Mel Gibson – $425m
Mel Gibson might not be the most well-loved actor in the industry, but that doesn’t change the fact that he has lots of money to his name. He actually funded Passion of the Christ all on his own! This controversial figure is best known for starring in Braveheart, Lethal Weapon, What Women Want, and The Patriot.
Peter Jackson – $450m
Peter Jackson is the person we have to thank for directing the Lord of the Rings trilogy. His adaptation of The Hobbit has been successful as well. Aside from that, he has three Oscars, a Golden Globe, and four BAFTAs to his name. Did you know that he is passionate about historic preservation as well? Cool.
