Arnold Schwarzenegger appeared in a number of advertisements in Japan in the late 1980s and early 1990s, despite not being well-known to many people, at that time. Many American superstars have frequently promoted themselves through Japanese commercial advertisements.
But even in that case, it’s still hilarious to see Snoop Dogg pop out of a fridge to pitch German cell phone services. It would be really difficult to refuse such an offer while keeping money aside. It has a distinct “do it just to say you did” vibe.

Many famous people also worked in the Japanese advertising industry in the 1980s and 1990s. Similarly, Arnold was also happy to pose with an energy drink on Japanese billboards.
Why did Arnold Schwarzenegger do the Japanese commercial?
The Internet wasn’t really a thing in the 1980s. American viewers were unlikely to ever witness these somewhat hilarious commercials. Additionally, celebrities thought that participating in advertisements amounted to getting more money as well as popularity. The emergence of social media and the significance of personal brands in advertising has completely flipped this mentality.
Companies in Japan sought international stars like Tommy Lee Jones and Bruce Willis to support their brands because they wanted to thrill the Japanese populace about the recognition of their own products in other cultures.
Arnold spent so much time advertising these energy drinks (among other brands, including groceries and canned coffee beverages) to make some substantial money from these advertising.
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s net worth
Arnold mostly relied on his movie earnings and lucrative real estate investments to build his riches. He made his acting debut in the 1970 picture ‘Hercules‘ in New York, and it was ‘Conan the Barbarian‘ (1982) that gave him his big break. He achieved international renown two years later for his depiction as the film’s title adversary in ‘The Terminator‘ (1984).
Over the span of three decades, he has made appearances in several big-budget motion pictures, which include Commando, Predator, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, True Lies, Twins, Total Recall, Kindergarten Cop, Batman & Robin, The Expendables series, and Terminator Genisys.
He has sometimes appeared on television, but before “Fubar,” he had never played a live-action role. Additionally, he has provided his image for video games based on The Terminator series. The Actor’s estimated net worth is around $450 million according to reports.
