RON HOWARD — EST. $160 MILLION

Actor and filmmaker Ron Howard, who is known to be one of the most bankable directors of this generation—having directed such films as Apollo 13, A Beautiful Mind, and Cinderella Man—is reportedly worth $160 million. And we are not surprised, considering all the great films he’s directed, and all the critical acclaim he and his films have garnered over the years.

Howard also launched a production company called Imagine Entertainment, and it’s been in business since 1985. This production company has, to a huge degree, contributed massively to Howard’s wealth, given that it’s been involved with more than a few blockbusters over the years. As an actor, Ron Howard understands the audience’s psychology. He can use the plot and the inner portrayal of the characters to arouse the audience’s emotions and make the old plot show new ideas. He has created one box office blockbuster after another and made outstanding contributions to the Hollywood film industry.
