James Franco | $30 Million | College Professor

James Franco must have been such a hit on the big screen that colleges and universities sought him out to teach in their academic programs. We’re not just talking about one teaching gig. Believe it or not, but James has actually taught in four different schools.  New York Magazine reported that he started seriously teaching back in 2010 when he taught in a total of four schools at the same time. The actor taught fiction writing at Columbia and Brooklyn College, filmmaking at New York University, and poetry at Warren Wilson College.

Other than this, he also taught film at UCLA. He gets hired by all of these schools because he actually has the proper credentials. James Franco actually earned a Ph.D. degree in English from no less than Yale University, if you’re wondering. Now, who wouldn’t want to hire him? Though he had a rough start because of his affiliation to Hollywood, his students rated him relatively high and loved having him around.
