Schwarzenegger was born on September 18, 1993, in Santa Monica, California, and was raised in Los Angeles. He is the eldest son of journalist Maria Shriver and Austrian-born bodybuilder, actor, and politician Arnold Schwarzenegger. He grew up alongside two older sisters, a younger brother, and a younger paternal half-brother. Holding dual Austrian and American citizenship, he speaks English as well as some German and makes regular visits to Austria. During his high school years at Brentwood School, he began taking private acting lessons. He later attended the University of Southern California, graduating from the USC Marshall School of Business in May 2016 with a degree in business administration and a minor in cinematic arts.

Schwarzenegger's acting journey began at ten years old with a minor appearance in the comedy film The Benchwarmers. Throughout his youth, he practiced performance techniques with his father and continued studying theater while enrolled at university. At age fifteen, he created a clothing line, and in the early 2010s, he gained professional industry experience by interning for film producer John Davis. He subsequently earned supporting parts in movies such as Stuck in Love, Grown Ups 2, and Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse.

In 2018, Schwarzenegger secured his first leading role starring opposite Bella Thorne in the romantic drama Midnight Sun. He followed this with performances in the horror film Daniel Isn't Real, the crime drama Echo Boomers, and the Netflix coming-of-age movie Moxie. His television work expanded with a role in the 2022 true-crime miniseries The Staircase, followed by a recurring appearance as Luke Riordan, also known as Golden Boy, in the superhero series Gen V. He was subsequently cast as Saxon Ratliff in the third season of The White Lotus and participated in American Sports Story.

Alongside his entertainment work, Schwarzenegger has pursued entrepreneurial activities. He operated multiple Blaze Pizza franchise locations, including sites near his university campus and at The Grove in Los Angeles, before selling his stake. He later redirected his capital toward emerging health-focused consumer products, investing in companies producing electrolyte mixes, protein beverages, and plant-based foods. In 2020, he collaborated with his mother to launch MOSH, a wellness brand focused on brain nutrition that officially debuted on World Alzheimer's Day.
