Arnold Schwarzenegger has many friends and well-wishers who cared about him throughout his life. After all, the former bodybuilder would not have scaled the success ladder without some help. Scott Minerd, a fellow bodybuilder, and investment advisor was one of his close pals. Minerd passed away recently as a result of a heart attack.

Minerd was the Chief Investment Officer at Guggenheim Partners. The veteran died during his usual gym session at the age of 63. Schwarzenegger offered his respects to his friend in a tweet and briefly mentioned their friendship.

Schwarzenegger was not the only bodybuilder who achieved success in other fields. Minerd began his career as a bodybuilder but quickly shifted to the finance profession. He could bench-press hundreds of pounds while dealing with stocks and money. Minerd grew up with a financial background and never lost his roots. Before joining Guggenheim Partners, he worked for well-known financial firms such as Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley.

In his tweet, Schwarzenegger mentioned how Minerd was not only a fantastic investment advisor but was also a good bodybuilder. The star paid an ode to their bodybuilding past before exclaiming, “he was just a wonderful human being.” The 75-year-old was devastated at losing a good friend in the form of Minerd.
