Richard Zanuck: Film Producer with a Net Worth of $80 Million
Richard Zanuck was an American film producer with a net worth of $80 million. He began working in the film industry while in college at Stanford University and worked for 20th Century Fox in the story department. He produced his first film in 1959 and rose to become President of 20th Century Fox, but was fired by his father, former head of the company, due to a spotty track record. He then became Vice President of Warner Bros. and launched his own company, The Zanuck/Brown Company, a subsidiary of Universal Pictures.
Zanuck’s decision to launch his own company proved to be a wise choice and he went on to produce hit projects such as “Jaws”, “Cocoon”, and “Driving Miss Daisy” for which he won an Oscar for Best Picture. He also produced “Planet of the Apes”, “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, and “Dark Shadows”. Zanuck passed away in July 2012 and is the grandfather of producer Dean Zanuck.
