Sean Connery – $350 Million
Considering his humble beginning with his mum working as a cleaner while his dad was a factory worker, it’s impressive that the late Sean Connery was worth $350 million at the time of his passing. Connery was offered a contract by a ‘Manchester United’ talent scout when he was 23, but after thinking about the opportunity and realizing most athletes retire by 30, this now-deceased star opted for acting – smart guy!
After portraying ‘James Bond’ in seven films, this award-winning celebrity gained the attention of notable directors, with the best bidder getting him. Connery made as much as $10 million per film, and with more than 63 acting credits, you do the math.
