Steven Spielberg Is Rich Forever!

Filed under: Business Blitz > Steven Spielberg

wenn-spielberg.jpg

Steven Spielberg is filthy filthy rich.

Know why? In addition to raking it in at the box office, every year Steve pockets 2% of the gross box office receipts from Universal’s theme park in Orlando. That comes out to a cool $30 million every 365 days just for "consulting" on park rides and attractions.

Dayum!

The deal has been in place for the past 2 decades, and continues "in perpetuity," so even if Stevie decided to quit making movies, he can still live rather comfortably.

The former head of Universal, Sid Sheinberg, says, "When we made the deal I was delighted to make it. I thought at the time it was a sensible deal. I think it is now. I don’t regret it at all," adding, "The deal has been criticized by some who have entered the world later. If you set out to do a studio tour and you’re competing with a giant mouse, you better have a lot of weaponry, particularly when you move into Orlando, Florida."

Makes sense! It was a smart business move and a mutual investment for both Spielberg and Universal!

    God for you, Steven Spielberg !
    This man gave us "Schiendler's List", "E.T.", "Raiders of The Lost Ark", "Saving Private Ryan" , "Jurassic Park", and so many other great movies, I love him!

    I think their ticket prices are absolutely outrageous for the average american family to afford. Isn't he rich enough? If these parks want to see more attendance during the recession/depression, they should consider severing their agreement with Mr. Spielberg moneybags. I don't really think people will miss the Jurassic Park ride much.

    Old news. Perez you come off has being so dumb sometimes. If Steven wanted to he could have stopped working 25 years ago. He has been rich for a long time. The guy is not only a film maker but also a business man. Not sure why you posted this. It does not bring anything new to the table.



  21. 21

    haha "rather" comfortably. he can do jack squat and live HELLA comfortably.

    but good to see that someone who doesn't need to be doing anything still works hard and creates great movies…he probably doesn't care ALL THAT about the money, but more about getting making his name go down in history



  22. 22

    So what's new??? He can do whatever he wants… he is filthy rich and into charity… he is a nice guy, never been into an scandal… he is getting from life just what he deserves!
