Kevin Costner | $250 Million

Kevin Michael Costner is an American actor, film director, and producer. Over the years, he has received Academy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, a Primetime Emmy Award, and two Screen Actors Guild Awards. The actor began his career starring in Sizzle Beach, U.S.A. back in 1981. While he struggled in the beginning, he now has an estimated net worth of $250 million. He shares property with his wife Christine Baumgartner and lives happily in Aspen with their three children.

Prior to acting, Costner graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in marketing and finance. Richard Burton was the push he needed to decide to chase his life-long dream of becoming an actor. He had very little money then so he did numerous odd jobs while attending acting classes. Costner had a slew of failed auditions, but his perseverance certainly paid off. In 1990, he directed and starred in Dancing with Wolves and won seven Academy Awards including best film and best director.
