STEVEN SPIELBERG – $7 BILLION

Who hasn’t heard about Steven Spielberg these days? He is one of the most successful directors, producers, and screenwriters of Hollywood, ranking second to his buddy George Lucas. Spielberg is known for making films like Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Indiana Jones, just to name a few. He famously refused to be paid for directing Schindler’s List and instead wanted his earnings to be directed towards the USC Shoah Foundation, which honors the survivors of the Holocaust.

Spielberg’s breakthrough film Jaws propelled him into the limelight and the rest is history. Aside from being a meticulous director, he also has a good mind when it comes to his investment money. He has managed to negotiate a lucrative deal with regards to the use of the Jurassic Park brand that is contributing to his massive net worth today.
