Clint Eastwood – Net Worth: $375 Million

Although actor Clint Eastwood is a massive name in showbiz today, did you know the San Francisco native signed his first contract in 1954 with a modest weekly pay of just $100? After several appearances on stage, the Gran Torino actor made his film debut in 1955 with Revenge of the Creature.

According to director Arthur Lubin who first auditioned Eastwood, the actor was amateurish and had no idea how to do anything! Well, that same amateurish actor went on to star in some of the biggest hits of modern cinema, including American Sniper, Gran Torino, Dirty Harry, and Million Dollar Baby. His new movie Cry Macho will premiere on September 17.

George Clooney – Net Worth: $500 Million

Famous for his love for cars (and women), George Clooney is an American actor, screenwriter, and director. Clooney is revered for his extremely good looks in the film industry. Even at the age of 60, the Ocean’s Eleven actor has aged like fine wine and looks as handsome as ever.

Clooney started making the big bucks during his stint on the series Sisters, earning $40k per episode. His pay went up massively in the following years, culminating in a career-high in 2001 when he raked in $15 million as Danny Ocean in Ocean’s Eleven. Clooney recently opened The Roybal School of Film and Television Production alongside actress Kerry Washington.

Ben Affleck – Net Worth: $150 Million

The commercial and critical success of Goodwill Hunting made Ben Affleck and co-star Matt Damon one of the biggest names in Hollywood. Despite their iconic performances in the 1997 blockbuster, the duo only made a measly $300k for their on-screen services.

Fast forward only six years, and Affleck got his biggest payday in 2003 when he was paid $15 million for starring in Paycheck. His memorable performances on the big screen include titles like The Accountant, Argo, Gone Girl, and The Town. The Justice League actor recently rekindled his relationship with his ex-girlfriend and musician Jennifer Lopez, and the two are dating again.

As one of America’s favorite TV personalities, Kelly Ripa has made an absolute killing as the co-host of Live with Kelly and Ryan. After first joining the morning talk show alongside co-host Ryan Seacrest, she was making up to $18 million at one point.

The New Jersey native is a fan-favorite due to her bubbly personality and quirky sense of humor. While we have been marveling at her parenting tips and chiseled beach body, Ripa has been busy raking in some serious dough and has amassed a fortune of $120 million. She recently joined Nestle’s supplement company persona Nutrition, as a spokesperson.

Richard Gere – Net Worth: $120 Million

Given his stunningly good looks and charisma, actor Richard Gere was an extremely sought-after Hollywood hunk in the 1990s. Swooning fangirls still remember Gere from his earlier appearances in films like Looking for Mr. Goodbar alongside an equally attractive Diane Keaton.

Along with his famous role in Pretty Woman, Gere is also remembered for his appearances in Primal Fear, The Cotton Club, and An Officer and a Gentleman. His on-camera escapades with A-list actresses like Julia Roberts, Renée Zellweger, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Jennifer Lopez have made Gere an incredible $120 million fortune.
