Dr. Carlisle Cullen

Wealth: $59m

From:
Medicine

As Seen In:
The Twilight Saga (2008 – 2012)

Daniel Plainview

Wealth: $75m

From:
Oil prospecting

As Seen In: There Will Be Blood (2007)

Plainview calls himself an “oil man” and, since first striking it rich in California in 1902, that’s been very much the case.

Developing a pipeline with Union Oil to cut shipping and transport costs proved to be Plainview’s most lucrative venture, after he refused a $1m offer from Standard Oil for his land.

Anna Scott

Wealth: $140m

From: Films

As Seen In: Notting Hill (1999)

With her Henry James adap set to break records and sci-fi epic Helix pocketing her $15m, Scott’s humble residence in Notting Hill baffles many.

Noah Cross

Wealth: $157m

From: Property

As Seen In:
Chinatown (1974)

Navigating the California Water Wars of the 1930s, Cross made his fortune through the purchase of lands controlling the LA water supply.

Forrest Gump

Wealth: $250m

From: Sport, fishing, technology and merchandising

As Seen In: Forrest Gump (1994)

Mr Gump has come to attention for his world-class sporting prowess across two disciplines, war honours and business innovations.

Despite large individual stakeholdings in Apple, albeit unknown in size, and 50 per cent holdings over Bubba Gump Shrimp, Gump insists, “There’s only so much money a man needs.”

Cruella De Vil

Wealth: $287m

From: Fashion

As Seen In:
101 Dalmations (1996)

House Of De Vil, worth over $500m, leads British fashion as a department store outlet that pioneers designers.
