A black-and-white photo of a smiling young boy may not reveal much at first glance—but that boy would go on to become one of the richest and most influential figures in entertainment history. That child was Steven Spielberg, now a legendary filmmaker with a jaw-dropping net worth of $5.3 billion, according to Forbes.
Spielberg’s fortune surpasses other entertainment titans like George Lucas, Michael Jordan, Oprah Winfrey, and Kim Kardashian. His name is forever linked to iconic films like Jaws, E.T., Indiana Jones, and Jurassic Park. Beyond the big screen, he also earns a 2% cut from ticket sales at Universal Studios theme parks, padding an already massive fortune.
