Next, Richard Gere is worth more than you'd think

Richard Gere - $100 Million

We haven't seen much of Richard Gere since his rom-com days of the '90s probably because he's relaxing with all his money. We first met Gerein the film American Gigolo, which made him a certified Hollywood hunk. In 1999 that was cemented when he was voted People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive.

Being a hunk and a good actor made Gere the king of 1990s romantic comedies. He starred in Runaway Bride, Pretty Woman, and Dr. T & The Woman all which helped earn him that $100 million net worth.

The Russian-born tennis player is one of the top-ranked the world has ever seen. Sharapova turned pro in 2001 and immediately became a fixture in the world of sponsorships. Most of her net worth comes from endorsements, not prize winnings. In 2004 alone, she signed contracts with Motorola, Tiffany and Co., Nike, Gatorade, and Tropicana.

In 2016, Sharapova was unable to compete for 15 months after failing a drug test but none of her endorsements seemed to care, because her net worth is still a cool $195 million.

Kobe Bryant - $360 Million

Kobe Bryant is now retired from the NBA but he still has tons of money in the bank. He signed some legendary multi-million dollar contracts as a basketball player but like most athletes, the big money was in endorsements. At his peak, Bryant was signed with Nike, Spalding, and Coca-Cola.

Shania Twain - $350 Million

Not a lot impresses Shania Twain but her net worth might! She's a Canadian girl but has racked up a ton of US dollars with her music over the years. Twain has been in the industry since she was a teen and it was her second studio album that shot her to stardom.

You might recognize the songs that have made her a lot of money like "Man, I Feel Like A Woman" and "Honey I'm Home." Twain is still touring and releasing new music which just keeps increasing her net worth.

Simone Biles - $2.4 Million

The pint-sized gymnast is only in her twenties but she's already stolen our hearts and amassed a huge net worth. How did a gymnast end up with a $2.4 million fortune? Once again, it's all endorsements. And thankfully, being the most decorated gymnast in United States history makes it easy.

In 2016, Biles has received 18 Olympic medals and landed sponsorships with Kellogg's, Procter & Gamble, United Airlines, Hershey, and Beats By Dre. If she's done all that before the age of 30, just imagine what else she will do!

Earnhardt Jr. comes from a famous racing family so he's never struggled with money, but he's made his fair share of his own. Over his two-decade career in racing, Earnhardt Jt. has taken home millions in cash prizes. Of course, racing is all about the advertisers and who can get their name on his car.

If you want to buy a top spot on Earnhardt Jr.'s car for a big race it can cost more than $1 million! Add his merchandise sales to that which outsells other drivers' merch by 25% and $400 million makes a lot of sense.

Derek Jeter - $185 Million

Her television series is simply to increase her public persona since a majority of her net worth comes from writing. Handler has released five books and four of them have topped The New York Times bestseller list.

Johnny Depp - $200 Million

Depp rose to fame in the 1980s on 21 Jump Street, and has always used his bad-boy charm in Hollywood. His net worth steadily increased as he starred in more films then skyrocketed after he landed the role of Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.

In 2016, his net worth was $400 million but a domestic abuse lawsuit brought forward by ex-wife Amber Heard slashed that in half. Depp might try to make us forget about the lawsuit by taking on new, terrible roles such as Gellert Grindlewald in the Fantastic Beasts trilogy but at least he's paying for his past actions with his wallet.

Of course, you might recognize his name from the iconic headphones Beats By Dre. He sold his technology for Apple for $3.4 billion but still makes 25% of the profit for every pair sold.

Matt Groening - $500 Million

If you recognize the name but can't figure out where you know Matt Groening from, it's because you've seen his name at the end of every episode of The Simpsons and Futurama. Understandably, Groening can credit most of his net worth to the success of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie.

The Simpsons is the longest-running primetime tv series in history and have allowed Groening to take home 13 Emmy awards. Maybe a career in art doesn't sound so bad!

Mariah Carey - $520 Million
