10 Richest Actors in the World

Another year, another ranking for our top richest actors in the world. This is not a ranking for highest paid actors but their wealth accumulated. Well most of the rich are from Hollywood but we can't deny that Indian Actors are there. I will not be surprised next time Chinese Actors will be included in the list also.

It’s no secret that actors are well off. The amount of money that actors make is usually public knowledge, and the amount they’re making seems to be getting higher every film. Hollywood is not about to go broke anytime soon, so they’re able to pay big money to their actors/actresses. Those who are curious about which actors currently are worth the most, should look no further. Here is the list for the top ten richest actors in the world.

 1.0 Jerry Seinfeld - $820 Million

 Jerry Seinfeld is one of the world’s most popular comedians and his television show, respectfully named Seinfeld, is regarded as one of the best television shows of all time. Most people don’t know that his full name is actually Jerome Allen Seinfeld. For the most part, the comedian has stepped away from the limelight and hasn’t appeared on television very much. At the end of 2014, Seinfeld was reported to be the world’s richest actor.

 2.0 Shah Rukh Khan - $600 Million

 Other wise known as “The King of Bollywood” this star is one of the richest movie stars in the world. He has starred in over 75 Hindi films and countless other international titles. He’s considered one of the richest men on earth, but he is very generous with his money. His philanthropist efforts have been a huge help to organisations like UNESCO.

 3.0 Tom Cruise - $480 Million

Tom Cruise

 It’s no surprise that this action star has made the list. He’s a very popular actor and is a very successful film producer. Some of his lifestyle choices may be questionable to the public’s eye, but it’s no doubt that the man knows how to act. He’s most popular films include Top Gun, Few Good Men, and the Mission Impossible franchise.

 4.0 Johnny Depp - $450 Million

 This eccentric actor has been intriguing audiences for years now. His most popular role to date is his portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of The Caribbean series. The franchise is one of the most successful in history, thanks to Depp’s performance. He is also the owner of the production company Infinitum Nihil.

 5.0 Tom Hanks - $390 Million

 Tom Hanks is a man of many hats. He’s been an actor, screenwriter, director, and producer. Over his many years of being in the industry, he has won countless accolades for his roles in films like Cast Away, Catch Me If You Can, Apollo 13, Toy Story, Da Vinci Code, You’ve Got Mail and so many other films.

 6.0 Keanu Reeves - $350 Million

 This Canadian actor hit it big time with the film The Matrix. His career prior to that was primarily comedy films, so moviegoers were shocked to see the actor appear in such an action-heavy film. Since then, Reeves has become a pretty credible action star. 

7.0 Sylvester Stallone - $275 Million

 From popular films like Rocky and Rambo, Sylvester Stallone is one of Hollywood’s most recognizable action stars. In recent years, he’s revitalized his acting career by revisiting his old franchises, but the popular star also spends a lot of time behind the camera.

 8.0 Leonardo Di Caprio - $215 Million

 Leonardo DiCaprio is one of Hollywood’s most popular actors and for good reason. The actor fully commits himself to his roles and always gives a great performance. His breakthrough role was in the highest grossing film of all time, Titanic.

 9.0 Will Smith - $215 Million

 This iconic Hollywood actor has become a household name everywhere. His humble beginnings in the television series Fresh Prince of Bel-Air all the way to his newest film Suicide Squad, the actor has created quite a career for himself.

 10.0 Salman Khan - $200 Million

 This 48-year-old actor is one of Bollywood’s hottest stars. He is one of the most iconic Bollywood actors and has a huge following in his home country.

Hillary Clinton became millionaire because of Wall Street

Wall Street has made Hillary Clinton a millionaire.

As Clinton tries to talk tough about how she will stand up to America's biggest banks, her Democratic rivals are likely to remind voters just how cozy she's been with Wall Street.

Clinton made $3.15 million in 2013 alone from speaking to firms like Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank and UBS, according to the list her campaign released of her speaking fees.

Hillary Clinton

"Her closeness with big banks on Wall Street is sincere, it's heart-felt, long-established and well known," former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley has said on the campaign trail.

While Clinton has given paid speeches to many groups, Wall Street banks and investment houses made up a third of her speech income.

She even made more money speaking to UBS and Goldman Sachs than her husband Bill did. Goldman Sachs in New York paid Bill $200,000 for a speech in June 2013 and Hillary $225,000 for a speech in October of that year.

Clinton's Wall Street ties likely to be debate issue

"If the other candidates want to make this an issue, they've got plenty of material," says Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics.

Sabato predicts O'Malley or Jim Webb are more likely to go negative on Clinton in the CNN debate Tuesday, but even Bernie Sanders may be able to take a sideswipe when it comes to Wall Street.

Sanders has been outspoken that the big banks are still "too big to fail" and should be broken up.

Clinton's anti-Wall Street policies stop far short of that, with proposals to tax short-term trading and impose a "risk fee" on big banks with assets over $50 billion.

Wall Street's reaction to her plan to regulation big banks was mostly a sigh of relief.

"We continue to believe Clinton would be one of the better candidates for financial firms," one analyst wrote.

Wall Street has been a top supporter of Clinton's career

As a former senator from New York, it is not surprising that Hillary Clinton would have a close connection to the financial world. But Wall Street continues to be a big contributor to her political career.

In her 2008 run for president, JPMorgan (JPM), Goldman Sachs (GS), Citigroup (C)and Morgan Stanley (MS)employees were among her top campaign contributors, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

Tabulating campaign contributions for her entire senate political career shows that four of the top five her contributors are Wall Street banks (Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley).

In contrast, Sander's career campaign contribution list is almost entirely made up of union groups.

Republicans likely to have even more Wall Street ties

Clinton has tried to re-cast herself in this campaign. She shunned Manhattan for her campaign headquarters, opting to locate in hip Brooklyn.

She also did not list out where her speaking fees came from on her 2014 tax return, although she made about the same overall for speeches -- around $10 million -- as she did in 2013.

Still, her ties to big banks could be a problem in the Democratic primary, making it more difficult for her to appeal to the far left of her party. But if she becomes the Democratic candidate, her banking connections probably won't be as big of a deal on Election Day.

"The GOP candidate is likely to have even more time with, and donations from, Wall Street," says Sabato.

Miss Tourism International Rizzini Alexis Gomez is Dead

Miss Tourism International Rizzini Alexis Gomez died because of lung cancer. She is 25 years old.

Former beauty queen Rizzini Alexis Gomez passed away on Tuesday at the age of 25 due to lung cancer.

 

She is the daughter of former Alaska guard and University of Cebu coach Roehl Gomez, who confirmed the news to friends in the basketball community.

 

The younger Gomez was named Miss Tourism during the Mutya ng Pilipinas 2012 grand coronation night before winning the Miss Tourism International title that year.

Later, she served as muse for Alaska for the PBA's opening ceremonies in 2013. Shortly afterwards, she was diagnosed with cancer.

 

Through former Roehl's former teammate Jojo Lastimosa, PBA stars came together last week for a benefit game in part to help out with her medical bills. 

 

Lastimosa's wife Butchik told GMA News Online that Rizzini was brought to the intensive care unit on Monday. They received sad news of her demise in the morning.

 

Rizzini's ordeal came as a surprise to those close to her family.

 

"Parang aggressive yung cancer ni Rizzi, it spread fast," said Butchik, who added that the beauty queen had just turned 25 last August. 

 

In 2012, Rizzini was featured on Saksi after her victory in the international pageant.
