The living legend who made himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger is an inspiration to many. From being an action icon to being someone who got himself out of misery, his life is one to learn from. Even with his humble roots, he had big hopes and dreams. The action superstar that we know him as now was not who he was always.

The 75-year-old’s path to success began with his dedication to bodybuilding. However, everything changed once he shifted to the United States. He emerged as a force to be reckoned with. The Twins actor channeled his bodybuilding earnings into thoughtful investments within burgeoning California regions like Santa Monica and Venice Beach during the 1970s.  Furthermore, he expanded his wealth through investments, in stocks, bonds, and businesses.

His investments bore massive fruits as the area witnessed unprecedented growth. By the time his breakthrough role arrived in 1982’s Conan the Barbarian, he had already amassed a fortune exceeding $10 million. And then he went on to give some of the most memorable action characters.
