PETER JACKSON – $500 MILLION

Peter Jackson is considered one of the best directors in Hollywood, being the genius behind The Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Hobbit trilogy. He wasn’t just directing these movies though. He was also the screenwriter and producer! He used to be a struggling director doing small movies before he got this big break. With his film adaptation of JRR Tolkien’s novel series though, he has established his name concretely in the film industry.

Adding to his career, he also has other ventures such as a production company called Wingnut Films. Now, he is worth $500 million. This only proves that hard work does pay off. Jackson wouldn’t want his work to be put to waste, so we hope he has good management skills in order for him not to tumble down the pit of bankruptcy or experience financial trouble. In fact, it’s always good to have a backup even if you’re worth millions of dollars.
