World's richest directors: Do you know who is the richest celebrity? A rich man whose wealth has reduced to less than 100 people. Interestingly, these rich stars are not actors or actresses. The total wealth of this person is 9.4 billion dollars i.e. about 80 thousand crore rupees. So let's talk about it today.
It was none other than American filmmaker George Lucas. He has done only six films in his career. But he has achieved the title of being the richest celebrity in the world.. This has been recorded in the report of Bloomberg..
In which, as of October 2024, George Lucas's net worth has been recorded at $7.7 billion. Apart from this, another source has revealed that his wealth is 9.4 billion dollars. In terms of wealth, George Lucas has left behind even the world's famous people. ,
The most surprising thing is that George Lucas is known for his direction. But he directed only 6 films in his career. These include films like THX 1138 (1971), American Graffiti (1973), Star Wars (1977). There have been three parts of Star Wars so far. His last film was released in 2005.
People wonder how they can become rich with just 6 movies. George Lucas's only source of such wealth is the entertainment industry. Two big franchises are the main reason for his wealth. He is the creator and producer of the world's most expensive franchises like Star Wars and Indiana Jones.
Talking about the Star Wars franchise, it had earned more than $50 billion worldwide. As a producer, Lucas gets even more money from this. As far as the Indiana Jones franchise is concerned, it is earning crores of rupees… and even today the popularity of both of them has not decreased at all.
Today, George Lucas also owns the video game company “Lucas Arts,” the visual effects company Industrial Light & Magic, and the audio company THX. Additionally, Lucas sold the Star Wars (IP) to Disney. But even today he is getting royalty as per the agreement.
