Arnold Schwarzenegger says Sylvester Stallone spent years making more money than him, so he took a $30,000,000 role he didn’t even like just to finally beat him
“I was getting a million dollars for Conan 2, this was 1983. Then I read, Sly just made a deal for $5 million for a movie. I said, what the hell?”
“Eventually I got $10 million for Total Recall in ‘89. And Sly signed for $15 million. I’m like, Jesus Christ, I can’t catch up, there was always some number bigger than mine”
“Eventually we both ended up at $20 million as our standard. Then I did Batman and Robin where I got $30 million, they really wanted me for the movie but I didn’t want to play the villain. They said, ‘$25 million is petty cash, what’s the matter with you guys?’”
“So then, they call me back like a month later and they say we give you $30 million plus we give you points and back end and blah blah blah and I said, okay”
“This was kind of my way to pay back for all the tortures over the years that he got more than I did”

Few athletes have inspired the world like Cristiano Ronaldo.
From humble beginnings in Madeira to becoming one of the greatest footballers of all time, Ronaldo has shown that talent alone is never enough: it is discipline, sacrifice, consistency and an unbreakable will to succeed that create greatness.
His achievements speak for themselves: 900+ career goals, five Ballon d’Or awards, multiple UEFA Champions League titles, league championships in England, Spain and Italy, and international glory with Portugal. But perhaps his greatest legacy is inspiring millions to believe that with hard work, no dream is too big.
Thank you, Cristiano Ronaldo, for redefining excellence and giving football fans countless unforgettable moments. Legends may retire, but greatness lives forever.
Argentina vs Cape Verde is the best game of this World Cup so far. What a game! 🔥
Every time you thought Argentina had won it, Cape Verde found a way back. If only the rest of the African teams had shown that same mentality😭❤️ https://t.co/DGrVgEZRt8
Congratulations, Argentina—but what Cape Verde achieved has gone down in history. Thank you, Cape Verde, for adding such brilliance to the World Cup. ❤️
