Julia Roberts
We all know that million-dollar smile from a mile away. Since her role in Pretty Woman, that smile is now worth considerably more: an estimated $170-million.

George Clooney
George Clooney was raised by hollywood actress Rosemary Clooney and watched firsthand how a successful career should look.

The old adage remains true: It takes money to make more money.
John Travolta
Never has a worse actor made more money than John Travolta. I defy you to prove me wrong. From Vinny Barbarino to Vincent Vega, Travolta has amassed a fortune estimated $170 million.

Besides working as a director, voice actor and activist, Redford created the Sundance Film Festival, which has become a world-class celebration of film.
