George Lucas  | $8 Billion | Executive Producer/ Writer

After making American Graffiti one of the most profitable films in history, George Lucas went his way to create another series of blockbusters. As you all probably know, Star Wars has become a global phenomenon since its first release in the late ’70s. Now, every time we hear his name, we can’t help but associate him with the all-time bestselling film franchise. It seems like everything Lucas creates turns to gold.

However, did you know that the film director also worked as a writer and executive producer? Contrary to popular opinion, Lucas didn’t serve as director of Indiana Jones. He only took part in the production and received writing credits in the hit film franchise. Other movies he produced include Strange Magic, The Land Before Time, and Labyrinth. By the way, Lucas’ net worth is now a staggering $8 billion!
