George Lucas is Highest-Paid Man in Hollywood


From worstpreviews, Forbes magazine already revealed that the highest-earning actor between June 2008 and June 2009 is Harrison Ford ($65 million) and the highest-earning actress is Angelina Jolie ($27 million).

But half of the top-earning men in Hollywood amounted their fortunes for their production work, not their star quality. And the topping the list is George Lucas with $170 million. But how did Lucas bring in so much cash?

Apparently, he was smart enough to hold onto the merchandizing rights to his "Star Wars" characters. He also wrote and produced "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," collecting on a lucrative deal that gave him a significant cut of the film's profits.
