Sylvester Stallone became one of Hollywood's highest paid actors, usually playing monosyllablic, antisociety, underdog heroes. While Stallone has attempted to extend his range into film comedies and drama, his real box office success continues in action films. Stallone has an estimated net worth of $400 million.
He created two of the biggest movie franchises of all time, wrote eight scripts, generated nearly $4 billion for the studios, and has been spoken of in the same breath as Charlie Chaplin.
Like his original on-screen alter ego, Rocky Balboa, Sylvester Stallone has taken some punches, but also delivered many knockouts to go along with them. After simple beginnings and a movie debut in a skin flick, Stallone used a real-life boxing match and his own life experiences to craft Rocky, a timeless underdog story that made Rocky Balboa the modern-day movie underdog. By embodying tortured Vietnam vet John Rambo a few years later and lighting up the 1980s with Rocky and Rambo hits, Stallone lived out the true underdog, rags-to-riches dream of being one of Hollywood's biggest stars for over 30 years.
