yeah. He said in an interview with Tim Ferriss that he saw bodybuilders/actors doing things that they were not comfortable with due to a lack of funds. He was determined that it was not going to happen to him.
When he was getting into amateur competitions, he wrote out a 50 year plan..one of the goals he listed was to be a millionaire before 30..he made it two to three years ahead of schedule. While other actors were waiting tables between gigs, Arnold still had his businesses and his freedom. He is incredible.
If only "steroids" were as magical as you claim. There is responsible use and abuse but you only hear about abuse. It's more than likely Arnold has for the most part lived a clean life. He doesn't eat shit, he doesn't abuse his health, he's always been active, and has great genetics coupled with testosterone and maybe some other substances. It was pretty obvious Arnold and Stallone were always going to age better and be in better than than the average person in their 60's and 70's
Nathanb, nothing wrong with having grey hair when you're fucking 70 Arnold's desire at that age to color his hair while leaving zero grey in fact makes him seem insecure - he's not 30
Man Graham you have so much AWESOME content, very versatile and you let people talk and listen. The most simple stuff makes the biggest differences. Thank you!
***** lmao I'm sorry, this is the importance of grammar! I meant to say "You let people talk, and listen!" referring to other interviewers who constantly interrupt!
I read Arnold's Biography, the entire reason the film industry picked him up was because in the 70s he was heavily promoting Body Building Championships. Trying to get the word out, so he bought time on a talk show. Showed up and talked about Body Building. People thought body builders were idiot neanderthal people. Arnold not only impressed them but got them interested, plus he had such a huge physique at 6ft 2 and 250lbs people couldn't stop staring at him. The dude had the money to buy a few minutes on a talk show just to advertise his business. Imagine what you could do if you could save up and just buy some time on a talk show!
Funny, in his book Arnold admits a real estate lady went out of her way to explain every housing segment in L.A. and she was the one who set him up with his first apartment building. It wasn't his nose, it was a CONNECTION.
Graham Bensinger Yeah more investment interviews please! This and the one with Barkley talking about Jordan and stocks are my favorite two 🤗🤗 and the Kelly Slater one now that I'm thinking of it 🏄🏿♂️
Schwarzenegger was a millionare before he was in a movie, before bodybuilding took off. Schwarzenegger was ALWAYS going to be a success. He plays himself up like a buffoon, but he's shrewd as fuck.
He was not a millionaire and not even famous until he played Conan in the 1980's. Pumping Iron documentary was 5 years earlier abut nobody remembered him a few days after watching it.
***** Yeah, he was a millionare. He rented out a bunch of apartments while having a a successful construction company. Nobody said anything about him being famous, being famous isnt synynomous with being successful.
Love your interviews. Your questions seem well researched and are very interesting and fun. Also how you let the conversation flow and you let the guest talk while maintaining eye contact. You are the man!
He had $ 26000 and paid $ 240000 for the apartment building where did the financing come from ? I think that anyone who had somebody bank rolling them back in the 70s would have been just as successful.
so if the math adds up he paid basically 10% downpayment financed the rest $214,000.00 the average home mortgage interest rate was 8.5% when Arnold probably bought his building at age 23. arnold came to the usa in 1968. from what i can calculate the average mortgage rate in 1970 was around 8.50% assuming he got the 30 year mortgage he would need to pay $1869/month (with property tax/home owner insurance) if just principal and interest 1,645.47/month. from what i can find is that the average cali rent in 1970 was $126/month. so if arnold had 5 units he would only collect around $630/month. he would need to make up for it with his bricklaying business/mail order business/seminars.
I can not believe how young Arnie looks here. He's put on some size, grown some facial hair and got rid of at least 50% of his bouffant hair do and it's taken years off him.
I also made my millions in real estate. I started off with a unit and today have a portfolio i could onli ever dream of. Driving my lambo, reminds me of what i did to get to this stage.
Arnold looks great! He looks younger now than he did 7-8 years ago! This guy has one of the most inspiring stories ever told! Truly a man one should model! Especially when it comes to work ethic and mindset
I think he got here in the 1960s. Lots of people retain their accents, for some reason and with Arnold it is a bit of a trademark, so he probably doesn't want to lose it entirely.
I live in Wisconsin and met a guy yesterday out on the mountain bike trails. Had a thick accent so I asked where he was from and he said Poland, but he's lived in the US for over 30 years. Apparently it stays with you.
He came to the US well past the Critical Period in linguistics. You can never fully lose the accent of your mother tongue if you emigrate in your teens or later.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is a born businessman!! Intelligent, shrewd and balanced, with immense self confidence and will-power, Arnie is a self made man, who broke from the shackles of penury to become a champion bodybuilder, Hollywood celebrity and a multi-millionaire, and not to forget, the Governor of the richest US state!
im lovin the outfit he just doesn't give a damn that's what that's called, there comes a point in a mans life where he just stops caring what people think why, cause hes got already enough momney it doesn't matter to him he could dress up in a rodeo clown outfit and be happy going out cause he just doesn't give a damn hes put in enough work he just likes to watch other people do the stuff now and dress nice
Imagine the Terminator being your landlord and coming by to collect your rent money. Arnold: “Rent is due.” Tenant: “I get paid tomorrow and I swear I’ll give you every penny!” Arnold: “Okay, I’ll be back.”
Arnold's hair looks fantastic for a 69 year old. Ok, we know it's a transplant but still, he looks damn good compared to a lot of people with hair transplants.
You could use some grocery store spectacles. Yes, he's had past transplants and has used a ton of coloring in the past, but he's decided to go the rug route.
southlondon86 Depends on the lighting and from what angle. I once was standing behind Chuck Norris in a Los Angeles restaurant, and his toupee looked like his head was being viciously attacked by a sea otter.
The shame in this great short clip of Arnold is that most people will miss his message. He was a millionaire off of commercial real estate even before he made his 1st movie! Now if a kid from another country can do it so can you. If you want to do business instead of being famous....the choice is yours! He was lucky enough to make it in Hollywood but he didn't need Hollywood for his livelihood! Facts!
Who said he was lonely and didn't have friends or a support system? His history is pretty well known. He came over knowing other body builders. He stayed with some, came to know some of the greats and looked to them for advice. One of his main idols was a body builder who became an actor and that's what he wanted and he always looked to him for advice. He networked and made friends and followed their example. Ultimately it was him that did the work though that's for sure.
+Daniel Buckler it's not an excuse. Arnold spoke about this in 2011. He admitted that it was very easy back then to make money in real estate. He said it was basically a guarantee that you will turn a profit in the real estate game when he first got in.
Mind Gains Thanks for the name calling, but if all those things you mentioned are okay, what about the shoe choice with the laces flying? You're right, my opinion is subjective, so what makes you think you're right and I'm wrong? I have learned since I was a kid that you don't wear such a footwear with blazers and khakis. If he had a stylist, they would never dress him up like this, you know why? cos it is not a good look. He is an amazing guy, one of the greatest achievers of the modern era and that is why I was disappointed by his style. You can say it is okay, but I don't think so at all and I'm sure many people who actually know something about clothes and style will agree with me.
Vanish EditZ What a dumb comment, how do you know what I drive and who says you need to have a bugatti to criticize someone's style? I'm sure you have done it to countless people who are richer than you are so please quit with the hypocritical comment, it's just sad.
I thought this was a interview from 2006 or, he looked younger now lol. I thought he looked bad ass with the grey goatee and stash, but he looks awesome here.
1 interview and 18 parts way to milk those views all is missing is the over the top clickbait titles ex. "Arnorld Schwarzenegger - Life threatning heart surgary do to STEROID abuse?!!" XD
What's the deal with Arnold's hairpiece? Dude's got a zillion dollars and he's wearing *that*? At 1:27 it looks like he took some Velcro and stuck a $10.00 toupee on his head. No, make that $6.99 on eBay, he's always been a smart businessman.
Being rich is one thing. Staying rich is another. Both requires growth in finance but your finance can't grow without sufficient investment in credible platforms.
It doesnt matter how rich you are if you have health issues. Steroids caused bad health. I wouldnt trade places with him for anything. He made money from his bodybuilding which came from his dianabol use.
sneakers and a suit, not to mention white sneakers is appalling. No one said money means class. On the other hand, he probably has someone pick out the clothes for him, to put him back into the mainstream, but at the same time they make him look like an idiot wearing a suit and sneakers. Old school European should have more class
