George Clooney – $500 Million
When George Clooney began his career in the ’90s, he didn’t immediately start making waves. But after starring in a slew of small movies, he got his first big break in the TV drama “ER,” starting in 1994. He became a household name with the 1997 film “Batman & Robin.”
Clooney went on to win accolades with the films he did next, including “Ocean’s Eleven” and “From Dusk Till Dawn.” His directorial ventures, including, “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind” in 2002 and “Leatherheads” in 2008, also fetched him sizeable dividends in the long run. It all contributed to his net worth of $500 million.
