World's richest filmmaker has $6.3 billion wealth; once Israeli spy, now richer than Spielberg, Tom Cruise, Taylor Swift
From owner of a bankrupt fertiliser company to an Israeli spy and eventually the world's richest filmmaker, a look at the unlikeliest Hollywood success story.
The new Forbes Billionaire List 2025 includes some changes in the rankings of the world's richest. Elon Musk has strengthened his hold on the spot and the United States is back with more billionaires than China. But a little lower down the rung, among the world of entertainment, there have been changes too, with one filmmaker eclipsing Hollywood biggies and emerging as the world's richest filmmaker.
World's richest filmmaker
Israeli businessman and filmmaker Arnon Milchan is currently the richest filmmaker in the world. The new Forbes list puts his enormous wealth at a staggering $6.3 billion. This is a 90% growth from last year, when Milchan's wealth was estimated at around $3.3 billion. The Israeli entrepreneur owns the film and TV production company New Regency Enterprises, which has produced films like Pretty Woman, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, The Revenant, Birdman and Bohemian Rhapsody. Over the course of his film career, Milchan has produced 130 films, including several blockbusters and a few Oscar winners too. Milchan also owns Israel's TV Channel 10, adding to his considerable wealth.
