Ron Howard | $200 Million

Even before he grasped the concept of matters such as student loans, Ron Howard was already well on his way into the entertainment industry. Starting as a child actor, Howard’s earlier gigs were for small or supporting roles for shows such as The Twilight Zone and Dennis the Menace. After a couple more stints, though, the child actor finally garnered fame for his performance as Opie Taylor in The Andy Griffith Show.

While acting may have been a good career for him to pursue, Howard felt the need to transition to a different line of work. Because of that, he eventually established himself as a filmmaker. Through the years, a couple of notable projects he has directed include Apollo 13, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, The Da Vinci Code, and Solo: A Star Wars Story. He now has an approximate net worth of $200 million.
