Max Baer Jr. – 83 years old

Net Worth: $50 Million

Max Baer Jr. has been perhaps quite successful in his transition from an actor to an entrepreneur. Moreover, he began his acting career in the late 1940s in Britain and then worked on many projects under the Warner Brothers. During the early 1960s, Baer got the role that made him into a household name, as Jethro Bodine in The Beverly Hillbillies. His role garnered him a large following. However, it also became a double-edged sword for him, as he was typecasted in various works since the series ended in 1971. As such, he focused more on making and directing movies. His most successful film was Macon County Line in 1974, the highest-grossing film per dollar spent until The Blair Witch Project 1999.

Since then, Baer has mostly focused his time on developing casinos. His investmentin these establishments has primarily led to Beverly Hillbillies-themed casinos and hotels in Nevada. Thanks to these, he has a net worth of $50 million.
