Although his incredible physique may not make it very difficult for fans to imagine him as a gym trainer at one point in life, thinking of him as a teacher in an educational institution would be too far a stretch, but it's not impossible. Is it? It turns out he was also an English and Drama tutor at the Uppingham School in London, England. Jackman has a net worth of about $150 million, thanks to his fantastic career in Hollywood.
7 Sylvester Stallone

2 Liam Neeson
