How did Jerry Bruckheimer build his net worth?
Jerry Bruckheimer's billion dollar net worth comes from his production of a library of hit TV shows and movies.
He has worked with just about everyone in the industry and has close ties with Paramount, Disney, CBS, Warner Bros., and many others. To date, he is the 4th highest-grossing film producer in the world. In addition to his high net worth, he has over 100 awards nominations and more than 30 wins.
Bruckheimer started working in advertising and, during that time, entered the industry, creating commercials for big brands like Pepsi.
His film career began with "March or Die," but his biggest hit that launched him into stardom was the hit movie "Flashdance." Released in 1980, this super hit brought in $95 million at the box office.
Following that success, he released a string of hit movies, including "Gone in 60 Seconds," "The Rock," "Coyote Ugly," "Beverly Hills Cop," "Pirates of the Caribbean," "Black Hawk Down," and many, many more.
The $300 million deal he signed with Paramount was to be the feather in his cap, but it fell apart with poor box office performances.
