Harrison Ford – 78-Years-Old, $300 Million Net Worth

Warner Bros. Pictures
After a few minor roles in the ’70s, actor Harriston Ford became a cinema icon in the ’80s thanks to his work in two of the biggest franchises of all time, Star Wars and Indiana Jones. Since then, the actor has gone on to not only star in more massive hits, like Blade Runner and Patriot Games, but also has become one of the highest-paid actors of all time.
These days, Ford looks incredible for his age – 78-years-old. How does he do it? Well, Ford credits it to three things: still working, learning to fly airplanes, and working out. However, he told Ellen DeGeneres, “I don’t work out like crazy; I just, I work out a bit…I ride bikes and I play tennis a little bit.”

Mel Brooks – 95-Years-Old, $100 Million Net Worth
Writer-director Mel Brooks has not stopped since he entered the entertainment business back in the 1950s! While most older celebrities have some retirement plan in mind, Brooks does not want to stop working – ever! Way back in 1967, Brooks released his first film, the iconic The Producers. The rest, as they say, is history.

From there, he continued to hit home runs with classics like Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein, among many others. Throughout his incredibly successful career, Brooks managed to earn a fortune of $100 million, mostly from working in film, with a few brand endorsements. There’s no doubt Brooks is one of the greats!
William Daniels – 94-Year-Old, $5 Million Net Worth
While it seems hard to believe, beloved actor William Daniels started working back in the 1940s. That’s right! Of course, older generations might remember the star for his time on ’80s classics like Knight Rider and St. Elsewhere. Meanwhile, Daniels managed to earn the iconic role of George Feeny on the ’90s smash Boy Meets World. Is there anything that he cannot do?

While the 94-year-old has retired from Hollywood, many don’t know that Daniels is also a hero! In the ’40s, shortly after becoming an actor, he joined the armed forces and served overseas in Italy. Today, Daniels remains happily retired and married to his wife of seven decades, actress Bonnie Bartlett.
Gene Hackman – 91-Years-Old, $80 Million Net Worth
Although 2008 seems like just yesterday, it was over 15 years ago. And that means, believe it or not, that actor Gene Hackman has been retired for nearly two decades at this point. That’s right! However, fans still remember him from some of the biggest movies of all time, including The French Connection, Superman: The Movie, and The Royal Tenenbaums.

Finally, in late 2008, Hackman decided to reveal why he had left the movie business in 2005, after nearly six decades on screen. “I miss the actual acting part of it, as it’s what I did for almost 60 years, and I really loved that. But the business for me is very stressful,” he explained. Hopefully, Hackman’s enjoying his retirement with his $80 million net worth.
John Astin – 91-Years-Old, $5 Million Net Worth

Is it hard for you to tell where you have seen actor John Austin before? Well, that’s because you’re used to seeing him with a ton of makeup on! After all, Austin first became a household name for his role as Gomez Adams on the Addams Family. Afterward, he went on to star in big movies like Teen Wolf Too, West Side Story, and Freaky Friday.
Today, the 91-year-old actor spends most of his time teaching the craft of acting at universities like John Hopkins and Columbia. While teaching certainly does not pay the same big bucks as acting, Astin still enjoys a sizable net worth of $5 million!
Gavin MacLeod – 90-Years-Old, $10 Million Net Worth

Very few actors manage to enjoy a career that lasts six decades – but Gavin McLeod is one of the few! For those that don’t remember – or weren’t around – McLeod started his career as a sideman in a number of ’50s movies. However, it wasn’t until the 1970 movie Kelly’s Heroes, which he starred in alongside Clint Eastwood and Telly Savalas, that MacLeod became a household name.
Thanks to his role in Heroes, MacLeod quickly earned roles on hit ’70s shows like The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Love Boat. Sadly, after the ’70s, the actor’s career never gained the same heights. In 2017, MacLeod retired. Today, the 90-year-old quietly enjoys his $10 million net worth, occasionally doing interviews.
