That's right, David Copperfield is a full-fledged billionaire thanks to his impressive career as an illusionist. According to Celebrity Net Worth, the entertainer hit "billionaire status" in July 2018. Considering he makes about $40 to $60 million per year thanks to his gig at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, the massive figure definitely checks out.

Additionally, Copperfield has some impressive assets, including his art collection valued at $500 million and his real estate portfolio worth a whopping $200 to $300 million. But while Copperfield has more than enough paper to live comfortably, it was never about the money.

"I never wanted to be a businessman. It just happens," Copperfield told Forbes in 2017. "You have to attend to the business side of things. ... My work is how I have fun—though not without stress—and the islands, the museum, and developing them into something I'm proud of." It sounds like he made a nice living doing what he loves most!
