BRAD PITT
As he tried to make it big in the acting industry, Brad Pitt did a modeling gig for Levi’s. He decided to leave college only a few weeks before finishing his degree to pursue bigger and better things. After moving to California, he landed his first movie role as an extra in Hunk. The actor got lucky when he landed a minor role in Thelma and Louise and proved his worth as an actor. He got cast to star in A River Runs Through It, Se7en, and 12 Monkeys. Thanks to his dedication to these projects, he shot up to the A-list. Aside from acting, he has also worked as a producer and earned more money this way. In fact, it might even be more lucrative than acting.
