Who is the richest actor on the planet?

All actors are philanthropists, politicians, musicians, waiters, marketeers, booze makers, ...

Did this person earn the dough through acting or waiting tables?

John Goodman!

Jar Jar Binks?

Jami Getz - not sure who she is.

Jennifer Garner.

Jack Nicholson?

If so, Phil Hartman (RIP) did an amazing sendup of him and his investments filtered through probably his most famous scene from "Five Easy Pieces."

It's on YouTube, but you have to play VPN roulette to figure out which country NBC hasn't blocked it from. Here's a transcript that doesn't quite do it justice:

Didn’t get her money from acting. Definitely the Rock

See my post re: prenup. You are incorrect.

Elon Musk was in Ironman.

It's not Dwayne Jackson. Tyler Perry and Oprah are both billionaires. The lady from Seinfeld isn't listed as a billionaire online but she is a billionaire. Her family were wealthy Montana miners.

Jessica Alba

I guess it’s a vague question then. Where do we draw the line of richest actor? Someone who has acted? Are we talking if they made their money from acting? I know I’m really adamant about the Rock but you can’t deny that he has made the most money from just ACTING. The amount of money he makes from each movie is the highest. Jay Z is a billionaire but he did not make all his money from making music. Seinfeld’s wealth mostly comes from syndication of his tv show, every time it plays, he gets paid.

that’s why I asked earlier what the criteria is

Julia Louis Dreyfus is from the Dreyfus family who has money everywhere, Dreyfus fund fame. She is also related the Dreyfus of the Dreyfus Affair, which roiled France about 125 years ago

The old time Hollywood stars who were rich made money buying land in the 30s and 40s. I think Fred MacMurray was one of the richest even while keeping Ernie under control.

Its Jessica Alba after she started the "Honest" business. Others who were not mentioned who are up there are Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has over a billion, and if you count The Apprentice, Donald Trump. I think Chloe Moretz is also from a very rich family but I don't think it's her money yet.

Also, you can't believe celebrity net worth when you google it. I have a credit as an executive producer for a terrible movie that never made any money (I loaned my college roommate a couple grand to enter it into film fests in return for the credit) and CNW lists my net worth as $10 million strictly because I have a movie credit. I wouldn't have known this until I read about it somewhere else and then I googled myself and found out I'm worth $10 mil. I wonder where that money is, I could use some right now.

Actress Taylor Swift, star of box office blockbusters Valentine's Day, The Lorax, Amsterdam, and Cats, as well as doing television work for CSI and New Girl, is worth over a billion.

I hadn't heard of her either to be honest. I was curious so I looked up a list of best paid actors and she is indeed at the top.

Even though she is an actress, it looks like a lot of her success is due to owning an NBA team (Atlanta Hawks). But quite a few of the people on that list have similar, money coming from outside ventures.

She got rich off her husband.

It is claimed that she is worth around $3billion but, despite commanding a screen career spanning decades, the majority of her money doesn’t come from her acting efforts.

Jami married businessman Tony Ressler in 1989, and went on to welcome four children with him – sons Oliver, Nicholas and Theo, and daughter Abigail.

The billionaire, 64, made his fortune by co-founding private equity firm Apollo Global in 1990, with his brother-in-law, Leon Black.

He then co-founded Ares Management less than a decade later, before stepping down as CEO in 2017.
