John Lasseter | $100 Million

Have you ever wondered who the creative mind behind the groundbreaking Pixar films we have today is? Look no further because we have the answers for you, and it is none other than John Lasseter.  At the beginning of his career, Lasseter started working in Disney and his first experience as an animator was while working on the show The Fox and the Hound. He would later fight for computer animation, causing him to transfer to LucasFilms, Pixar, and Skydance.

Eventually, he got the credit he deserved when he was nominated for a slew of Academy Awards, two of which he won. Over three decades of work is more than enough to earn him his well-deserved $100 million net worth. After all, our kids wouldn’t get the opportunity to watch any of Pixar’s animated films without this man, and a lot of people in the industry should thank him for his dedication to his work.
