Almost all of his films can be considered high-profile, like The China Syndrome, Romancing the Stone, A Chorus Line, The Jewel of the Nile, Fatal Attraction, The War of Roses, Basic Instinct, Wonder Boys, and Traffic. No wonder he has amassed a net worth of $350 million. As one of the industry’s most respected actors, Douglas has made hundreds of millions of dollars by just doing films.
