Peter Jackson – $500m

He has quite a number of awards already to his name, and a fun fact is that he is also very passionate about historical preservation. Jackson blew world audiences away when he released the first installment in the Lord of the Rings trilogy and continued to captivate us all with the subsequent releases until the trilogy was completed.
