From Mr. Olympia to California Governor, his turn as an action star was just a jump beside the huge pool of real estate he owns, equity in some top investment firms, and brand value accrued over decades. These factors, along with Hollywood glory, have made him a billion-dollar monster.

Boom! The Rock is on the List. From laying the smackdown in WWE to rocking the box office in Jumanji and Fast & Furious, The Rock is a force of nature. But it’s his tequila brand, Teremana, that poured in the big bucks, alongside smart endorsements, TV deals, and fitness empires. He didn’t just smell what success was cookin’-he bottled it and sold it!

Whether it is hanging onto the outside of an Air Force fighter jet in Mission: Impossible or speeding down memory lane in Top Gun, Tom Cruise never does anything halfway.
