Before Arnold Schwarzenegger catapulted into Hollywood stardom, he was making a good living in the late 1970’s with $100,000 he invested in real estate.
As quoted in a new book by Tim Ferriss: “I did not rely on my movie career to make a living. I realized in the 1970s that the inflation rate was very high and therefore an investment like that is unbeatable. I benefitted from a [magic decade] and I became a millionaire from my real estate investments. That was before my career took off in show business and acting.”
Schwarzenegger is one of 112 figures profiled in Ferriss’ “Tools of Titans: The Tactics, Routines, and Habits of Billionaires, Icons and World-Class Performers.” Perhaps you may want to add this to your holiday reading list?
