George Lucas
The American filmmaker is well known for bringing the Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises to life on the big screen.

Steven Spielberg
It's only natural that the man who helped bring the Indiana Jones films to life is also on this list. In addition to that series, Spielberg has plenty of other hits, including award-nominated films. He won Best Director for 1994's "Schindler's List" and 1999's "Saving Private Ryan." His film "The Post" was nominated in 2018. Spielberg's worth is estimated to be $3.7 billion.
