Exploring Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Family Wealth: A Look at Net Worth of His Children

Arnold Schwarzenegger has a massive net worth of $450 million. Schwarzenegger earned his wealth after finding success in bodybuilding, Hollywood, and politics. However, the Terminator actor’s children didn’t sit on their laurels and have worked hard to grow out of the shadow of their father’s success. Three of his five children have become multimillionaires as well.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is a perfect example of a rags-to-riches story. Starting from nothing, the ambitious young bodybuilder became a champion, winning a record-setting seven Mr. Olympias. While the sport barely had any money, Arnie earned from sponsorships before becoming a Hollywood star. In Hollywood, Schwarzenegger earned most of his wealth. While Schwarzenegger’s children didn’t have to struggle as much as their father, they didn’t want to take favors for their father as well.

The eldest child of Arnold Schwarzenegger

Katherine Schwarzenegger is Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver’s first child. The 34-year-old was born Dec 13, 1989. However, Katherine grew up with her younger siblings Christina, Patrick, and Christopher Schwarzenegger. While Katherine Schwarzenegger had no interest in acting, she grew up inspired by her parents’ philanthropic sides.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver continue to contribute to several noble initiatives and the 34-year-old developed a passion for the same. Katherine Schwarzenegger is an animal rights activist who has campaigned for the adoption of shelter pets. The mother of two is also an author like his mother and has written multiple children’s books.

The 34-year-old has also spread her message of loving and caring for animals in her books. The animal lover believes that kids should grow up while developing healthy relationships with the animals around them. The author and activist has amassed a wealth of around $10 million through her work. In 2019, Katherine Schwarzenegger also married Hollywood star Chris Pratt.

Pratt has an estimated net worth of around $100 million and the couple currently have a $32 million mansion up for sale. However, while Katherine Schwarzenegger didn’t follow in her father’s footsteps, her bother Patrick did.

Following in his father’s footsteps

Patrick Schwarzenegger was born on Sep 18, 1993. He is the third child and the eldest son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver. Unlike his other siblings, Patrick Schwarzenegger fell in love with cinema. Arnold Schwarzenegger had dreamed of becoming an actor after laying eyes on bodybuilding legend and Hercules star Reg Park. However, Arnie was the Patrick Schwarzenegger’s hero growing up.

Arnold Schwarzenegger often took his family to film sets before becoming the Governor of California. Seeing his father act and Hollywood up close since he was a kid, Patrick Schwarzenegger dreamed of becoming an actor. However, his parents had taught him and his siblings to be self-sufficient. So, the 30-year-old didn’t want favors from Arnie.

While the 76-year-old may have used his connections in Hollywood to ease his son’s path, Schwarzenegger wanted to prove himself. So Patrick Schwarzenegger embarked on his acting career and sat for auditions. The actor first appeared on-screen at 10, in The Benchwarmers (2006). Since then he has appeared in side and lead roles in several projects.

However, after years in the industry, the eldest son of Arnold Schwarzenegger is finally starring in big-budget projects. He recently earned praise for his brief role in the hugely popular The Boys spin-off Gen V. Schwarzenegger has also joined the season 3 cast of the Golden Globe-winning show The White Lotus. So far, the actor has amassed around $8 million in net worth. The 30-year-old shares his passion for acting with half-brother Joseph Baena.

The youngest son of Arnold Schwarzenegger

26-year-old Joseph Baena is the youngest child of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Although he was born after Schwarzenegger’s extra martial affair with his housekeeper Mildred-Patricia Banea, the bodybuilding legend has developed a great relationship with his youngest son. Despite, the messy divorce that nearly tore apart the Schwarzenegger family, Arnie has maintained a great relationship with all his children.

Although Joseph Baena and his half-siblings have never been seen interacting publicly, he shares his passion for acting with his father and Patrick Schwarzenegger. At 26, Baena has also followed in his father’s footsteps to Hollywood. Although the actor awaits his breakthrough, he will share the screen with renowned actors Morgan Freeman and Luke Hemsworth in Gunner.

Besides acting the 26-year-old also shares his love for bodybuilding with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Joseph Baena is the only son of Arnold Schwarzenegger who has delved into bodybuilding. While Patrick Schwarzenegger has buffed up for certain roles, Baena has become a star in the online fitness space. In fact, he has also earned several sponsorships.

Recently Joseph Banea landed his biggest sponsorship with Young LA. Taking his acting credits and sponsorships into account, Baena’s net worth is at least over $1 million. However, not much is known about the other two children of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Christina and Christopher Schwarzenegger 

Born on July 23, 1991, Christina Schwarzenegger is the second child of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver. Meanwhile, Christopher Schwarzenegger is the former husband-wife’s youngest child. Born on Sep 27, 1997, Christopher Schwarzenegger is only a few months older than Joseph Baena. However, unlike their siblings, they are not public figures in any capacity.

In fact, Christopher Schwarzenegger has his Instagram profile set to private. Not much is known about either of their net worths. However, their net worth should be in the millions through family inheritance alone. While Arnold Schwarzenegger is worth $450 million, Maria Shriver is worth $200 million.

So, the children of Arnold Schwarzenegger have also grown up to be ambitious like their father, becoming millionaires through their work.
