Arnold Schwarzenegger, the bodybuilding legend, needs no introduction due to his illustrious career. He has won the Mr. Olympia competition seven times and is a well-known action hero superstar. Unfortunately, he and Sylvester Stallone had a feud while he was still actively performing. Due to their exceptional acting abilities, both performers have a lengthy history of disputes. However, there was a time when Arnold had Sylvester’s back when he went through the loss of his beloved son. In 2012, on July 13, Sylvester lost his son Sage Stallone due to a heart condition. ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER ON SAGE STALLONE’S DEMISE Schwarzenegger [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/arnold-schwarzenegger/] shared his grief summed up in words for Sylvester and his family. He said [https://www.mtv.com/news/ow1215/arnold-schwarzenegger-sage-stallone], “My thoughts and prayers are with Sly and his family. Sly has become a great friend over the past couple decades, and I know how important his children are to him. I want him to know that my family and I, and his fans all over the world, support him during this difficult time.” Arnold Schwarzenegger [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/C8J0qTOVoAAtbDh.jpg] Being the father of three sons, Arnold was able to understand the pain deeply. However, the death of his son completely broke Sylvester. Sage Stallone was discovered dead at his home with bottles and prescription medication. In addition, after some tests, sedative hydrocodone was found in his system.

A friend of Sage, George Braunstein, revealed, “We were just joking about how he was going to get married and have a fun marriage. There was nothing dark or depressing, no problems, certainly no financial problems. I’m going to wait to see what the coroner says. I think it was either natural causes or a terrible accident. I don’t think it had anything to do with drugs, he wasn’t that kind of guy. He wasn’t anyone trying to take his life.” SYLVESTER HAVING ARNOLD’S BACK Earlier, a similar gesture was reciprocated by Sylvester in 2011, when he extended support to Schwarzenegger as he was going through a divorce. This happened after Arnold and his ex-wife Maria, who got married in April 1986, went through a separation in 2011. This happened when Maria found out about Arnold’s affair with the housekeeper.

Out of all the competitions in the world, bodybuilding stays apart as a unique one. Athletes train for years to perfect their bodies and develop muscular mass. Likewise, athletes who train for competitions are understood as bodybuilders. In professional competitions like the Mr. Olympia event, bodybuilders stand on the stage, posing for various parts of their bodies. Judges rank them based on their symmetry, muscularity, size, conditioning, posing, and stage presentation. There are various competitions in bodybuilding but the Mr. Olympia contest stands apart from the rest.

<h2>History of bodybuilding</h2>
Old Greeks became the inspiration for people to start bodybuilding. After that, modern competitions came up from various theatrical acts and other circus acts. They held the first <a href="https://www.britannica.com/sports/bodybuilding" target="_blank" rel="noopener">contest</a> in 1903 in New York. The winner of the competition was Al Treloar and dubbed "The Most Perfectly Developed Man in the World." Significantly, organizers saw potential in that and the start of the Mr. America contest showcased some of the best talents. The rise of various bodybuilders across the globe saw the Mr. Universe event come into place and it became the main event for over 25 years. But, the late 1970s saw Joe Weider come up with a grand plan and create the Mr. Olympia contest.

<h2>Mr. Olympia contest</h2>
The contest that captured the minds of fans was the Mr. Olympia contest under the International Federation of Bodybuilding &amp; Fitness. Weider helps these bodybuilders to earn money by competing in events. They held the first competition on September 18, 1965, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York City. Larry Scott won the first two titles. Moreover, the bodybuilders with the highest number of titles are Lee Haney and Ronnie Coleman. In the meantime, to make their entry into the market, the famous documentary, Pumping Iron, saw the buildup to the 1975 Mr. Olympia contest. It helped athletes like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lou Ferrigno, and Franco Columbu.
<h2>Famous bodybuilders</h2>
There are several bodybuilders to grace the grand stage. But some bodybuilders achieved greatness with their astonishing bodies.
<ul>
 	<li><strong>Arnold Schwarzenegger:?</strong></li>
</ul>
The Austrian bodybuilder is one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time. The Austrian Oak is a seven-time bodybuilding champion and became an influential personality in the business. He then transitioned himself to various acting roles, became an investor, and was elected as the Governor of California. Some of his movies like Terminator 2, Commando, Twins, and Conan the Barbarian are some of his classics.
<ul>
 	<li><strong>Ronnie Coleman:</strong></li>
</ul>
Dubbed to be the greatest bodybuilder of all time, Ronnie Coleman put his life and soul into the sport. He is an eight-time Mr. Olympia winner and became the most dominant bodybuilder in the business. Netflix released a documentary featuring his life in the bodybuilding industry. His size and conditioning stood apart from everyone else. A true champion who wore his heart on his sleeve.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Arnold Schwarzenegger: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, Wife and More</b></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Who is Arnold Schwarzenegger?</b></h2>
A man of many talents, Arnold Schwarzenegger is a true icon. Beginning his legendary career as a bodybuilder, Arnold Schwarzenegger cemented himself in different realms, be it acting, business, or politics. He was once the highest-paid actor in Hollywood, with The Terminator being one of his most famous roles.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Arnold Schwarzenegger’s early life</b></h2>
On July 30, 1947, Arnold Schwarzenegger was born to a police chief and a homemaker, named Gustav and Aurelia, in a tiny village in Thal, Austria. He grew up in a Catholic household with strict parents. Though he excelled in sports, academically, he was an average student.

Until the age of 14, he played soccer. It was in 1960 that he took his first step toward becoming a bodybuilder when his soccer coach took him to the local gym and introduced him to the world of bodybuilding.

After finishing high school in 1965, Schwarzenegger enlisted himself in the Austrian military. It was here, that he won his first bodybuilding contest, Mr. Junior Europe. Schwarzenegger has never looked back ever since.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Arnold Schwarzenegger's wife and children</b></h2>
While in Austria, Arnold Schwarzenegger's family consisted of four members. Apart from his parents, Schwarzenegger had an elder brother named Meinhard Schwarzenegger, who unfortunately passed away in a traffic collision in 1971 at the age of 24. Years after moving to America, Arnold Schwarzenegger married television journalist and American royalty, Maria Shriver. The wedding took place in Hyannis, Massachusetts on April 26, 1986.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Arnold Schwarzenegger’s career timeline</b></h2>
In 1960, Arnold Schwarzenegger initiated his weight training journey under the guidance of his football coach, who led the team to a local gym. Making a pivotal decision at the age of 14, he opted for bodybuilding as a career over football. Throughout his early years in bodybuilding, Schwarzenegger actively participated in Olympic weightlifting and powerlifting competitions. He marked his professional debut in 1963 and secured victories in weightlifting contests in 1964 and 1965, along with powerlifting triumphs in 1966 and 1968.

Among his early successes was winning the Junior Mr. Europe contest in 1965, followed by claiming the title of Mr. Europe the next year at the age of 19.

While pursuing his bodybuilding career, Arnold Schwarzenegger also gave his childhood dream a shot. In 1969, he landed the role of Hercules in the fantasy comedy, Hercules in New York. However, due to his thick Austrian accent, Schwarzenegger's dialog in his debut movie was dubbed by another actor.

Nearly a decade later, his bodybuilding-centric sports documentary, Pumping Iron, was released in 1977. The movie was well received not only in Hollywood but in the entire bodybuilding world. This film's success turned him into a household name. Apart from Schwarzenegger's popularity, the film also helped popularize bodybuilding.

After this, Schwarzenegger starred in the 1980s film series, Conan The Barbarian. The first installment of the 3-movie film series was released in 1982. Made on a budget of $20 million, the film performed immensely well, earning $68.9-79.1 million at the box office. However, this wasn't the role that helped him break through in the international market.

The Terminator, released in 1984, was what made Arnold Schwarzenegger an internationally acclaimed actor. With a budget of merely $6.4 million, The Terminator grossed a whopping 78.3 million at the box office. Directed by James Cameron, this science fiction movie was well-received by the audience. Its initial success laid the foundation for its next 5 sequels that were released over the next few decades, the last being in 2019.

While it is undoubtedly one of his most famous movies, <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-bodybuilding-news-millionaire-arnold-schwarzenegger-admitted-having-lost-25-million-on-a-controversial-movie-despite-it-earning-85-million-at-the-box-office-in-1991/" target="_self" rel="noopener">this wasn't the movie that earned him the heftiest paycheck</a>. The 1988 film named 'Twins' was the one that helped him make the big bucks. However, it wasn't a direct paycheck deal. Instead of getting paid while filming the movie, Schwarzenegger had cracked a deal to have a share of 45% of the profits. With the $18 million movie earning $216 million at the theaters, Schwarzenegger's income is estimated to be around $35-40 million dollars.

Despite his enormous success in the film industry, when the time came to move on to his next endeavor, Arnold Schwarzenegger quit acting. In 2003, Arnold Schwarzenegger pulled the plugs on his acting career in order to try his hands at politics.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's political career officially began in 2003 when he ran for the office of Governor of California. It was a recall election that Schwarzenegger won, and took office for the remaining term (2003-2007) of the then-governor Gray Davis. The Republican Party member was re-elected in 2006 and served another term from 2007 to 2011.

Arnold Schwarzenegger made a comeback to Hollywood and featured in movies such as The Expendables 2, The Last Stand, and Terminator: Dark Fate. He continued to uphold his dedication to bodybuilding and fitness through his collaboration with Lorimer. In recognition of his significant contributions, Schwarzenegger was honored with induction into the inaugural class of the International Sports Hall of Fame in 2012.

In 2023, Arnold Schwarzenegger broadened his fitness initiative by introducing a daily email newsletter for subscribers and unveiling his "Arnold’s Pump Club" app. Additionally, he became part of the cast for the Netflix series FUBAR and became the focal point of a three-part documentary titled "Arnold," scheduled for release on June 7, 2023.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Arnold Schwarzenegger’s partnerships and endorsements</b></h2>
Arnold Schwarzenegger endorses several companies, including Dimensional Fund Advisors, Lidl, Planet Hollywood, and State Farm Insurance. I

In 2018, Arnold Schwarzenegger collaborated with basketball player LeBron James to create Ladder, a company focused on developing nutritional supplements designed to assist athletes dealing with severe cramps.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Arnold Schwarzenegger’s achievements</b></h2>
After the Mr. Junior Europe title, Schwarzenegger won the Mr. Universe title in 1967, followed by three more titles, thereafter. After his win in 1967, he moved to California and trained to compete for Mr. Olympia. He was 23 years old when he won his first Mr. Olympia title in 1970. Those rigorous workouts and training fetched him six consecutive Mr. Olympia titles from 1970 to 1975.

After the 1975 Mr. Olympia title, he retired from bodybuilding and shot his documentary, Pumping Iron. However, he soon returned to bodybuilding in 1980 to compete and won his seventh Mr. Olympia title. With this glorious curtain call, Schwarzenegger moved on from his bodybuilding career.

Sylvester Stallone

Sylvester Stallone?s Net Worth 2023, Career, and Family Sylvester Stallone: Net Worth 2023 Till the fifties and sixties, Hollywood had, by and large, kept sports aside. It was an untouchable genre replete with risks. Finally, however, a boxing match forced a struggling actor to write a story woven around a sport. NEW YORK, NEW YORK &#8211; OCTOBER 06: Sylvester Stallone leaves The Polo Bar on October 06, 2022 in New York City. (Photo by James Devaney/GC Images) Reportedly, it took Sylvester Stallone three days to complete the script of Rocky. The drama major from the University of Miami began his career in 1970. But the next six years were arduous, often sending him to the throes of desperation. But on March 24, 1975, he chanced upon a boxing match. Titled Give The White Guy a Break, it was between boxing?s most incredible ever, Muhammad Ali and Chuck Wepner. The former was defending his WBA, WBC, and the Ring titles. Wepner?s underdog push sparked the light in Stallone?s mind to write about a down-and-out boxer who fights a champion, ruling the roost. The rest, as it is often said, is history. Starting in 1976, Rocky, became a six-movie franchise. The new century also witnessed the birth of an off-shoot series inspired by one of Stallone?s characters, ?Creed.?? It would be interesting to note that both franchises involve nine movies. Their total budget is $279 million, but the box office gross income is over a billion! Then there was the highly acclaimed Rambo series and many other notable works for which Stallone is worshipped madly by millions of fans. So how much did Sylvester Stallone make from his film career? According to Celebritynetworth.com, Sylvester Stallone?s net worth roughly stands around $400 million.? For an actor who received a paltry $23,000 for Rocky, Stallone commanded some of the biggest paychecks in Hollywood?s history.? First Blood, 1982 &#8211; reportedly made him richer by $3.5 million. Staying Alive, 1983 &#8211; made $10 million, plus received credits as a producer for the dance musical. Rhinestone, 1984 &#8211; made $4 million and received producer credits for the musical-comedy. Over The Top, 1987 &#8211; the sport-drama written by Stallone fetched him $12 million. Rambo III, 1988 &#8211; the action movie that he wrote helped him take home $16 million. He reportedly received $15 to $16 million for each of the below-mentioned movies: Lock Up, 1989 Tango &amp; Cash, 1989 Rocky V, 1990 Oscar, 1991 Demolition Man, 1993 Judge Dredd, 1995 Assassins, 1995 The Specialist, 1994 The Expendables I, 2010 The Expendables II, 2012 There are other movies, such as the 1996 disaster flick, Daylight, for which he reportedly received $17.5. Both for the 2001 sports-action Driven and the 2002 action-thriller D-Tox, also released as Eye See You, he reportedly received $20 million. Thus, if only the film salaries are concerned, then from 1970 to 2012, Sylvester Stallone should have made somewhere near $300 million.

(Photo by Lisa Lake/WireImage) Additionally, the actor made some significant investments in the real estate sector. Let?s see how some of his ventures in the field fared: Coconut Grove, Florida &#8211; sold in 1999 for $16 million Beverly Park, California &#8211; the 3.5 acres, 20,000 square-foot home was sold in December 2021 to singer Adele for $58 million Vacation retreat, La Quinta, California &#8211; purchased by Stallone and wife Jennifer Flavin for $4.5 million in January 2010, finally sold only by May 2020 for $3.1 million. Palm Beach, Florida &#8211; bought the 1.5-acre property with a 13,000-square-foot mansion for $35.4 million in December 2020. Hidden Hills, California &#8211; a 2.26-acre property purchased in February 2022 for $18.2 million. However, by December, he reportedly put it for sale with a price tag of $22.5 million. Sylvester Stallone?s childhood and early life Sylvester Gardenzio Stallone was born on July 6, 1946, in Hell?s Kitchen, Manhattan, New York City. His father, Francesco ?Frank? Stallone Sr., a first-generation immigrant to the United States from Italy, was a hairdresser-beautician.? While his mother, Jacqueline ?Jackie? Stallone, was of Brittany-French and Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry and worked as a dancer and practiced astrology for a living. ?Sly? had his schooling at Philadelphia?s Notre Dame Academy and Abraham Lincoln High School. Before he left for Miami-Dade College, Stallone attended Charlotte Hall Military Academy in Charlotte Hall, Maryland. From 1965 to 1967, Stallone studied drama at the American College of Switzerland in Leysin, Switzerland. Upon his return, he enrolled in a significant course on drama at the University of Miami. However, after two years, he dropped out to pursue full-time acting in New York. Reportedly, he received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1998 after the University accepted his plea to consider his acting career and experience.?? Sylvester Stallone?s family Sylvester Stallone has been married thrice and became a father to five children. Let?s examine the famous Hollywood icon?s marriages that generated headlines. Sasha Czack, 1974 to 1985 &#8211; Stallone married photographer and former actress Sasha Czack when he was twenty-eight on December 28, 1974. The couple became parents to two boys, Sage Moonblood and Seargeoh. Unfortunately, the couple lost their eldest son Sage Moonblood at age thirty-six in 2012. Brigitte Nielson, 1985 to 1987 &#8211; Soon after his divorce, the Hollywood superstar married Danish model and actress Brigitte Nielson on December 15, 1985. However, this marriage didn&#8217;t last long, and the couple broke up after two years. Jennifer Flavin, married 1997 &#8211; ?Sly? met his third wife, Jennifer Flavin, in 1988. The former model entrepreneur and the superstar were in a relationship till 1994. However, after going through a parenthood issue and a fleeting engagement with actress and model Angie Everhart, Stallone, and Flavin?s relationship bounced back. They got married in May 1997. The couple is proud parents to three daughters, Sophia, Sistine, and Scarlet. SAN MARINO, CALIFORNIA &#8211; OCTOBER 13: (L-R) Sistine Stallone, Jennifer Flavin, Sophia Stallone and Sylvester Stallone attend the Ralph Lauren SS23 Runway Show at The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens on October 13, 2022 in San Marino, California. (Photo by Amy Sussman/Getty Images) Stallone has a younger brother named Francesco Stallone Jr. or, more popularly, Frank Stallone. The younger sibling achieved fame as a musician. Especially his song, &#8216;Far From Over&#8217; from the movie Staying Alive, which was incidentally produced by ?Sly? received a Golden Globe nomination besides achieving a tenth place on the US Billboard Hot 100. Sylvester Stallone&#8217;s movie career In 1968, while studying at the University of Miami, Sylvester Stallone acted in his first project called ?That Nice Boy,? also called ?The Square Root.? He played uncredited roles in the 1969 Robert Redford&#8217;s sports drama Downhill Racer and the Korean war-based M.A.S.H. He finally got an opportunity to play the lead role in the movie, The Party at Kitty and Stud?s, in 1970. After that, he appeared in several films playing uncredited roles for the next few years.? During these trying times, Stallone came up with the idea of Rocky. The movie went on to become a massive commercial success. It catapulted the struggling artist into the Hollywood A-listers. It received ten nominations during the 49th Academy Awards and won the award for &#8216;Best Picture&#8217;. 1978, Stallone acted in two movies &#8211; F.I.S.T and Paradise Alley. But come 1979, the much-anticipated sequel to Rocky was released. The second edition also proved victories and reportedly earned over $200 million. Before the 1982 release of the third Rocky movie, Stallone had acted in an international World War II drama called Escape to Victory in 1981. Among others, the film starred Michael Caine and late soccer great Pele. The year 1982 saw the public raving for one more character from Sylvester Stallone?s stable, ?John Rambo.? The first edition of the franchise, First Blood, proved a smash hit, well-liked by viewers and critics. Rocky III, like the previous installments of the series, turned into a runaway hit.? In 1983, he directed and produced the hugely successful dance-musical Staying Alive, with John Travolta in the lead role. Like 1982, 1986 also became one the most successful years in the superstar?s career as it saw the release and success of the second Rambo movie &#8211; Rambo-First Blood Part II, and Rocky IV. The following years saw Stallone experimenting with new roles and genres. Some, like Cobra (1986) and Tango and Cash (1989) where he played the role of a cop, were commercial hits. Whereas, it is safe to say that, others like Over The Top (1987), Rambo III (1988), Rocky V (1990), and Oscar (1991), bombed disastrously. Stallone was badly lampooned for the 1992 release Stop! Or Mom Will Shoot. Reportedly, he took the movie after archrival Arnold Schwarzenegger refused the role. However, as it turned out, the latter used a ploy to lure Stallone, knowing that the film would fail.

(Photo by Donald Miralle/Bongarts/Getty Images) After the 1993 smash hit Cliffhanger, a few other movies by Sylvester Stallone that succeeded at the box office include, Demolition Man (1993), The Specialist (1994), and Cop Land (1997). It wasn?t until 2006 that Stallone achieved renewed success thanks to a role he had reprised earlier. The sixth movie of the Rocky series, Rocky Balboa, became a commercial blockbuster and received widespread appreciation from critics. He repeated the formula two years later by releasing the fourth installment of the Rambo series. In 2010, The Expendables, which he wrote and directed, became the biggest hit at the United States box office. The second movie in the new franchise also proved successful in 2012. In 2015, moviegoers came across a new series that Stallone developed from one of his old characters, Creed. The movie proved a successful venture, liked and appreciated by all. Its sequel, Creed II, was released in 2018, and that too proved a chip off the old block. A year later, the fifth of the Rambo movie series, Rambo: Last Blood, made roughly $91 million, while its production budget was only $50 million. Besides the movies, Stallone has done voice-over work for projects such as Animal Crackers (2017) and The Suicide Squad (2021). Which fight inspired Sylvester Stallone to write Rocky? Reportedly, the fight between then-reigning Heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali and Chuck Wepner on March 24, 1975, at Ohio?s Richfield Coliseum inspired Sylvester Stallone to write about a down-and-out boxer who challenges an established champion. How old was Sylvester Stallone in each &#8216;Rocky&#8217; installment? Let?s look at Sylvester Stallone?s age at the time of each Rocky movie release. Rocky (Date of Release &#8211; December 3, 1976) &#8211; Sylvester Stallone was thirty-years-old at the time.

Before hitting it big in &#8216;Rocky,&#8217; what job did Sylvester Stallone have in New York City? After moving to New York City to try his luck in the motion picture, ?Sly? started living with his then-girlfriend Sasha Czack, who worked as a waitress to meet the household expenses. Thus the struggling actor, who was yet to get his big break dabbled in a few odd jobs. First, it included working as a janitor at a zoo. Then he also worked as an usher at a movie theater, where he eventually got fired for reselling tickets. Sylvester Stallone?s trainer for &#8216;Rocky&#8217; movies Although Sylvester Stallone had always been lean and physically fit, for the specific requirements of the Rocky and Rambo movie series, he decided to get external help.

Sylvester Stallone leaves &#8216;Rocky&#8217; Series over production and direction rights Until the release of Rocky Balboa in 2006, besides playing the lead role, Sylvester Stallone was at the helm both as a writer and, sometimes, as a director. Irwin Winkler and Robert Charthoff produced all the movies.? At the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, he confirmed working on the next sequel in the series. However, come 2021, through social media, his doubts over the possibility of a sequel became apparent as his terms with the production house started going for a toss.
