#7 Director and producer George Lucas

George Lucas is an American film producer, well known for space opera franchise Star Wars and the archaeologist adventurer character Indiana Jones. Lucas is one of the American film industry's most successful filmmakers financially. He signed on to Bill Gates and Warren Buffett's Giving Pledge back in July of 2010, promising to give at least half of his wealth away by the time of his death. “I am dedicating the majority of my wealth to improving education,” Lucas wrote in his pledge letter. The father of four also said in a statement that he would donate the $4 billion+ Disney paid him to acquire Lucas Films to charity as well.

#8 Rockstar Gene Simmons

Gene Simmonsis an Israeli-born American rock bass guitarist, singer-songwriter, record producer, entrepreneur, and actor. Known by his stage persona The Demon, he is the bass guitarist/co-lead vocalist of Kiss, a hard rock band he co-founded in the early 1970s. With Kiss, Simmons has sold more than 100 million albums worldwide.

He is a self-made man; born in Israel, moved to Queens with his mother, and started a group that would end up compiling 28 gold records over the years. He wants the same path for his two kids, Nick and Sophie. He told CNBC several years ago, " In terms of an inheritance and stuff, they're gonna be taken care of, but they will never be rich off my money. Because every year they should be forced to get up out of bed, and go out and work and make their own way." So the $300 million bucks that belong to Simmons will be headed somewhere else upon his death.
