Apart from being one of the best bodybuilders in history, Arnold Schwarzenegger is also known for his exceptionally kind nature. For the star that he is already, he has got enough fame and coverage, however, that in no way has made him arrogant. Rather, his becoming rich only adds up to benefit those in need.

From not accepting his governor’s salary of $175000 per year, and donating it to charity, to signing the bill creating the nation’s first cap on greenhouse gas emissions in 2006, his contributions have been versatile. He never thinks once before helping out others, and his recent revelation in an interview is a standing testament to it.

In his latest interview with Rich Eisen for an episode of The Rich Eisen Show, Arnold Schwarzenegger shared his journey into the world of bodybuilding and how he got all the fame from being the Terminator. He also promoted his new book, ‘Be Useful’. As the two were caught up in a candid conversation, Arnie also shared a story of selling a $200 garment for $50000.

He stated that they had arranged for an auction for an after-school program for the kids. It was in that auction that he put on one of his jackets. He said, “We went up to $7 million this year for an after-school program so the kids have a program after school after 3:00 between 3 and 6, and one of the things that the auction off was one of those jackets and it went for $50,000”
