The Forbes list of the 400 wealthiest people in the United States is revealed, and the Maker George Lucas – he might not be the wealthiest, but who else on here is a Black Series action figure? – comes in at a mightily healthy number 124 with an estimated wealth of $7.2bn.
‘Star Wars’ creator George Lucas has largely retired from filmmaking since he sold his Lucasfilm to Disney in 2012 for $4.1 billion in stock and cash.
Lucas is now focused on philanthropy: his charitable family foundation has more than $1 billion in assets.
Lucas attended junior college in his hometown of Modesto, California where his parents ran a stationary store, before attending USC.
He founded Lucasfilm, his production company, in 1971 and built his fortune through his movies and their merchandise.
The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art will open in Los Angeles in 2021 and is entirely funded by Lucas and his wife, Mellody Hobson.
