SYLVESTER STALLONE – $400 MILLION
Sylvester Stallone is not just a prominent Hollywood actor, but he is also known to direct and produce his own films as well. Did you know that Stallone wrote the screenplay for the movie, Rocky, in just three days? There were several interested parties for what he had written, with United Artists being on the top, However, they wanted a different actor for the role. Stallone pressured the producers to make him the lead instead. It was a great choice as the movie earned $225 million when it hit the screens, with only $1 million spent on making the film.
His salary was already in millions after his movie, but it wasn’t just acting that made his net worth what it is today.
Stallone has placed his investment money on his own production company called Balboa Productions, which is quite apt given how his role as Rocky Balboa completely changed his life. Among the films that his company produced were Creed II, Rambo V, as well as Expendables 4. He has also invested in several real estate properties as well.
