Arnold Schwarzenegger's collection of movie props is legendary. His most famous costume, however, has a bizarre $1 secret attached to it. Nearly three decades after playing Mr. Freeze, he still possesses the iconic suit thanks to a unique deal with Warner Bros.

Directed by Joel Schumacher, Batman & Robin was heavily criticized, and the co-stars and many fans distanced themselves from the movie, which was released in 1997.

Still, the 7-time Mr. Olympia winner developed a fondness for the extravagant costume and did not let it disappear.

To keep that, Arnold Schwarzenegger has paid just $1 every year for 29 years to Warner Bros.

And there might be a reason for that. The movie left the bodybuilder with a massive payday, as he revealed just a few years ago. "It was Batman & Robin where they gave me over $30 million. I became the highest-paid entertainer in the history of Hollywood."

But that's not the only costume that he's kept.

Arnold Schwarzenegger kept Conan's sword in the office

In 2009, when he was the governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger was asked by an X follower whether the legend still had the sword from Conan the Barbarian.

In response, the former governor not only confirmed that he had that sword but also shared an image of it.

The post read, “I do still have the Conan sword @hidefnewscaps, and I keep it in my office. Here's a picture.” The sword was kept in a case behind his desk. Even in 2009, before the January budget negotiation, Arnold placed that item on a conference table.

Not only that, but in 2023, Arnold shared a video on his Instagram, while using the iconic prop again to break open the seal on a package. That package contained copies of his book, Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life.
