Arnold Schwarzenegger was paid $25 million for a five-minute cameo as Prince Hapi in Around the World in 80 Days.

In one of his last film appearances, before becoming the Governor of California, he played an action hero but in a lighthearted comedic role in the film. The amount reflected his huge appeal at the time for doing even these minor roles.
