PATRICK STEWART | ACTOR | $70 MILLION

Patrick Stewart is a British actor who played Professor X (Charles Xavier) in the X-Men film series. Sir Patrick Stewart OBE was born on July 13, 1940, in Yorkshire, England. His career on stage started when he was 12. Playhouses in England were stepping stones for him into a career in Hollywood. Eventually, he became a member of the critically acclaimed Royal Shakespeare Company. In 1971, he debuted on Broadway after he landed the role of Snout in A Midsummer Night’s Dream by Shakespeare.

Although he was booked for small roles on film and TV, he did not stop. In 1987, he got the role of Capt. Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation — to a huge degree, this was the role that got him international recognition. By 2021, his net worth was reported by Wealthy Persons to be around $70 million — they say that he accumulated this kind of wealth mainly through his acting career.
