Here in Austria they say he did G4P/H4P - not sex but posing for wealthy men and old women.

Maybe he just got lucky with redeveloped locations and a rising market?

I know a guy who bought a country estate here in Dublin for approx $400,000 utilizing a zero-interest bank loan (perk of the job as he worked for Bank of Ireland), that was back in 1984.

Aged 55 he suffered a dehydration induced collapse and was briefly hospitalised... his employers worried that he'd had a heart attack, and worrying that he'd die on the job and his young wife would be drawing his exorbitant pension for the next 50 years (transferable pensions were also a perk of the job) they offered him early retirement.

He took the redundancy package on the condition that the remaining $300,000 on the mortgage be written off... the bank agreed.

That was 1990... last month his country estate went on the market at $35 million.

$35 million is a nice sum of money.

But now that so many of us in America are 'paper millionaires', shouldn't $5 million in net worth be the new threshold to be considered a 'millionaire'?

royalties from Hercules in New York (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0065832/)

but I have heard plenty of S&M4P (stand and model for pay) stories from his time in NYC in the early 70s.

There are creative ways to purchase real estate with no money down, and especially back then there were plenty of assumable loans, of which someone could take over someones loan without any money down, or even having to be employed !!!  How bout that !!!

weren't banks more stingy to whom they gave loans to? Wouldn't he have needed atleast 25%-30% down in the 70's?

I'm skeptical that the brick layering business and joe weiders cheque book would have paid him enough to to invest in commerical real estate.

It's too bad that Lou couldn't be a little more like Arnold with his cash when he had the big money rolling in. 



The industry does owe Lou, though.

Naked posing for old gay guys earned him enough money to get his mail order workout programs going; that made him more cash. Combine those, add small acting gigs, and bam. He bought an apartment complex and went from there.

A technician who worked for Merv Griffin Productions told me that Merv Griffin taught him how to invest, and that Arnold used the money he received (scale) from his appearances on the Merv Griffin show.

Merv is gay, and Arnold was smart. He used a lot of rich gay men to social climb and learn how to be successful and rich. All of those gay men are dead now and so are their stories. Arnold has lucked out is whole life.
