MATT DAMON – EST. $200 MILLION

We know how talented Matt Damon is and how popular the Bourne Identity franchise has become since he starred in it. He has been active in the film industry since the mid-1990s and he is one of the highest-grossing actors of all time. He starred in the science fiction film The Martian, which won him nominations for an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Awards.

However, the actor’s income doesn’t solely depend on the films he works on. Together with Sean Bailey, Ben Affleck, and Chris Moore, they founded the production company, Live Planet. It is through this company that their documentary Project Greenlight was produced. As a collective, they aim to find worthwhile film projects from talented novice filmmakers, then fund its production. In 2010, he and Ben Affleck made investments towards Pearl Street Films, which is a Warner Bros.’ based production company. He is also actively involved in charity.
