Add that salary up for those movies, it's around 8 million And those are only his highest paid movies that he did. He was most likely worth at least 15-20 million. Inflated right now from that amount 30-50 years ago, he's probably worth around 400 million now .

But, when you consider that Col. Parker collected almost half of these fees for himself and the constant flow of money he had going out for gifts, cars and medications, I think he spent most everything he earned. I read somewhere that he had less than $250,000 in liquid assets when he died.
