Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son, Patrick mulls world domination

[HMG Celebrity News] – Since his tour of duty as Governor ended in January relatively little has been heard from Arnold Schwarzenegger. But his son Patrick is a different tale; Still just 17 he’s set to take on the world.

As you might guess, being the sire of Hollywood and Washington royalty means the lean and tightly-toned 6ft 1in Patrick is never in want of attention. But friends say it hasn’t gone to his head – which is good, because there’s precious little space among all his plans.

“My mom raised me with the idea of doing public service,” he tells Details magazine. “But I also want to follow in my dad’s entrepreneurial footsteps.”

And he has – Patrick co-owns and runs ‘Project 360‘ who produce all those t-shirts and hoodies you’ve seen around town. And ten-percent of the profits go to charity – because that’s how Patrick was raised;

“My grandmother always said ‘When you receive a paycheck you always put a certain amount towards savings, and 10-percent goes to charity.’”

The clothes are now stocked by Bloomingdale’s and other nationwide stores and people like Reggie Bush and Eva Longoria have been spied wearing them, so it’s working.

But it’s not all good news — Last Halloween Patrick hosted what he called “the biggest party any high-school kid’s ever been to,” in Pacific Palisades. Six hundred people showed up. So did the cops. And Daddy was really not pleased.

“They’re glad I had fun with it,” Patrick recalls. “But they weren’t happy with how it was portrayed in the media.”

…He invites 600 high-schoolers to a party in a residential neighborhood, charges $20 to get in – then serves alcohol. How do you put a good spin on that?

As for his image, it’s well in hand – Pat just signed with a modeling agency and will appear in ad campaigns for Ralph Lauren and Armani. And the girls are already keen – He’s been seen with Bruce Willis’ daughter, Tallulah but his dream girl is Miley Cyrus.

For now, though, Patrick’s time is split between ’360′ and learning – he just enrolled in a course at Santa Monica College called ‘Principles of Entrepreneurship.’

“I’m learning how to write a business plan,” he says. “Then I’m going to pitch him.” Meaning his dad. “Mom’s happy I’m trying to expand it, and my dad’s happy with anything I can do to get ahead of the game.”

And with his family’s connections that’s a hell of a lot…
