Samuel L. Jackson | $250 Million

Samuel L. Jackson, the highest-grossing actor of all time, is not a surprising addition to this list because he has a net worth of $250 million. He started his career taking up small film and theater roles in the 70s. Since then, he has taken on an uncountable number of roles, many of which remain iconic up to this day. These include roles in the films Pulp Fiction, Star Wars, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Coming to America, Goodfellas, Patriot Games, Juice, Menace II Society, True Romance, Jurassic Park, and Fresh Universe.

Jackson usually played bad guys and drug addicts before becoming an action hero when he co-starred with Bruce Willis in Die Hard with a Vengeance in 1995. Some credit should be given to Jackson’s colleague, Morgan Freeman, for convincing Jackson to pursue a career in acting in the early 80s. Since then, Nick Fury, Frozone, and Mace Windu have been ingrained in every film fanatic’s heart.
