When contemplating the richest Hollywood actor for 2025, it’s unlikely that an actor whose last big production was in 2019 comes to mind.
But, surprisingly that is the case, ahead of big box office draws such as Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Ryan Reynolds or Ryan Gosling, it’s Arnold Schwarzenegger who leads the way in the listing according to a recent study from Esquire Magazine.
The Austrian born has a net worth of 1.49 billion dollars and despite his celluloid absence in recent years, the former Mister Universe has by invested his earnings into real estate, from his earliest days as an actor.
He now now owns a vast real estate empire along with a 5% stake in one of the world’s biggest investment firms.
However, Arnie fans who pine to see the 77-year-old on the silver screen are in for an imminent treat with two films scheduled for release in the near future (2025/2026): Kung Fury 2 and The Man with the Bag. These will be Schwarzenegger‘s first movies since he appeared in Terminator: Dark Fate (2019).
