BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH – EST. $40 MILLION

Here’s another star who was born to a family of actors. Benedict Cumberbatch had his first acting gig when he was 12 years old, appearing in his school’s production of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Even during that period, he was already lauded as a talented actor. Suffice to say; he has gotten even better since then.

Beginning his professional career as a stage actor, Cumberbatch garnered an even high degree of popularity when he found his way to the big and small screens.

With one of his most iconic roles on TV being his performance as the titular detective in Sherlock, Cumberbatch’s notable film projects include Star Trek Into Darkness, The Imitation Game, and The Power of the Dog. Plus, he’s also known for providing the voice and motion-capture of the dragon Smaug in The Hobbit films and portraying Doctor Strange in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
