Spike Lee – $40 Million

The 62-year-old American filmmaker Spike Lee is the owner of 40 Acres and a Mule Filmworks. Since 1983, the company has created over 35 movies. Most people don’t pay attention to the directors of films, and therefore it is likely that you have seen some of Lee’s movies. Malcolm X, 25th Hour, and Inside Man are some of his productions that have generated substantial profits. Through his successful career as a producer and director, Lee has whipped up a fortune of $40 million, give or take. His wealth includes million-dollar pieces of real estate in Manhattan, Martha’s Vineyard, and Brooklyn.
