Forbes’ Highest Paid Celebs: Steven Spielberg Follows Close After Madonna With $100,000 million

 

Ranking second on Forbes’ list with $25 million less than Madonna is Steven Spielberg. The director earned an estimated $100 million between June 2011 and June 2012. Most of that money comes from his extensive library. Hit movies like E.T. and Jurassic Park are always playing on TV somewhere in the world. Last year’s Lincoln was a critical and financial hit earning $275 million on a budget of $65 million. Now Spielberg’s DreamWorks is starting to show some real strength on TV. The studio’s latest show, Under the Dome, is one of the few bright spots on broadcast television.
