Michael Caine | $80 Million

Sometimes, the story behind an actor’s stage name can be just as interesting as the hit films they have starred in. Such is the case for Michael Caine. Born Maurice Joseph Micklewhite Jr., his source of inspiration was a movie theater’s marquee, which at the time was showing a movie entitled The Caine Mutiny. To this day, the actor claims that if the tree obstructing his view moved a bit more to the left, he would have had the stage name “Michael Mutiny” instead.

With that said, Caine began his career landing minor roles but has since become a well-known figure in the entertainment industry. With his breakthrough in 1964’s Zulu, the actor is now often recognized for his iconic accent. Loved by both fans and colleagues alike, some notable films Caine has an acting credit for include Children of Men, Kingsman: The Secret Service, The Eagle Has Landed, and, of course, The Dark Knight Trilogy.
