Matthew McConaughey | Actor and Film Producer | $120 Million

The actor got his big break in Dazed and Confused and has since starred in many successful productions. From being a relatively unknown figure, he’s managed to establish himself as one of the industry’s biggest box-office draws. Despite the fortune he earns, though, it isn’t all about the money for McConaughey.

He turned down the lead role in a Magnum P.I. reboot, which offered him a $15 million salary. Instead, he opted to star in Dallas Buyers Club. Although the role only earned him $200,000, McConaughey won something much more valuable than money – an Academy Award for Best Actor! Other notable titles he starred in along the way include The Wolf of Wall Street, Mud, True Detective, Kubo and the Two Strings, Interstellar, and The Gentlemen. Outside the Hollywood spotlight, the actor is also quite skilled with his investment planning, which has undoubtedly helped him maintain his fortune through the years.
