James Cameron | Filmmaker | $700 Million

Canadian-born director James Cameron is the creative genius behind some of the biggest Hollywood blockbusters we have all come to love. His work includes Aliens, Titanic, The Terminator, Avatar, The Abyss, and Rambo II, to mention a few. Domestically, his films have managed to gross over $1.9 billion! Before getting his breakthrough as a director, James also worked on the special effects team for John Carpenter’s Escape from New York. He was also a production designer for the Galaxy of Terror. Quite a talent, this man is in the field!

Among his greatest successes, of course, are Titanic and Avatar. Both are counted as the highest-grossing films of all time, with credit to his brilliant storytelling and cinematography. With a net worth of $700 million, there’s nothing this man can’t do in the world, but he seems to be not done yet in Hollywood as he continues to aspire to make great and timeless movies.
