2. Steven Spielberg – $4.8 Billion (Approximately €4.5 Billion)
Legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg made waves in 1994 when he became the first director to grace Forbes’ billionaire list. With blockbuster hits such as “Jaws,” “Jurassic Park,” and “Schindler’s List,” Spielberg’s films have consistently dominated the box office.
