Ian McKellen: $60 Million

Undoubtedly one of the most decorated actors in history, Sir Ian McKellen has achieved legendary status in his field. You’d think he would be worth more than $60 million after appearing in hugely successful productions like the “Lord of the Rings” franchise and the “X-Men” films. After all, to date, many instantly recognize him as Gandalf from the former, while others remember him as Magneto.

In the seven decades of watching this veteran on our screens, he has maintained his reputation as an exceptional stage actor and won countless awards. His career began with school plays and performances and eventually evolved to theater acting before he found himself in film.
