[affeman]

Why didn't those guys have their big breakthrough in the 80s? They got better physiqes and even seemed to be greater actors than Arnold

Oscar worthy.

Oscar worthy. 

You mean Oscar-worthy like this guy who became a billionaire and world renowned superstar in the same era?

[pamith]

They were good actors, but not better than Arnold

There's not much of a relationship between Oscar worthy acting ability, being a superstar and making lots of money as a celebrity in movies. It's rare, but some have accomplished this.

George Clooney is the highest-paid actor in the world, having earned $239 million before taxes in 2018. He won Best Supporting Actor in 2006 for his role in Syriana.

Jack Nicholson — 3 wins, 12 nominations

As the world's highest-paid actress, Johansson pocketed $56 million in 2018, nearly all thanks to her role as Black Widow. She won many awards, but no Oscars.

Katherine Hepburn won the most Oscars for best actress with a total of 4. Can't compare earnings since she's from a different time period. Meryl Streep is right behind Katherine with 3 Oscars. She's also earned 18 nominations, more than any other actress. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Streep's fortune is valued at $90 million.

Billionaire?

[Primemuscle]

Billionaire?

Good catch! Arnold's net worth is $400 million. He has a ways to go before he's a billionaire. Regardless, he makes me look like a pauper.

DC Cab was the Barbarians's best film.

    Does anyone know if the Barbarian Brothers were married and had kids? 

Does anyone know more about their backgrounds like who their parents were? Where did they live in SoCal ?

https://independent.academia.edu/LeonardPaul2 <------ pretty sure that's him.

They were in the educational fields, but I always got the feeling there was some old family money there.

And this might be it -

Their Grandfather on the mother's side was a major car dealer it seems -

"A familiar family name, synonymous with selling cars in central Connecticut for 68 years, is gone from the business scene.

Grody Chevrolet Inc. had been on Raymond Road in West Hartford for the past 50 years, but now is Crowley Chevrolet Geo. Israel S. Grody began selling cars in 1924 at his Bloomfield gasoline station, where he also sold hay and grain. His son, M. Leonard Grody, succeeded him. Leonard Grody's widow, Rachel Grody, was running the dealership when it changed hands.

Grody's familiar art deco logo is still atop the dealership building in West Hartford. Although the name on the sign will eventually be changed, what Israel Grody and his successors accomplished will always be part of West Hartford's business history" .

 Thanks for the info!  I always thought there was family money too.  Those guys just bodybuilding and making
those movies that didn't make much money.

[SOMEPARTS]

They blew it all. Case closed.

Peter seems to be living in a nice house so he probably is living off trust fund money.  He sure as Hell isn't earning anymore.

Lmfao!

I kinda/sorta recall that Disney purchased the 'rights' to some sort of 'puppet' that one of the bros 'invented'.

Big bucks if I recall correctly.

I can see what you are ramping up to but they are not known, practicing or even latent homosexuals.  Sorry to let the wind out of your sail.
