Celebrity Paydays Posted By Dustin on December 26, 2007
UndercoverHD.com has an interesting article up about celebrities who banked the most dough in 2007. They talk primarily about entertainers like 50 Cent, Jay-Z & Madonna, each of whom brought in way more than I'll ever see in a lifetime. However the interesting part is near the end of the article with a mention of George Lucas.
"The biggest entertainment payday of the year however went to George Lucas. Lucas took in a $200 million check from Hasbro toys. The toy company licenses Star Wars toys and action figures directly from Lucas. In 1997, he received warrants for $170 million for Hasbro stock. This year, they bought the warrants back from him."
Looks like "Uncle George" can keep the franchise going a little bit longer now don't you think?
