Schwarzenegger was raised in Los Angeles, California. He is one of four children of bodybuilder, actor, and politician Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Maria Shriver, a journalist and author who is also a member of the Kennedy family.[2] His maternal grandmother Eunice Kennedy Shriver founded the Special Olympics and his maternal grandfather Sargent Shriver was the United States Ambassador to France, the 1st Director of the Peace Corps, and the Democratic vice-presidential candidate in the 1972 U.S. presidential election. Patrick has two sisters, Katherine Eunice Schwarzenegger and Christina Aurelia Shriver Schwarzenegger (born July 23, 1991)[1][3] one brother, Christopher Sargent (born September 27, 1997).[4] He is also the half-brother of Joseph Baena (born October 2, 1997).[5][6]
As of May 2011, Schwarzenegger is enrolled at Brentwood School, in Los Angeles, California.
Following his parents' separation, it was reported in the media he was changing his surname to "Shriver." None of these reports is based on statements made by him but is based instead on speculation over why he used the screen name "Patrick Shriver" on his twitter account. Shriver is his mother's maiden name, which is part of his full name: Patrick Arnold Shriver Schwarzenegger.[7][8] Schwarzenegger added Achilles as his Catholic confirmation name.[9]
Schwarzenegger's parents helped Patrick found his company Project360 when he was only 15.[10] The philanthropic clothing line has a full menswear collection on the horizon and a mid-five-figures net from 2010, according to Details magazine.[11] The company donates 10 percent of all its sales to a variety of charities.[12] Patrick is also signed with L.A. Models, which has plans to push him for Ralph Lauren and Armani ad campaigns.[13] He has admitted that he also hopes to raise awareness of his clothing company by taking on high profile modeling jobs.[11]
In 2011 he worked a summer internship at The Grove, an upscale outdoor mall in LA.[14] He is also preparing to apply for college (Stanford and USC are among his top choices). He also posed shirtless for a highly visible Hudson Jeans billboard advertisement seen on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood.[15]
It was announced in September 2011 that Patrick would be joining an MTV reality television series in the vein of The Hills, that highlights young business men in Los Angeles, California. Along with their daytime jobs, it will also show their nightlife.
