(TMZ) One of the big reasons Arnold Schwarzenegger didn't give Maria Shriver an advance copy of his autobiography is that he intends to keep all of the money he makes from it ... sources connected with the couple tell TMZ.Even though Arnold and Maria were together 34 years and married for 25 and a good chunk of the book is about their relationship ... we're told Arnold has made it clear to her ... the book is HIS, and she will not be getting any part of his multi-million dollar advance or any royalties.
And there's more on the money front ... We're told Arnold has been extremely tough in negotiating a financial settlement with Maria -- one source says, "Arnold has been really stingy with Maria and the kids, which is amazing considering what he did."
One source groused ... Arnold has treated his divorce as a business deal, and not an end to the relationship he had with the mother of his kids.
And here's the most shocking part ... Sources tell us as recently as last week, Arnold asked Maria to take him back. We're told ... she's not biting.
Arnold's rep told TMZ ... the divorce settlement negotiations are ongoing so no agreement has been struck. more on this story
