TED TURNER | 81, $2.2 BILLION

Though he’s not considered a celebrity, many personalities that we are seeing on our television screens wouldn’t be there if it weren’t for Ted Turner. He’s one of the leading figures when it comes to news and current affairs. If you didn’t know what we meant, he simply just established the first all-day cable news channel which is pretty popular right now, the CNN.

In addition, he founded WTBS, the concept in cable TV, which later became TBS. Ted Turner also created the environmental-themed animated series Captain Planet and the Planeteers. His series of investments in mass media gave him a huge amount of fame and money, which he uses for his philanthropic works. Turner was the man behind the $1 billion support to the United Nations that paved the way for establishing the U.N.
