Napoleon Dynamite
Napoleon Dynamite is arguably one of the most well-known movies from 2004. It started with a meager budget of just $400,000, but somehow, the titular main character, played by Jon Heder, managed to make the movie a tremendous success. We’re talking $46.1-million gross earnings worldwide!
Want to hear something strange? Because Jon was so unknown back in the day, he only received $1,000 to take the role of Napoleon. However, after the movie’s huge success, he started receiving acting gigs left and right! The movie has amassed a humungous cult following over the years. Today, Jon has a net worth of over $15 million.
