Cast Salaries
| Cast | Year | Salary | Inflation adjusted salary | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arnold Schwarzenegger | 1988 | $40,000,000Arnold took $0 upfront for Twins. Instead of a normal paycheck, he, Danny DeVito, and director Ivan Reitman agreed to work for no salary in exchange for a massive cut of the backend profits—often reported as around 40% split between the trio. That gamble turned into Arnold's biggest payday, with reporting often placing his lifetime earnings at $40+ million.source | $108,841,927 | (rep) |
