Dan Aykroyd – Est. $200 Million
Dan Aykroyd is a Canadian comedian, actor, screenwriter, and entrepreneur who needs no introduction. His career has gone from strength to strength over the years. His first claim to fame was his appearance in the show Saturday Night Live. He became a household name by playing the character of Ray Stantz in the Ghostbusters franchise.
His Saturday Night Live sketch featuring Dan and John Belushi soon became a touring band. The group went on to release their 1978 album Briefcase Full of Blues. And as luck would have it, the album went double platinum, selling a mammoth 3.5 million copies!
Aykroyd’s entrepreneurial skills included co-founding the House of Blues concert venue/restaurant chain in 1992 and launching Crystal Head Vodka with $600,000. The vodka encased in crystal skull-shaped bottles turned out to be a winner making the company turnover $80 million by 2018. Ackroyd bought a 4-bedroom home in the Pacific Palisades for $14.5 million. He then sold his Hollywood Hills property for $3.8 million. All thanks to his acting career, wise investments, his net worth stands at $200 million!
