George Lucas is the richest celebrity in America. The “Star Wars” creator tops Forbes’ list of wealthiest stars for 2018. The list also includes filmmakers, athletes, musician-moguls, an author, a magician and a reality star/cosmetics magnate (we have a feeling you know the one).
Here’s the ten most-rich and famous people, based on Forbes’ methodology that factors in net worth earnings, private company stakes, publicly traded assets, art and real estate assets.
- George Lucas, $5.4 billion
Selling LucasFilm to Disney helped: The deal earned Lucas $4.1 billion in 2012.
- Steven Spielberg, $3.7 billion
“Ready Player One” was among his profitable projects. The acquisition of his DreamWorks Animation also helped.
- Oprah Winfrey, $2.8 billion
Her investment in Weight Watchers only increased her fortune.
- Michael Jordan, $1.7 billion
His fortune comes from his sneakers and a 90% stake in the Charlotte Hornets basketball team, valued at an estimated $800 million.
- Kylie Jenner, $900 million (tie)
The 21-year-old is new to the list. Her Kylie Cosmetics brand has made more than $630 million since its launch two years ago.
- Jay-Z, $900 million (tie)
Stakes in companies including Armand de Brignac champagne and D’Ussé cognac helped add $90 million from his 2017 figure.
- David Copperfield, $875 million
The millionaire magician continues to perform in Vegas after he was not found financially responsible for a tourist’s injuries.
- Diddy, $825 million
His money comes from more than music: His sold Sean John clothing line, Ciroc vodka and stakes in companies including Revolt TV and DeLeón tequila apparently have been lucrative.
- Tiger Woods, $800 million
The golfer won his first major victory in five years this September. That didn’t hurt his bottom line.
- James Patterson. $800 million
The prolific author’s book sales are incredible.
