Inside His $500 MILLION EMPIRE

DESPITE HIS FORTUNE, HE STILL ENJOYS SHOPPING AT COSTCO AND HOME DEPOT

- 

George Clooney notes in the Playbill of Good Night, and Good Luck that he hadn’t set foot on a stage since 1986. Also, “He has never appeared on Broadway so...buckle up,” it read.

Fortunately, most things George touches these days turn to gold. His show about news journalist Edward R. Murrow has broken the record for highest-grossing play with premium seats selling for a whopping $800+ each. At 63, he has become Broadway’s highest-paid performer, raking in $3 million for his 10-week run.

But it’s not all about the money. George works to afford long periods at home with his wife, Amal, and twins Alexander and Ella, 7. “He says the family values he learned growing up are still the same ones he has today,” explains a friend to Closer.
