money, he'll be taking Donald Trump's job as the host of "Celebrity Apprentice"!
Currently, Celebrity Net Worth lists Arnold Schwarzenegger's net worth at an astounding $300 million.
