Jon Hamm, Actor and Producer, $40 million 

After a career full of struggles, American actor and Golden Globe-winner Jon Hamm achieved fame through his captivating role in the “Mad Men” TV series. Indeed, in 13 long years, before his big break, he had waited tables, been a set designer, and was let go by his agency.

Hamm arrived in Hollywood with nothing but his car and about $150 ready to take on acting. But in a single television series, Hamm’s struggles eventually paid off. After “Mad Men,” he has featured in other popular movies like “Baby Driver,” “Tag,” and 2021 “No Sudden Move.”
