James Cameron, the creator of multiple billion dollar blockbusters, has now become a billionaire. His directorials, Titanic (1997), Avatar (2009), and Avatar: Way of the Water (2022), have at points been the highest grossing film of all time.
Forbes reported that the net worth of the director sits at $1.1 billion. Avatar is currently the highest grossing film of all time, having collected close to $2.9 billion at the box office. Avatar: Way of the Water and Titanic occupy the third and fourth positions. His films have collected more than $9 billion at the box office.
Even though Cameron's first credit as a director is for Piranha II: The Spawning (1982), the director reportedly considers The Terminator (1984) to be his first feature. He went on to direct several big budget high concept blockbusters, which were profitable at the box office.
The director's next project is his return to the world of Pandora, with Avatar: Fire and Ash. The film is set to release in theatres on December 19. Cameron has also planned for two more films in the franchise, releasing in 2029 and 2031.
