American film director, screenwriter, producer, video game designer, and studio entrepreneur, Steven Allan Spielberg has an estimated net worth of $5.41 billion as of March 2017, according to Bloomberg. After wresting his DreamWorks studio from Viacom's Paramount Pictures in 2009, the famed Hollywood director received $325 million from India's Reliance Industries (down from a hoped-for $1.5 billion), pulled another $325 million from a syndicated bank deal and signed a distribution deal with Disney. The studio's first Disney release was "I am number 4" (written by disgraced memoirist James Frey), which came out in February 2011. Spielberg continues to be a prolific producer, making money off films like "Real Steel," "Super 8" and the latest "Transformers" film. Spielberg is moving into television in a big way. He's the force behind four shows currently airing, including the NBC Broadway musical show "Smash."
