Introduction

Clint Eastwood is an American professional actor and filmmaker with an estimated net worth of $375 Million.

In what can only be described as one of the longest and most prolific acting careers of all time, Clint Eastwood has starred in at least one film from each of the last eight decades. Not too many share that honor. During his career, Eastwood earned millions from acting in, producing, and directing films in Hollywood.

Film Salaries

While Clint Eastwood’s acting career has spanned more than 70 projects, earning him as much as $12 million per film, his production career has also been incredibly successful. Thus, the $54 million total above only accounts for a small portion of his film salaries and earnings overall. It also doesn’t account for inflation, considering that most of these salaries occurred between 1955 and 1986. We’ve estimated that the inflation-adjusted total is closer to $120 million. 

Early Films Salaries

When Eastwood began film acting in the 1950s, he was typically paid anywhere between $75 and $750 per film. Since this was over seventy years ago, we should probably adjust the values for inflation. In 1955, Clint received a $100 salary from Francis in the Navy, which would equate to $1,199 in today’s currency. The following year, he earned $750 ($8,864) from The First Traveling Saleslady and $75 ($886) from Star in the Dust. His last known salary from the 50s was an additional $750 ($8,342) for playing Keith Williams in Ambush at Cimarron Pass (1958).

1960s Film Earnings

In the 1960s, Clint Eastwood began commanding significantly higher salaries, starting with his $15,000 paycheck for starring in A Fistful of Dollars (1964). Inflation-adjusted, this would equate to $155,500 today. He also earned $50,000 for starring in For a Few Dollars More and $250,000 for The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. The latter would equal $2.48 million today, showing a dramatic increase in Eastwood’s popularity. He closed out the decade with earnings of $750,000 for Where Eagles Dare, $400,000 for Hang ‘Em High, and $500,000 for Paint Your Wagon. 

For all the films mentioned above, his combined earnings, adjusted for inflation, would equate to over $18 million in today’s currency.

Peak Career Earnings

Moving into the next decade, there’s only one confirmed paycheck for this period, which was a $12 million salary for Every Which Way But Loose (1978). $12 million in the 1970s was a substantial amount of money, equivalent to approximately $59.2 million in today’s currency. Even today, it’s very rare to see an actor earn over $50 million for a single film, and salaries typically top out between $20 million and $30 million. 

For the remainder of his acting career, Eastwood consistently commanded multiple seven figures per film, including $5 million for City Heat (1984), $6 million for Pale Rider (1985), and $10 million for Heartbreak Ridge (1986). These three films from the 1980s have a combined total of $21 million and $62.7 million after adjusting for inflation.

Highest-Grossing Movies

Several of Eastwood’s highest-grossing movies originate from cameo roles or production work, including American Sniper, which grossed $548 million at the box office. As for lead roles, Gran Torino scored the highest at the box office, grossing $270 million, and Million Dollar Baby earned $217 million.

The oldest film on the list, in eighth place, is In the Line of Fire ($177 million), produced in 1993. In ninth place is The Mule ($175 million), which is coincidentally the most recent film, made in 2018.

Introduction

Phil Collins is an English professional musician, singer, record producer, and actor with an estimated net worth of $350 Million. 

Quick Facts

• Genesis sold over 100 million records worldwide
• Sold their catalog to Conrad Music Group for $300 million in 2022
• Lost at least $80 million of his fortune in divorce settlements
• This includes his $45 million settlement to Orianne Cevey

Before Wealth & Fame

Although Phil Collins is best known as a musician, some may not be aware that he was also an actor and model during his childhood. He initially appeared as an extra in The Beatles’ music video for “A Hard Day’s Night” and played a minor role in Calamity the Cow (1969). In addition, because Collins’ mother was a theatre agent, she secured several modeling gigs and TV commercials for him.

Collin began playing the drums at the age of five and was predominantly self-taught by listening to other records and playing along. He first performed in London stage productions such as Oliver, which helped him boost his confidence and improve his skills.

Music Career

In 1970, Phil Collins saw an advertisement in the Melody Maker newspaper for the band Genesis, which was seeking a new drummer. Their original drummer, John Mayhew, had left the band, so Collins responded to the ad and auditioned at the house of Peter Gabriel’s parents in Surrey, England.

Collins landed the gig and became the band’s drummer from 1970 to 1975. During this time, Genesis released four studio albums: Nursery Cryme (1971), Foxtrot (1972), Selling England by the Pound (1973), and The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (1974). The first two albums were relatively successful in the United Kingdom, with Foxtrot being their first album to reach gold certification. However, the latter two began seeing additional success from the North American markets. Both of them sold over 500,000 copies in the United States.

Despite this initial success, the best was yet to come. When Peter Gabriel left the band in 1975, Phil Collins assumed the role of lead singer. Several years later, Genesis’ albums began to reach platinum certification in multiple countries. Their 1978 album, …And Then There Were Three, was the first to sell over a million copies in the United States. When they released Duke in 1980, it reached platinum certification in both the United Kingdom and the United States.

From the mid-80s to the early 1990s, Genesis released three albums: Genesis (1983), Invisible Touch (1986), and We Can’t Dance (1991). All three albums sold over 4 million copies in the US and gained additional certifications from new global audiences, including the Netherlands and New Zealand. They were the most successful albums of the band’s career. Genesis released a total of 15 studio albums and sold over 100 million records worldwide.

Genesis Catalog Sale

In September 2022, Collins and two of his Genesis bandmates, Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks, announced the sale of all their publishing and recording rights to Conrad Music Group. According to the group’s president, Bob Valentine, the deal stemmed from the relationship established during the 2017 acquisition of Imagem Music Group.

Sources obtained by The Wall Street Journal indicate that the deal is valued at $300 million, making it one of the largest music deals in history. Official figures have not been released. However, based on the previous catalog sales of other artists, such as Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen, $300 million is likely a realistic figure.

The deal encompasses all three members’ solo material, Genesis’ iconic recordings, and some of Rutherford’s works with Mike & The Mechanics. However, it does not include any of Peter Gabriel’s and former member Steve Hackett’s creations.

As Collins, Rutherford, and Banks are all in their 70s, they’ve likely decided to cash in on their intellectual property early to provide financial support for estate planning and to avoid complicated legal matters regarding inheritance and tax planning.

Divorce Settlements

Andrea Bertorelli Settlement

Phil Collins married Andrea Bertorelli in 1975, and the couple divorced in 1980. They had two children together, one of whom was adopted. The settlement figure was never publicly disclosed, although reports suggest it could have been between $10 million and $15 million.

Jill Tavelman Settlement

Collins then married Jill Tavelman in 1984, and the couple stayed married for twelve years. When they divorced in 1996, Tavelman reportedly received a $25 million settlement.

Orianne Cevey Settlement

Phil Collins was married to Orianne Cevey for eight years, from 1999 to 2007, and the couple had two children together. However, in 2008, Cevey initiated divorce proceedings in the Swiss court, where they both resided at the time. The divorce was finalized that year, with Orianne receiving a $45 million settlement.

Almost a decade later, the couple reconciled, and Orianne began living in Collins’ Miami mansion, which was worth an estimated $40 million at the time. In 2020, they once again split up, and Cevey tried to claim a 50% ownership interest in the home ($20 million). Her claim was later dismissed.
