Arnold Schwarzenegger earned more than 40 million for starring in Twins

Arnold Schwarzenegger earned more than $40 million for starring in Twins.

The 77-year-old actor appeared opposite Danny DeVito in the 1988 comedy film, which was directed by Ivan Reitman.

While Schwarzenegger has starred in the likes of The Terminator franchise and other box office heavyweights, including Total Recall and True Lies, he "went all the way to the bank" with Twins thanks to an ownership deal.

Speaking on Watch What Happens Live, he said: "Well, number one was Twins, because we got no money for the salary but ownership with a piece of the back end.

"It was fantastic. We went all the way to the bank with that."

Asked if he made more than $40 million for Twins, he replied: "It was more than that.

"It was more than any movie I ever made."

Twins saw Schwarzenegger and DeVito appear as unlikely twins Julius and Vincent Benedict, who were separated at birth.
