They have dedicated their lives to entertaining the whole world, and being a celeb means putting in hard work which pays off eventually through massively huge earnings.
The rest of us can only follow their lives with envy because we can only dream about the staggering amounts that these celebrities make. We are happy to keep track of just how much some of these stars are worth. Here’s a list of our favorite celebrities and their jaw-dropping wealth.
Will Smith – Est. $300 Million
Will Smith became a household name after appearing on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and before that, he had become popular as a '90s rapper. After the show concluded its six-season run, Smith transitioned to the big screen. He still holds the bragging rights of being the only actor to have appeared in eight consecutive movies that grossed upwards of $100M at the domestic box office. Forbes even recognizes the star as being amongst the most bankable entertainers, and it's also supported by the massively huge paychecks he commands per project. Smith is set to star in the 2019 movies Gemini Man and The Genie.
Celine Dion – Est. $800 Million
Celine Dion has been gracing the airwaves since the '80s, belting out some of the most iconic soulful hits. She started out recording in her native French-Canadian language but soon enough transitioned to releasing English albums. Her initial albums in English Falling Into You and Let’s Talk About Love flung her into global fame. Dion released a series of chart-topping singles off of the albums, including the Titanic soundtrack My Heart Will Go On. In 2016, Dion suffered a tough loss when cancer claimed the life of her husband, Rene Angelil.

Tucker Carlson has been a journalist for almost 30 years now and his popularity has been through the roof at times. Born in California, Tucker gained popularity in the 90s when he came though as a young and enthusiastic talk show host. Current, Tucker appears on Tucker Carlson Tonight and still has a lot of fan following. Therefore, we can safely say that the $20 million net worth he has is well deserved. Tucker's house in Washington D.C is absolutely gorgeous and he is a fan of driving vintage cars. It won't be a surprise if we see Tucker's net worth increase even further in the coming years.
Richard Gere — Est. $120 Million
Richard Gere has been on our screens since the '70s, allowing him to amass $120M. We can assume that given that we haven’t heard his name attached to any financial issues, he’s on top of his finances and won't be following in the footsteps of Nicolas Cage. The crime drama American Gigolo shot him to fame in 1980 and since then, he’s appeared in numerous other films, including The Diner and Three Christs. As an outspoken activist, Gere made some comments which perhaps he shouldn't have. No one has a problem with Gere expressing his point of view, only with the fact that he did it at the Academy Awards, leading to his expulsion from all future Oscar ceremonies.

He derives the majority of his income from the Combs Enterprises that includes his clothing line, his 50% stake in Ciroc vodka, the major equity he holds on Revolt TV, and his contribution to Aquahydrate.
Jackie Chan – Est. $370 Million
Most people wouldn’t recognize the name Datuk Chan Kong-sang, but mention Jackie Chan and it all lines up. Kong-sang became globally popular from his appearances in comedy-action films that often saw him performing incredible stunts while fighting in a unique acrobatic style. He’s said to have made appearances in upwards of 150 films since kicking off his acting career back in the '60s. Some of his notable credits include the Rush Hour films, The Karate Kid, the Kung Fu Panda films, and The Tuxedo.

Woods is estimated to earn $50M annual payments totaling to an estimated $800-million fortune. In September 2018, he rose back to the winners’ circle after his five-year “drought” from tournament wins. He’s also currently one of the top contenders for the much-anticipated 2019 Masters.

In 2003, she dropped Dangerously In Love, her first solo album, which helped her bag several prestigious awards and sold millions of copies worldwide.
