HARRISON FORD—EST. $230 MILLION

Harrison Ford was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1942. When he was a teenager, Ford had no interest in acting, didn’t like watching movies very much, and often liked to be alone. He had to drop out of high school because he couldn’t hand in his thesis before graduation. At this time, he began to have the idea of becoming an actor. So in 1964, he came to Los Angeles Hollywood and entered the local performing arts school.

Harrison Ford’s famous for playing Indiana Jones, the swashbuckling archaeologist who’s constantly in search of a treasure of one kind or another. In real life, however, there exists real treasure in Ford’s bank account, to the tune of $230 million. Of course, it wasn’t the role that put Ford on the Hollywood map—that distinction goes to Hans Solo, one of the primary characters of the Star Wars Franchise, a role that extricated Ford from his roof repairing carpentry days and transported him into the big screen.
