Philip Anschutz has an estimated net worth of $12.1 billion as of April 2019. Anschutz got his start in oil and gas, has made a habit of getting in and out of new plays early. In late 2010 sold $3 billion worth of Marcellus shale gas and Bakken shale oil fields. Where to deploy that cash? Anschutz' privately held AEG controls 120 entertainment venues worldwide, including iconic arenas like the Staples Center in L.A. and The O2 arena in London.

Owner of concert venue company AEG also lords over NBA's LA Lakers and the NHL's Kings. His Walden Media has produced more than 30 films--mostly family-friendly fair like Hoot, The Tooth Fairy and the Narnia series--the latest of which, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, debuts Dec. 10.
