As a young boy in post-war Austria,life was hard for Arnold Schwarzenegger.
But then, Schwarzenegger also pointed out, “I was rich because I had a dream.”
Ever since he could remember, Schwarzenegger’s dream had been to become the best bodybuilder in the world.
Soon, he would also get the attention of the late Joe Weider, the father of bodybuilding.
Not long after, Hollywood also came calling.
Schwarzenegger would also later venture into politics,taking on the role of governor of Californiapro bono.
After his political stint, he eventually returned to acting.
By then, estimates indicated that Schwarzenegger was already worth anywhere between $400 and $450 million.
The Hollywood legend also boasts of a lavish lifestyle to match his fortune.
As he found more success, Schwarzenegger often wore a pair whenever possible.
He even kept his cowboy boots on while serving as California’s governor.
He didn’t see the point of dressing up like every other politician.
“Of course, I continue to wear cowboy boots, three times a week on average.”
After all, the Hollywood legend had already amassed quite a collection by then.
She also made a pair of patriotic boots for the former governor, which cost $11,000.
In the past, Schwarzenegger and his tank were practically inseparable.
When he wasn’t driving it, he was stashing the weights he lifted in between drills inside it.
When Schwarzenegger ended his military service, the tank also underwent decommissioning.
In the Austrian Army, that meant burying the vehicle underground.
Upon hearing from the actor, the Austrian Army dug his tank out and restored it.
The tank itself was free.
Since then, Schwarzenegger has been driving around in his old tank for a good cause.
“I bring kids out here from the after-school programs,” Schwarzenegger told host Jay Leno.
“When they stay in school their reward is to come out here and drive tanks with me.”
In the past, the actor also used his tank to raise money for a good cause.
Since then, he knew he had to have one.
“He just went ape for that machine.
Undeterred, Schwarzenegger set up a meeting with Humvee maker AM General.
This came to be known as the Hummer.
That said, he gave up some units and only kept four around.
Meanwhile, back in 2017, Schwarzenegger was already thinking about turning his fourth Hummer into an electric vehicle.
Not long after, he teamed up with Kreisel Electric to make one.
Instead, he has an entire car collection to choose from.
Among these is a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster that comes with a powerful 6.2-liter V8 engine.
Estimates indicate that the car is worth at least $180,000.
The Speed variant boasts a 6.0-liter twin-turbo engine that cranks out 633 horses.
Estimates indicate that the one belonging to Schwarzenegger costs as much as $320,000.
Schwarzenegger later put up the car for sale in 2014.
“I can get my own yacht.
That’s not my trip.
I can’t even relax under those circumstances,” Schwarzenegger later explained during an interview withPeople.
The yacht can easily accommodate up to 75 guests, which is perfect for Schwarzenegger’s entourage.
What’s more, clients can also arrange to have some food catering onboard.
Renters can also have an oyster bar or grazing station set up.
Cigars were even a main feature in “The Terminator” star’s former restaurant, Schatzi on Main.
As an up-and-coming bodybuilder, he often smoked Virginians.
Since then, he’s been smoking them.
“Your wife can’t complain about your cigars,” Schwarzenegger once pointed out while speaking withCigar Aficionado.
He also sometimes enjoys Davidoff Havanas Dom Perignons cigars, which already ceased production.
Since then, a box would sell for at least $3,000.
But that’s exactly what happened next.
The watch became a huge hit.
It is valued at around $30,000.
Since then, Schwarzenegger has also amassed quite a watch collection.
These include a couple of Rolex watches that are valued anywhere from $28,000 to $50,000.
As it turns out, he likes to splurge on people around him too.
And sometimes, the actor’s spending habits can also stir some controversy.
Baena was working as a housekeeper for the Schwarzeneggers when she ended up in a relationship with the actor.
Over the years, Schwarzenegger has also provided financial support for Baena’s family.
According toTMZ, the actor paid the bill for the party venue, decorations, food, and entertainment.
He even booked a limo service too.
Schwarzenegger also attended the party, along with his family.
He has an extensive real estate portfolio, which includes a Los Angeles animal sanctuary

Arnold Schwarzenegger may love to splurge on fancy cars, watches, and cigars.
But the Hollywood legend also knows the value of making key investments to secure his future.
And for him, there’s no better place to start an investment portfolio than in real estate.
That’s how Schwarzenegger made his first real fortune.
Over the years, he has also gone on to expand his residential portfolio.
Schwarzenegger’s main home is located in the swanky Pacific Palisades neighborhood.
Spread over 2.5 acres of land, the home boasts uninterrupted views of the Pacific Ocean.
Aside from this, reports have also indicated that Schwarzenegger has a home in Sun Valley, Idaho.
The Hollywood legend also needed his own private jet, and he had a rather practical reason why.
And while he did get a jet, the actor still appreciated commercial travel.
His goal to cut his carbon emissions also motivated the actor to avoid flying private when possible.
That said, he still likes to keep it luxe and opts to fly in first class.
