ALAIN DELON | $200 MILLION

Alain Delon used to be the talk of the town during the ‘60s and ‘70s. He is a famous actor who dominated the big screen with his critically-acclaimed credit roles in Rocco and His Brothers, Plein Soleil, L’Eclisse, The Leopard, The Yellow Rolls-Royce, Los Command, and Le Samourai. In his time in the business, the now-85-year-old star has worked with some of the best directors, like Luchino Visconti, Jean-Luc Godard, Jean-Pierre Melville, Michelangelo Antonioni, and Louis Malle—you name it, and he has worked with them.

He earned $200 million in revenue from the distribution of movies and TV shows, with an annual income of more than US$80 million. While busy making a name in the entertainment world, Delon was also tending on his business career. After the success of having a perfume label in his name, the French actor started selling different products under his name, from wristwatches to clothing to eyewear and more. His rare vintage sunglasses also gained huge success in Hong Kong when Chow Yun-fat wore them. From here, Delon didn’t only make it big in the entertainment scene but in entrepreneurship, too.
