‘Terminator’ Arnold Schwarzenegger lives happily with happy pets in a large mansion

Arnold Schwarzenegger has led an extravagant life, and his homes have been nothing short of remarkable.

When he met his now ex-wife Maria Shriver, they resided in a luxurious 4,100-square-foot house located in the upscale Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles.

Situated on a secluded country lane branching off Sunset Boulevard, this sprawling property was part of a small community consisting of 16 exclusive homes, attracting renowned politicians, actors, and industry leaders. The five-bedroom, six-bathroom house boasted skylights, three fireplaces, a sauna, spa, grotto-style pool, and a beautifully lit tennis court. The surroundings featured ancient oak, sycamore, and eucalyptus trees, adding to the serene atmosphere.

Following their separation, Maria moved into a nearby house to maintain a regular co-parenting schedule with their children. Arnold subsequently sold their former family home to Maria’s cousins, Maxwell “Max” Kennedy and Vicki Strauss Kennedy. According to PEOPLE, the property returned to the market in 2021.

Arnold then purchased another remarkable property, which was equally impressive and located just up the road, as reported by Closer Weekly. This stunning abode is nestled on 2.5 acres within one of Los Angeles’ most exclusive gated communities. Boasting seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms, this hillside compound includes a chef’s kitchen, multiple living rooms, entertainment areas, and a private gym. The backyard is adorned with a large pool and spa, a tennis court, a picturesque duck pond, and several balconies offering breathtaking views of the mountains and the ocean.

In addition to his remarkable real estate, Arnold Schwarzenegger is known for his deep involvement in his children’s lives and shares his exceptional property with various animals. Among them are Whiskey, a miniature horse, and Lulu, a donkey, who have become beloved by his fans. Arnold delighted the internet when he shared a video featuring himself and his two animal companions, urging Californians to stay indoors during the COVID-19 surge. A month later, he announced the sale of Whiskey and Lulu T-shirts, further embracing their popularity. Arnold also owns two dogs named Dutch and Cherry, who add to the vibrant atmosphere of his extraordinary estate.
