Kevin Costner — $250 Million

At the peak of Kevin Costner’s career in the ’80s and ’90s, he was named one of the show business’s highest-paid actors. During his career, he has received a Primetime Emmy Award, two Academy Awards, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, among many others. Aside from being an actor, Costner is also a producer and director. He now has a staggering net worth of $250 million.

The actor began pursuing the entertainment industry after earning his college degree in the late ’70s. He was inspired by actor Richard Burton, who encouraged him to chase his longtime dream. He subsequently made it to Hollywood the hard way by enrolling in acting classes, working various odd jobs, signing up for auditions, and earning very little money. His hard work paid off, though, and soon, he started to break into full-time acting in the ’80s after a brief stint in a movie in the mid-’70s.
