    It is estimated that the Spielberg films have earned a stupendous $10.1 billion worldwide. Only the Russo brothers (Anthony and Joe) come close with their Marvel movies grossing $6.84 billion.

    A list of top-grossing movies by Steven Spielberg includes:

    9. Jaws (1975) – $471.2 million

    8. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) – $474.3 million

    7. Saving Private Ryan (1998) – $482.3 million

    6. Ready Player One (2018) – $582.9 million

    5. War of the Worlds (2005) – $591.7 million

    4. The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) – $618.6 million

    1. Jurassic Park (1993) – $1.03 billion

    What is behind Spielberg’s massive earnings?

    Spielberg usually takes a low salary for directing his movies. Instead, he insists on getting paid a certain amount of backend profits on his movies. This explains how he earned $250 million on the original Jurassic Park.

    He is also the co-founder of production company Amblin Entertainment and DreamWorks Pictures.

    Furthermore, Spielberg does consulting work for Universal Studios, pocketing as much as $30 million per year in consulting fees.

    Last but not least, Steven Spielberg can thank Star Wars’ success for bolstering his earnings. He and George Lucas are friends. Even though Spielberg has not worked on the Star Wars films, he’s still made millions by agreeing to a 2.5% backend profit on it. Spielberg’s sci-fi movie Close Encounters did okay at the box office while Star Wars went on to become a cultural juggernaut.
