Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio made his mark in acting early. He spent much of the late ’80s to early ’90s starring in local commercials. But 1992 was the big game changer when he beat 400 others to land a pivotal role alongside Robert De Niro in “This Boy’s Life”.
For “Inception” (2010) he pocketed a whopping $50 million. That performance earned Leo the 10th spot on the Business Insider‘s list of the 17 top-earning roles of all time.
2017 was really the big year for Leo the investor. He backed Casper Sleep Inc., the online mattress sellers that later hit the big time with a value that tipped over $1 billion.
