Why Arnold Schwarzenegger Was Detained At Munich Airport

Likely just wanting to move on with his day, Arnold Schwarzenegger agreed to prepay the taxes on the watch. Having starred in films like "Terminator," "Predator," and "True Lies," one would imagine he's not hard-pressed for cash. The only problem is that when customs took him to an ATM, the cash withdrawal limit was too low to cover the taxes. The bank was also closed, so a credit card machine had to be brought to the airport so that he could finally pay the tax and get out of there.

A source close to the situation told People that all items sold at the auction, such as the luxury watch, would be reported accurately for tax purposes. The source also commented, "We hope next time they don't make him pay taxes on his suits or anything else he packs." However, Schwarzenegger's issues at the Munich airport may not be over, as TMZ also mentions there may be a criminal investigation into the incident, as anything brought into the EU with the intent of leaving it behind must be declared, which the actor reportedly did not do.

The ridiculousness of the story sounds more appropriate for a storyline on Arnold Schwarzenegger's Netflix action-comedy series, "FUBAR," than real life. But if there's one thing to take away from all this, it's that even celebrities aren't immune from having a terrible airport experience, just like the rest of us.
