Richard Donner Net Worth

Richard Donner net worth: Richard Donner is an American director and producer who has a net worth of $100 million. Richard Donner has directed what are probably some of your favorite movies of the last 30 years. His most notable achievement is probably Superman, which is generally considered the first modern superhero movie, paving the way for films like The Dark Knight and Captain America today. Donner's career began in the world of television, directing episodes of various westerns. He also directed one of the most famous episodes of The Twilight Zone ever produced, "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet," starring an increasingly-sweatier William Shatner. He made his feature film debut in 1961, but it wasn't until The Omen in 1976 that he became a big name in movies. From that, he got the job of helming Superman: The Movie, which was a massive blockbuster success for everyone involved. Unfortunately, creative differences led to Donner's being removed from the sequel, Superman II, until recently, when Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut was released on DVD. Since Superman, Donner also helmed the hugely popular Lethal Weapon series, which did for the "buddy cop" genre what Superman did for superheroes. He's also continued to work on movies that have turned out to be both hits and flops. He's currently attached to a biopic of The Incredible Hulk star Bill Bixby, but it's unknown when or if this project will get off the ground.
