HARRISON FORD: ~ $300 MILLION

Harrison Ford was born in Illinois in 1942. Harrison Ford rose to the international scene after portraying Han Solo in the Star Wars trilogy. His career also expanded to a huge degree when he starred as Indiana Jones in the film series. He became a crowd favorite for his work in other drama and action films. For a while, the five most-grossing films in the world had Ford roles.

Five of Harrison Ford’s films are included in the National Film Catalog. In 2000, Ford received the AFI Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Film Institute. But did you know he used to work as a carpenter? It was his luck that he did some carpentry for Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas, who later helped him land a job in the show business. Now he is worth $300 million and a pilot himself, he owns 10 planes and a helicopter.
