Net Worth
George Lucas donated all of the $4 billion he earned from selling his company to Disney to charity with an emphasis on education improvement, taking advantage of lower capital gains tax rates while simultaneously mitigating estate tax liability at his death. By doing this, he also saved on capital gains tax rates as well as estate tax costs at time of death.
Lucas is estimated to be worth approximately $10 billion and his net worth has steadily grown since selling Lucasfilm. Along with Star Wars, his success lies not only with film and TV projects such as Indiana Jones but also through starting up companies such as THX Skywalker Sound and Industrial Light and Magic as subcontractors of Lucasfilm.
