I guess I just felt she would understand availability and the maid is sort of part of the family.
But I see it both ways, you guys are right.

He was acting in the US before he could even speak english. His first flick (I think he was hercules) he had no idea what the lines were. And here you are saying he had a construction business already and was a millionaire.

it was bodybuilding -> real estate -> acting
www.cnbc.com
“That was my intention, because I saw over the years, the people that worked out in the gym and that I met in the acting classes, they were all very vulnerable because they didn’t have any money, and they had to take anything that was offered to them because that was their living. I didn’t want to get into that situation.”
Instead, he turned to real estate in the 1970s. Using the money he made from bodybuilding, Schwarzenegger put a down payment on an apartment building. He quickly started benefiting from a “magic decade,” he tells Ferriss: “Buildings that I would buy for $500K within the year were $800K and I put only maybe $100K down, so you made 300% on your money.
“I quickly developed and traded up my buildings and bought more apartment buildings and office buildings on Main Street down in Santa Monica and so on. … I became a millionaire from my real estate investments.”
Thanks to the income he generated through his side hustle, Schwarzenegger had the financial freedom to focus on his acting career, and the rest is history.
a great, great man who all boys should take inspiration from
on topic i'm on the final season of Rebels, REALLY liking the show now. season 1 is pretty much trash but I think the show reaches more highs than Clone Wars, and all the tie ins to Mandalorian and future TV shows is amazing. Filoni really is an awesome story teller
The way Arnold Schwarzenegger made his first million had nothing to do with acting

This is an argument where everyone can make a case for being right. It all depends on how you want to define famous (Chuk's original post was about "before he was famous").
Arnold won his first professional bodybuilding competition in 1968 (Mr. Universe). In 1969 he won Mr. Universe again, and got 2nd in Mr. Olympia. In 1970, he won Mr. Olympia and stared in the movie Hercules in New York. He would have been around B-list famous by 1971, when he won the second Mr. Olympia. Likewise, he got mostly B-list acting jobs though the 70s, when he was probably building his first million or two.
So is B-list celebrity considered famous enough for this discussion? Even if he wouldn't have started acting until the 80s, he would have still been famous for Bodybuilding and the Golds Gym/Muscle Beach crew. Mr. Olympia, alone, can get you famous if you win it/compete enough; look at guys like Ronnie Coleman, Franco Columbu, and Jay Cutler (the bodybuilder) all gained fame just for bodybuilding.

in bodybuilding circles, Arnold was already a legend before normies knew who the fuck that was. when he did Pumping Iron, that was just a glimpse at real fame. even Conan which started his mainstream career didnt really catapult him until he did Terminator which made him a star and when it hit cable he became a superstar. when i was a little boy i watched Pumping Iron with my dad and at the time, Lou Ferrigno was my favorite because of the Hulk TV show even though Arnold has so much charisma it dominated every moment of the film, even when he wasnt on camera. you could tell Arnie was going to be a big deal someday.

Maybe the lesson is don't release a single week after the #1 movie of the year (Jurassic Park 1993) and spend the same amount as the #1 in advertising.

Everyone but astr0. Let's not lose sight of the fact that he claimed it was a construction business.
