Celebrities Who Were Rich Before They Were Famous

5Paul Giamatti

Paul Giamatti, whose full name is Paul Edward Valentine Giamatti, is an American actor with an estimated net worth of $25 million.

The 47-year-old actor began his career as a supporting actor in several films like ‘Private Parts’, ‘The Truman Show’, ‘Saving Private Ryan’, ‘The Negotiator’ and ‘Man on the Moon’.

But luck was on his side. In the 2000s, he received lead roles in ‘American Splendor’, ‘Sideways’, ‘The Illusionist’, ‘John Adams’, ‘Win Win’, ‘Cinderella Man’, ‘Cold Souls’ and ‘Barney’s Version’.

He earned his wealth through hard work. Paul Giamatti comes from a rich family. However, if he hadn’t worked so hard and just spend his parent’s money, Paul wouldn’t be today one of the Hollywood’s finest A-list actors. But he didn’t.

His father, Angelo Barlett Giamatti was a professor of Italian Literature at Yale University, and later he became president of the university. Also, he was the president and commissioner of Major League Baseball.
And Paul’s mother was an English teacher, who later began an acting career.
