WILL SMITH—EST. $350 Million

Despite his early success in music, his reckless financial management brought Smith to the brink of bankruptcy in 1990. He then signed a contract with NBC to star in the new prince of bel air. The show was a great success and helped Smith start his acting career.

Will Smith, with his $350 million, is definitely too rich to have to worry about his great-great-grandkids needing to work a day in their lives. In fact, just a few years ago, he was considered one of the most bankable stars in Hollywood, as he churned out hit after hit at the box office. Granted, some of his latest films have flopped so horribly that he can no longer be said to be carrying that mantle, but he’s nevertheless been able to achieve so much in such a short time that even if his money management skills were as egregious as his latest film, Gemini Man, it’s doubtful that money would ever be something he’ll be worrying about.
