MEL GIBSON – $430 MILLION

The Braveheart director and star, Mel Gibson, was one of the hottest tickets during his peak in his acting and directorial career. After getting his degree in college, Mel landed the lead role in Mad Max. It was in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome that helped him attain a $1 million paycheck. His first ever film in America was in The River which he starred alongside Sissy Spacek. He later appeared in Lethal Weapon along with its sequels together with Danny Glover. Let’s not forget that he also released numerous films like The Patriot, The Passion of Christ, and Apocalypto. Indeed, these iconic films paved the way for Mel to achieve $430 million in net worth.

However, the actor disappeared from the entertainment industry after being embroiled in several controversies, costing him a lot of his money. The actor has managed to get back on the saddle with his film, Hacksaw Ridge, which earned numerous nominations, including Best Director. Stars like Jodie Foster and Robert Downey Jr. helped him get back into the entertainment industry, but Mel still has a long way to go to impress his fans once more.
