A sci-fi director and producer whose biggest franchise is about to continue.
Despite some big hits like The Terminator and Denis Villeneuve’s Dune, science fiction is not always a profitable art. At least that doesn’t apply to one of the most famous directors of the genre – if not the most famous: Star Wars creator George Lucas, who was recently named the richest celebrity in the world by the magazine Forbes.
George Lucas is richer than Steven Spielberg and Taylor Swift
Forbes estimated Lucas’ wealth at $5.5 billion. This puts him well ahead of colleague Steven Spielberg, who is in 2nd place, but also surpasses athletes like Michael Jordan (3rd place), media personalities like Kim Kardashian (6th place) and even superstar Taylor Swift, who is in 14th place. place on the list.
20th Century Studios
The selection of celebrities stands out from Forbes’ regular list of richest people, led by entrepreneurs such as Bernard Arnault (CEO of LVMH), Jeff Bezos (founder of Amazon) and Mark Zuckerberg (founder of Facebook and CEO of Meta).
And Lucas didn’t acquire his wealth just from the popularity of his films. Instead, he moved up several billion on the list thanks to the sale of his company, Lucasfilm, to Disney in 2012. His last directorial effort was 2005’s Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith.
