For Steven Spielberg, making money is as easy as making good movies. According to Forbes, the filmmaker is now worth $5.3 billion, placing him second to only George Lucas on the richest directors list. Much of Spielbergs income comes from his movies (which have collectively grossed over $10 billion) and dividends from DreamWorks, the popular studio he co-founded with David Geffen in the mid-’90s. The filmmaker also gets a bite out of every ticket in the Universal theme parks because his Indiana Jones and Jurassic Park franchises are a major part of the attraction.
