As of March 2017, according to Bloomberg, Steven Allan Spielberg, an American film director, screenwriter, producer, video game designer, and studio owner, had an estimated nett worth of $5.41 billion. The renowned Hollywood director earned $325 million from India’s Reliance Industries (down from a hoped-for $1.5 billion), extracted another $325 million from a syndicated bank loan, and struck a distribution agreement with Disney after seizing control of his DreamWorks company from Viacom’s Paramount Pictures in 2009. “I am number 4” (authored by disgraced memoirist James Frey), the studio’s first Disney film, was released in February 2011. Spielberg is still a very successful producer, bringing in money from movies like “Real Steel,” “Super 8,” and the most recent “Transformers” movie. Spielberg is making a significant move into television. He’s the force behind four shows currently airing, including the NBC Broadway musical show “Smash.”
