Richard Gere â Est. $120 Million
Richard Gere has been on our screens since the '70s, allowing him to amass $120M.

The crime drama American Gigolo shot him to fame in 1980 and since then, heâs appeared in numerous other films, including The Diner and Three Christs. As an outspoken activist, Gere didnât hold back from criticizing China when they occupied Tibet in 1993. 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.

After all, Parkerâs 25 years old by now and has mined more than $10 million in gold!
