Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger has cut off financial support for his youngest son, Joseph. According to the star himself, he did this out of great love for him, as reported by Moneypop.

The actor, whose fortune is estimated at a billion dollars, stopped providing financial support to his illegitimate son because he wanted Joseph to achieve everything in life on his own. Although Joseph had already been receiving no help from Arnold for 14 years—due to not knowing of their relationship—he holds no resentment toward his father. He understood and accepted the star’s decision.

After graduating from university, Joseph decided to follow in his father’s footsteps. He has already appeared in several TV shows and movies, and has more projects lined up. It’s noted that Schwarzenegger does not assist his son in his career advancement, so Joseph is earning recognition in Hollywood on his own.

It’s worth mentioning that Joseph’s mother kept the identity of his father a secret for a long time to avoid scandal. His grandmother accidentally revealed the truth.
