About Arnold Schwarzenegger

Arnold Schwarzenegger is recognized by the Pantheon project as a globally influential figure, ranking #618 for his dual impact in bodybuilding, where he achieved unparalleled international success, and subsequently in acting and politics, serving as the Governor of California from 2003 to 2011.

Despite this substantial historical footprint, his 2025 annualized Wikipedia pageviews total 6.4 million, placing him in a category of significant overattention relative to his historical importance. He receives an attention gap factor of +18x, meaning his current internet presence is eighteen times what would be predicted based solely on his cultural impact index score. This level of attention significantly surpasses figures with higher historical standing, such as Aaron (#176 importance, 569K views) and Trajan (#342 importance, 731K views), who are significantly more important historically yet garner far less modern digital focus.

While interest remains robust with a modest year-over-year increase of +2.4%, the data indicates a recent dip in engagement, with Q1 versus Q3 momentum falling by -13% across 2025.
