The new dream of 56 -year -old Arnold Schwarzenegger is to become the governor of California. To act as a candidate in the elections that will be held this fall, Arnie had to reveal all his finances. In America, such a law. Now the whole world will find out what the terminator lives on.
Schwarzenegger's combined state reaches $ 200 million. The list of his financial investments and assets occupies 63 pages. By wealth, he is ahead of other candidates for the post of Governor of the Sunny State, Bild writes today (translation of the article on the website inopressa.ru ).
Schwarzenegger regularly pays taxes. He, like many, invested his millions into shares and real estate. A slight consolation for us, ordinary mortals: it turns out that the terminator can also burn on shares.
In addition, we now know what gifts the former Mr. Universe receives from his friends and business partners.
How much does Arnie have in a bank account?
Schwarzenegger's combined state is approximately $ 200 million. According to the tax return in 2000, Arnold earned about $ 31 million, in 2001 - 26 million. Schwarzenegger, who, incidentally, has a diploma of an economist, invests in shares, real estate and company. Only for the roles in the films "Collatel Damage" and "The Sixth Day" in recent years he received $ 22 million.
Despite his fortune, Arnie did not fall on the list of 400 richest Americans, compiled by Forbes magazine. To do this, it was necessary to have at least 550 million dollars.
Terminator - exemplary taxpayer
From income of $ 31 million in 2000, Schwarzenegger paid $ 11.1 million, and 9.3 million from 26 million in 2001.
Thus, with income for two years, equal to 57.2 million dollars, Schwarzenegger transferred $ 20.5 million, or 35 percent to the treasury.
In Germany, he would have to fork out 50 percent.
Unsuccessful purchases of shares
Schwarzenegger does not trust consultants and prefers to dispose of his condition himself.
He owns stocks of companies such as Pfizer, Target, Wal-Mart, Starbucks, Weight Watchers, Cisco Systems, Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola for the amount of 100 thousand to $ 1 million. It is more careful about Microsoft shares. In them, he invested the amount between 10,000 and $ 100,000.
I must say that on some shares the terminator burned out: he invested $ 68,534 in the Global Crossing telecommunication concern, but the concern went bankrupt. On the shares of AOL, Arnie lost $ 162, and on the shares of the Tobacco Giant Philip Morris - $ 2,606. But such losses he, we are sure, will survive.
Firms and real estate
Real estate once helped the bodybuilder become a millionaire, long before he began to act in films.
At the moment, his money is invested in a shopping center in the city of Ohio. In addition, Arnold owns a shopping center in the city of Santa Monica with a SChatzi's restaurant, which is served by Viennese schnitzeli, traditional Austrian omelets and beer.
Schwarzenegger experienced failure with a network of restaurants "Planet Hollywood". The company made a lot of debts, so in 2000 the actor left this business.
Schwarzenegger also owns the movie by OAK Productions and a company that is engaged in the distribution of video materials for bodybuilding Pumping Iron Productions. Businesses of both firms are estimated at more than $ 1 million each.
Charity
The list of donations is impressive. Schwarzenegger spent almost 5 million dollars on a beneficial goal: the Olympic Games among the disabled people of Special Olympics, the Nelson Mandela children's fund, the September 11 victims, which supports the families of firefighters who died in the building. This is far from a complete list of his good deeds.
Institutions that are engaged in raising "difficult" children, he presented Bentley worth $ 41,500 and Hummer 96th year, bought for $ 85,969.
But most of all money, Arnie donated the Catholic Church. He gave the Archbishop of Los Angeles a whole house, which was estimated at $ 2 million. By the way, Schwarzenegger bought it in 1982 for a third of this amount.
Dear cigars and shirts from Armani
The public and gifts that Arnold Schwarzenegger received from his friends and business partners became the property of the public.
Designer Georgio Armani gave him several T -shirts and a sweater worth $ 2,500.
From Tony Robbins, a specialist in auto training, the terminator received a box of cigar worth $ 250. Cigars (price - $ 500) and a leather belt for $ 400 was given to him by his agent.
An unusual gift was made by the former bodybuilder by the producers of the film "Terminator - 3". They presented Schwarzenegger with a terminator's head worth $ 1,000.
At the same time, billionaire Waren Buffett, the second in the list of the richest people in the world, turned out to be quite squeezed. He gave Arnold a book for $ 75.
