Some celebrities have managed to amass astronomical fortunes in the entertainment arena
Celebrities have always been a topic of interest to the general public. People are often curious about the lavish lifestyles these stars lead and the amount of money they make. While there are countless successful celebrities in the entertainment industry, some have managed to amass a fortune that can only be described as astronomical.
Therefore, we separate the five richest celebrities in the world:
George Luke
In the list published by Forbes in 2022, the creator of “Star Wars” was in 444th place. His net worth is valued at about 6.1 billion US dollars, about 31 billion reais at current exchange rates.
By the way, it is worth noting that, in general, the money came in 2012, after selling Lucasfilm to Disney. At the time, the sale was valued at $4.1 billion, more than 21 billion reais, in cash and stock.
Steven Spielberg
Next on the list we have the co-founder of DreamWorkds studio and, of course, director of successful franchises like ‘Jurassic Park’. In 849th place, Spielberg has a fortune of $3.7 billion, about 19 billion reais at current prices.
Interestingly, one of Spileberg’s sources of income is the parks of Universal Studios in Orlando, USA. This is because, due to attractions based on his films, the director receives a percentage of the value of each ticket sold in the park.
Oprah Winfrey
The next name on the list of richest celebrities in the world is host Oprah Winfrey. Thanks to her show, which has been on the air for 25 years, Oprah has a fortune worth 2.6 billion dollars, about 14 billion reais. In the Forbes 2022 list, she ranks 1214th.
Rihanna
A new name on the list of richest people in the world, Rihanna has increased her fortune with Fenty Beauty, her cosmetics brand. Additionally, she owns a 30% stake in Savage x Fenty, her own lingerie brand.
In this way, the “Work” singer amassed a fortune of US$ 1.7 billion – about 6 billion reais -, leaving her at 1812th place on the Forbes list.
