JERRY BRUCKHEIMER—EST. $1 BILLION

Jerry Bruckheimer, born in the United States on September 21, 1945, graduated from the University of Arizona, Hollywood gold producer. In the 1970s, Jerry Bruckheimer gave up his preferential treatment in the advertising agency for his own film dream and began to engage in film production and performance.

With shows like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and movies like Pirates of the Caribbean under his belt, it is no curious thing that American film and television producer Jerry Bruckheimer was able to amass enough money to bankroll a small country. He’s got his own unique style, too; indeed, every single Bruckheimer film feels exactly like a Bruckheimer film—they are bombastic, in your face, big-budgeted, CGI-infested adrenaline flicks that tick the audience’s boxes but not so much the critics’. They are formulaic, to be sure, but to old Jerry’s credit, they bring in the big bucks.
