7. Steven Spielberg – Net Worth: $3.6 billion
Steven Spielberg is one of the best and most popular filmmakers of all time. Some of his most notable work includes the movies Jaws, Schindler’s List, Jurassic Park, and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Spielberg was interested in making movies ever since he was a kid. In his early teens, he would make a lot of amateur films with his friends. When he was 16, Steven made his first independent movie with a small amount of money his father gave him. The movie was called Firelight, and it was shown at a local cinema one evening, helping him earn the budget of the movie back. Upon graduating from high school, he applied to film school, but was rejected due to his low grade average. So, he enrolled at California State University. But while he was a student there, he was offered a seven-year contract with Universal Studios to be a professional film director. He immediately dropped out of college and decided to work for Universal. Spielberg currently has a net worth of $3.6 billion.
