It’s true. All of it. George Lucas, the creator of Star Wars, is the wealthiest celebrity in America, according to Forbes‘ list of such things.
Lucas’ net worth is $5.4 billion, thanks largely to that massive $4 billion payday he got in 2012 when the Walt Disney Company purchased Lucasfilm and all the Star Wars goodies that came with it. It was a win-win, considering Disney used it to churn out a brand-new trilogy of films, multiple blockbuster spin-offs, animated series, and multiple other live-action TV works coming down the pipe.
His net worth even succeeds Indiana Jones filmmaker Steven Spielberg ($3.7 billion), media mogul Oprah Winfrey ($2.8 billion), and basketball legend Michael Jordan ($1.7 billion).
Model/reality star Kylie Jenner, boosted by her Kylie Cosmetics, ties with rapper Jay-Z for fifth place at $900 million, followed by magician David Copperfield with $875 million.

I made that dude a lot of money. You’d think he’d throw a little my way.

One of those things is not like the others.

This is in spite of him putting up a housing project in Marin County as a “frick you” to the area for blocking expansion at Skywalker Ranch, IIRC.

That dude could film storm troopers taking a dump for 2 hours and the nerd LARPers would be camping out 3 days for tickets. He literally can't lose money because Star Wars nerds are mindless cultists

Has he done anything in the past decade or is he still cashing in on his that book Charles Dickens wrote about him?

Copperfield’s net worth is the most surprising out of who’s quoted in the OP.

More surprising than Jenner? Famous for being famous?

Yeah I had no clue David was so loaded. Must have made bank in Vegas for years

and all it cost him is his everlasting soul and the ruin of his most iconic creation.

I think tickets are crazy expensive for it too. Like $100+ per.

While surprising, it's right there. Not an illusion!

He's worked hard... that amount of wealth just doesn't show up out of thin air.

My last name is Lucas. You'd think that old frick would share a little.

I never got into the Star Wars craze.
