Saban started the now defunct Saban Entertainment group, which distributed popular children\u2019s action hero shows such as \u201cPower Rangers\u201d and the American versions of \u201cDigimon\u201d and \u201cDragonball Z.\u201d His estimated net worth is over $3 billion.<\/p>\n

Segal is more famous for his film work, having appeared in classics such as \u201cWho\u2019s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?\u201d and \u201cThe Hot Rock.\u201d But he has also appeared on dozens of shows, including the current ABC sitcom \u201cThe Goldbergs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Others on the list include actors Amy Adams, Jason Bateman and Mark Ruffalo.<\/p>\n
