S0V13T Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 It's a well known fact that George Lucas has pimped out the Star Wars franchise like a ten thousand dollar a night hooker in Los Vegas. 6 movies, 3 re-releases, a frightening number of VHS and DVD releases, and variants, billions of action figures, a library of games, books, magizines, comics, millions of fans, and a huge percentage of them stating that Jedi is their official religion. My question about George Lucas is why ISN'T he the richest man in the world, or even in the top 10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drken Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 He got devorced after Jedi, and his wife got a huge protion the the rights to the original movies. Also he put alot of the money back into the films and new technology he used in making them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starcrunch Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 People who make movies have alot of overhead, and expenses to answer for. I mean as far as movies go I am sure he is in the top ten richest, but when compared to things like, Oh I don't know, say Microsoft he's not even close, now if every new computer got a copy of Star Wars with it and George reaped the benefits then yes he would be "Gates" rich. Thats like asking why isn't Paul McCartney the leader of his own country. Poor Paul and the rest of the Beatles, save John lost the rights to their music catalogue, Gearge Lucas owns all rights to his material, and he still doesn't even come close to bill gates. Remember he also has the Indiana Jones stuff too. He's gotta be one of the richest whatever he is, director. I am quite sure and positive that Mr. Lucas will never want for anything the rest of his life. I rate it on this scale....Can the man afford to use hundred dollar bills as toilet paper? Answer....yes, he can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wahaha Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 The fact that he has adopted half of the worlds dumbest children. His kids are freaky. Actually the arab oil tycoons and royalty are the ones who can clean their 200 toilets with $1,000 bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wahaha Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 That guy reminded me of apophis(peter williams) with his afro. I have no idea who he is but the more I watched it the harder I laughed. His kids are as round as he is as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
