SYLVESTER STALLONE just gave his wallet a “Rocky”-style workout.

Stallone, 71, coughed up a whopping $400,000 to buy the backup statue of Rocky Balboa featured in 1982’s “Rocky III,” TMZ reports.

The actor showed it off in a Christmas Day Instagram post that featured pal Arnold Schwarzene­gger mugging in front of the towering statue.

“Well look who drop by on Christmas! @schwarzene­gger always fill the room with positive energy!” Stallone wrote.

The statue is one of two created by artist A. Thomas Schomberg; the first, featured in the film, is at the bottom of the stairs at the Philadelph­ia Museum of Art.

The 9-foot tall backupwas recently put for auction after spending time on display at the San Diego Hall of Champions, according to TMZ.
