The 20 Richest Oscar Winners of All Time

On Sunday, the 84th annual Academy Awards will air worldwide. Each year the Academy hands out their Oscars to Hollywood's best actors, writers, directors, singers, producers and more. The Oscar is the most prestigious award in Entertainment. As we saw with our earlier list of the net worths of every 2012 Oscar nominee, each year the Oscar goes to some incredibly wealthy people. With that in mind, we here at Celebrity Net Worth decided to compile a comprehensive list of the 20 richest Oscar winners of all time.
***Monday Morning Update***
A reader correctly pointed out that Paul McCartney and Oprah Winfrey were missing from our original list of 20. McCartney won as a Beatle in 1971 for the song "Let it Be" from the movie of the same title and Oprah was given a Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award in 2011. So we actually expanded our list to 22 but kept the title of the article the same. Some interesting facts we learned from our list:
Richest Oscar Winners Fun Facts:
1) They have a combined net worth of $13.88 billion.
2) Only 4 out of the 22 people are women.
3) Seven of the 22 are musicians.
4) 21 out of the 22 are still living.
5) Being an actor is clearly not enough. In order to make this list you needed to produce, direct or compose something spectacular.
Warning! This list might make your jaw drop!
