Michael Fassbender

Net Worth: $40 Million

Movie: X-Men

Character: Magneto

Michael Fassbender’s portrayal of Magneto as the leader of the brotherhood of mutants against humans was, to his credit, one of the reasons why the rebooted X-Men franchise was way more successful and critically acclaimed than the previous one. This is because Fassbender added emotional depth to the character, which was formerly unheard of. Even though he was playing a villain, we can’t help but sympathize with his character, having seen his struggles in life.

Indeed, Fassbender’s beloved performance in the film isn’t so surprising considering that he has also done the same in other successful movies such as Hunger, Inglorious Basterds, 12 Years a Slave, Steve Jobs, and many more. With so many profitable movies under his belt, he was able to amass a net worth of $40 million, which he then invested into various lucrative ventures.
