Currently worth $450 million, Arnold Schwarzenenegger’s life transitioned from a pro bodybuilder extending into varying disciplines. He has also been a Governor of California for two terms. Thus, this urged him to purchase a private jet for greater convenience for commuting to and fro from work. Arnold Schwarzenegger owns the Gulfstream III business jet manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace, worth $35 million. Even though he bought a cheaper version, deprived of most luxuries, he still faces severe criticism for the action. 

Having stated that, the actor recently shared an update on Twitter, revealing that he is on the way to his climate-focused project, Schwarzenegger Climate Initiative (ArnoldSCI) for the upcoming Austrian World Summit, as a part of his long battle against climate issues. Owing to the past controversy, a user presumed that since he is using a private jet to travel, it is ironic to his concern for the climate and shared a critical statement on the platform. This act didn’t go unnoticed by the legend himself, as he clapped back with a witty remark. 

Arnold Schwarzenegger seizes a critical comment by a user with his acuity

Today, the 75-year-old icon shared a picture on his Twitter handle, that hinted at his visit at Arnold SCI for the 2023 Summit, due on May 16th. “En route to @ArnoldSCI for this year’s summit in Vienna,” he wrote in the post. The picture featured him smiling while seated in an airplane, reading a magazine. The glimpse sparked controversial speculations that the Austrian Oak is using his private jet for attending an event prioritizing climate change issues. 

Thus, a user condemned his effort and wrote, “There is no climate emergency and all the private jets prove they all know it.” The statement was based on the assumed hypocrisy by Schwarzenegger, addressing the matter and looking for a solution while utilizing one of the modern causes of climate change. However, the Hollywood icon was quick to respond to the criticism and clarified that it was a “commercial flight” he was using.
