It's no secret that Arnold Schwarzenegger has received serious fees for the biggest roles in his career, and if anyone thinks that the incredible $30 million for the third Terminator is the ceiling, then this is a big mistake.
Surprisingly, Arnie's biggest financial success is connected... with a comedy called Twins. At the time of 1988, Arnie was not such a world star, especially since his participation in the comedy left a number of concerns. To dispel them, Arnie agreed to completely forgo his salary in exchange for a share of the profits.
Twins collected a solid $216 million, and in the end, Arnie's share was also a solid $35 million. Arnie himself called this adventure one of the best decisions in his career, which in turn prompted him to try his hand at other comedy roles.
