Arnold Schwarzenegger looked back on his five-decade career while appearing on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live this week.
While chatting with host Andy Cohen on Monday night, the 77-year-old bodybuilder-turned-actor revealed that the 1988 comedy Twins has earned him his biggest payout.
‘It was Twins because we had gotten no money, no salary,’ he began to explain before Andy chimed in, ‘You got a piece of the backend!’
Arnold agreed, ‘Exactly. And it was was fantastic. We went all the way to the bank with that one.
In good taste, the Terminator icon — whose son Patrick Schwarzenegger has followed in his acting footsteps — declined to give the exact amount of his earnings.
But nudged by Bravo executive producer Cohen, who asked if it was more than $40M, he said it was well above that figure.

Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito, 80, starred together in Twins, portraying genetically engineered siblings who only crossed paths when they reached adulthood.
The Austrian actor played Julius Benedict, the older brother of Vincent Benedict, played by DeVito.
The movie reached icon status, grossing more than $216million and marking Schwarzenegger’s first stab at a comedic role.
Andy went on to ask if he ‘had ownership in Twins 2,’ which Arnold revealed never came to fruition.
‘We don’t have Twins 2. The sequel would have been called Triplets, and it was not done because the director, Ivan Reitman, passed away just before we wanted to start shooting the movie,’ the former California governor explained.
And he also shared that Eddie Murphy had been tapped to play the third brother.
Just weeks ago in May, Schwarzenegger sent fans wild as he reunited with DeVito in an Instagram post, which happened to also feature former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair.
The picture showed the actors on either side of Blair, 71, while each person flashed a megawatt smile as they stood next to a swimming pool.

‘I love bringing old friends back together,’ Schwarzenegger, who has been promoting the second season of his Netflix series FUBAR, wrote in the caption.
He gushed, ‘It was fantastic to see my dear friend Tony Blair and introduce him to my brother, @dannydevito. I can’t wait to talk about termination pollution together in Vienna at the @schwarzeneggerclimate summit!’
Film fanatics were quick to take to the comments section to express their excitement at Schwarzenegger and DeVito’s link-up, though some called Blair’s inclusion ‘random.’
One commented: ‘All legends in their own right!’
‘These three together looks like the start of an Always Sunny in Philadelphia episode,’ quipped another.
Another simply wrote: ‘This has got to be the most random link-up ever.’
