In previous blogs, we talked about just how much money certain actors and actresses get paid for pretending to be somebody they’re not; however, they’re not the only moneybags in Hollywood! Being behind the camera can also help you to rake in the dough – so let’s look at some of the richest directors in the business.
James Cameron
Prior to its release, some people mocked Titanic for its expense. Was it really worth all that money to dive down to the actual wreck for a fairly short sequence? Well, yes. Yes it was worth it; it became the first film to gross over a billion dollars and was the highest grossing film of all time until 2009. What surpassed it? Avatar – James Cameron’s next Hollywood directorial effort. Let’s not forget, this is the same man who directed Aliens, The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgement Day. That’s why he’s got a net worth of $700 million. Does that sound like a lot? Not in comparison to…
Steven Spielberg
Possibly one of the most influential and popular directors in the industry, Spielberg’s work has spanned everything from blockbusters like Jaws and Jurassic Park to meaningful historical dramas like Schindler’s List and Amistad. His net worth is thought to be around $3.6 billion.
George Lucas
A long time ago in a Hollywood far, far away… well, thirty eight years to be precise and yes, it really has been that long since Star Wars first came out! Lucas’s directorial efforts are actually fairly thin on the ground – Star Wars was his third film as director, and after that he didn’t direct again for over two decades, instead focusing on writing and producing until he took the directorial seat again for the prequel trilogy. Nevertheless, with a net worth of $4.3 billion, he has to top this list.
