Biography
About Arnold Schwarzenegger
Arnold Schwarzenegger served as California’s 38th Governor from 2003 to 2011. An actor, businessman, former professional bodybuilder, author and environmental advocate, Arnold Schwarzenegger has built a career spanning entertainment, business, politics and public service.
Born in Austria, Arnold Schwarzenegger began his career in competitive bodybuilding, ultimately winning seven Mr. Olympia titles and becoming one of the most celebrated figures in the sport. He then transformed himself into a Hollywood icon. His breakthrough came with Conan the Barbarian (1982), followed by The Terminator (1984), which became one of his most recognisable roles. His other notable films include Twins (1988), Kindergarten Cop (1990), True Lies (1994) and multiple Terminator sequels. More recently, he starred in the Netflix action-comedy series FUBAR (2023–2025).
Alongside his work in film, Arnold Schwarzenegger established himself as a successful entrepreneur and investor, with interests in real estate and a range of business ventures. In 2003, he was elected Governor of California, serving two terms until January 2011.
As Governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger introduced landmark environmental and infrastructure policies, including the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, which set ambitious targets for reducing California’s greenhouse gas emissions. His administration championed renewable energy, transportation infrastructure, education and public health, helping to position California as a leader in climate and clean-technology innovation.
Since leaving office, Arnold Schwarzenegger has remained deeply engaged in environmental advocacy and public policy. He founded the USC Schwarzenegger Institute for State and Global Policy and the Schwarzenegger Climate Initiative, which organises the Austrian World Summit to promote practical, scalable solutions to climate change.
Arnold Schwarzenegger has also continued his lifelong commitment to health and fitness. Through Arnold’s Pump Club, he shares evidence-based guidance on fitness, nutrition and wellbeing via a newsletter, podcast and app. His 2023 book, Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life, distils lessons from his journeys in bodybuilding, entertainment and politics. His follow-up book, Better Every Day: An Action Plan for a Full Life, is scheduled for publication in January 2027.
In addition, Arnold Schwarzenegger supports numerous charitable activities, including After-School All-Stars, which provides educational and enrichment programmes for young people outside school hours.
