Kirk Douglas | Actor | $60 Million

Actor Kirk Douglas is a pillar in the industry. Born Issur Danielovitch, the actor first gained fame in the 1950s and became well-known for starring in serious dramas, as well as delivering explosive performances each time. Coming from the Golden Age of Hollywood, he starred alongside other iconic actors and actresses of the time, including the likes of Lauren Bacall. He jumpstarted his legendary career as an actor in the noir drama film The Strange Love of Martha Ivers, and, in no time, became one of the leading box-office stars in the industry. With countless successful productions to his credit, it isn’t surprising that he has also earned quite a significant wealth.

However, he gave most of it away to charity through The Douglas Foundation. A nod to his impoverished childhood and the success of his adult years. You can’t really remain the same, as long as you keep moving forward like Kirk did.
