But spare a thought for Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, perhaps the bleakest franchise sequel of all time. Which seems like a just fate for the mostly dreadful fourth and fifth entries in the series, Terminator: Salvation (2009) and Terminator: Genisys (2015).
#ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER TERMINATOR 3 MOVIE#
The latest Terminator movie ( Dark Fate) purports to be a sequel only to the first two Terminator films as far as it’s concerned, the movies that followed 1991’s Terminator 2: Judgment Day never happened. It would be a decade before his acting career took off but Arnold was much better off as a result of his investment in real estate than most aspiring young actors in Los Angeles were.T3, flawed as it may have been, went there, in a way no big-budget sequel ever had before.

But that's not what happened, and before he even turned 25 he had a multi-million dollar real estate fortune. If he had gotten started in real estate just a few years later, he never would have been able to afford to get into the game. Over the next thirty years, the California real estate market had exploded. He made $7 million from selling a Nevada office building which he had picked up for next to nothing years earlier. He bought a building in Santa Monica for $450,000 and later sold it for $2.3 million. Every time Arnold sold a building he shrewdly used the profits to buy the next one, avoiding taxes and increasing his potential future profits.Īrnold was buying up apartments, condominiums, and even office buildings in the 1970s in Los Angeles. When he sold that one, he bought a 36 unit building, then a 100 unit building. A year later, he sold it for $460,000 and flipped the profits into another, 12-unit building.

The building cost $214,000 at the time and had four apartments. So Arnold bought the building he was living in. Renting a home wasn't even an option in the Austrian town he grew up in. He didn't understand why everyone was content to live in a rented apartment rather than buying a home of their own. Actually, long before the world knew Arnold as Conan the Barbarian he was already a self-made multi-millionaire dating back to his early 20s.Īrnold made a very astute observation about life in Los Angeles. Today, he's worth $400 million and it's not solely from his acting or political careers. Arnold once said a highlight of his childhood was when his family could finally afford to buy a refrigerator. The house he grew up in didn't have any electricity or hot water. Fortunately, Arnold later did extensive research into his father's activities in the war and didn't turn up any war crimes. His father was the local chief of police and had joined the Nazi Party in 1938 and served in World War II.

Born in 1947, he saw food shortages and riots in Austria. He's had many films that were big successes at the box office, including the "Terminator" franchise, "Conan the Barbarian," "Predator," and "Kindergarten Cop." But his childhood was difficult growing up in Austria after the end of World War II. Famous for his acting career, his two terms as Governor of California, and his high-profile marriage to Kennedy family member Maria Shriver, it's hard to remember that Arnold wasn't always rich and famous. Today, Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of the most recognizable people in the world.
