From Action Star to Comedy King: Schwarzenegger Made $35 Million on 'Twins'

Arnold Schwarzenegger in 'Twins'

Arnold Schwarzenegger made more on Twins than on any other film.

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.
