8 Actors That Are Surprisingly Rich

There are a few names in Hollywood who you associate with having money, such as Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt.

However, there are a few other people who are on the list of the most successful people in the acting industry who you might not think about at first. In the world of Hollywood, a million dollars is often considered a drop in the bucket compared to how much money some people really make.

Several A-list actors are valued at over $100 million as they tend to earn millions for each movie or television show. Aside from the people who are well-known, there are actors who make just as much money but who aren't heard of because they don't want their name out in the public eye. They want to live a quiet life. Here are 8 actors that are surprisingly rich.

Martin Lawrence

A star in "Bad Boys," Lawrence is worth over $110 million. He grew up in a home with a single mother who strived to work multiple jobs at a time in order to provide for her children.

Rowan Atkinson

This man is known as Mr. Bean. He takes on the character as though he's truly the man in the series. He's worth about $130 million but tries to live a simple life instead of living in a large home or driving fancy cars as he's humble about his earnings.
