Mel Gibson | $425 Million

Aside from being a heartthrob actor during the 1980s, Mel Gibson made a name for himself as a successful filmmaker as well. He was first known as the lead star of the hugely successful Lethal Weapon film series, but he finally received international acclaim upon the release of the Academy-Award winning film Braveheart in 1995. However, Gibson proved to the world that his talents don’t only lie in acting. He is also widely regarded as a successful director, who made memorable films such as Apocalypto and The Passion of the Christ.

Unsurprisingly, Gibson has used his wealth to improve and diversify his real estate portfolio. He has multiple properties in Malibu, Costa Rica, Fiji, and throughout Australia. He sold his Kiewa Valley farm for $6 million in 2004 and bought his own private island in Mago Island, Fiji, for $15 million. We’re sure he didn’t need to take out any personal loans for these assets.
