- 7 years ago
Arnold Schwarzenegger proves that a few thousand dollars can certainly be one of the Expendables.
The action superstar has reportedly agreed to do a commencement speech at the University of Houston for free, waiving the $40,000 dollars the higher learning establishment offered to pay him.
According to the New York Post's Page Six, "Gov. Schwarzenegger wasn't aware that a fee was arranged by his representatives to deliver his commencement address, and he has never asked for a speaking fee to speak to students."
Still, the actor will fulfill the request and address the UH graduating class in May.
The University also Tweeted their gratitude for his generosity, announcing that he "Terminated" compensation, no charge to UH.
Hasta la vista, money.
