MICKEY ROURKE – $15 MILLION

Mickey Rourke was born in Schenectady, New York, on September 16, 1952. Even though he is an excellent boxer, he is also a powerful actor. Mickey Rourke started as a boxer but eventually joined in the entertainment business as an actor and later a screenwriter. He started working at a young age after relocating to Miami. At 12 years old, Rourke already had his first boxing match. From here, he began to train hard to hone his talents more at a gym. He then went head-to-head with the likes of Benvenuti and Luis Rodriguez.

He started his acting career when a friend dared him to audition for the play Deathwatch. With his undeniable talent, he got the part. So, he asked his sister for a $400 money loan to relocate to New York and enrolled in acting classes there. From then on, the rest was history, as he started to make an international name for himself.
