Who is the all time highest paid film director in the world?
Correct answer: Steven Spielberg
MrSpeedE
Highest paid? Highest grossing? Two different things. Make up your mind.

one of the best
GrandmaTanya
It was a toss up between Lucas and Spielberg and I went with Spielberg, follow your gut
JeanWila
lame. the stat provided and the actual question are two different things.
MrNobody
I "double-chanced" it picking Spielberg first, being ready to select Lucas next.
Googled it after. Spielberg is highest grossing but Lucas has higher net worth.
Conclusion: inaccurate question. Just too many variables.

Poorly worded question
besincere1
Terrible phrasing of the question...

RegretfulHuman68, I spent time in northern California on the ILM property (George Lucas's Light & Magic production at Skywalker ranch). The guy is "off the charts" amazing!
Einstein's Relative
The question who was the highest PAID not top grossing. Lucas was PAID 3 Billion Dollars for Star Wars.

empire of the sun. Greatest pacflic WWlll movie of all time 😎
Ulrich
MrSpeedE, I was just about to say this. Thanks. I was highly paid Software Architect but hardly highest grossing and certainly not richest.
justme
Highest paid
Not top grosser

Spielberg is also teaching in a college!
Cidha75
He directed great movies, loves Indiana Jones
Sarah
Just looked this up. Lucas is the highest "paid" which I knew and hit Lucas. If it highest grossing movies then of course it's Spielberg. BIG difference
charly
spielberg is my long lost friend🤣🤣
Wu
George Lucas is the correct answer here. Disney's purchase puts him well above Stephen in the 'paid' category

Player #2245997, the book is better. it's the biographical story of one of the greatest SciFi writers - J G Ballard.
Player #27350948
Player #26902188, they didn't mention how much the movies made. Just said he grossed 9 billion worldwide
Player #27350948
LoverNotAFighter, 9 billion as of his last movie
Player #27350948
GrandmaTanya, I was surprised by this but Lucas wasn't even in the top5
Player #27350948
MrSpeedE, he had both
Player #29306140
They didn’t mention the animated movies he did. Land before time I’m sure is one of them

MrNobody,
They don’t even mention George Lucas in the list at the bottom of the explanation
LoverNotAFighter
How much has Spielberg made?
Sian
Is it highest grossing or highest paid.... Not very clear about that one.
Guillermo
they have all done amazing work..
Player #26902188
The question does not match the answer. Paid? Or how much their movies made?
Lauri Vaitti
Two times Indiana Jones. IS it really so good?
Ironstine
Player #6419381, because it's about quantity of movies not average per movie.... or average per year or anything .
Ironstine
seminolejag, no, he's the wealthiest, but by owning the production company and the franchise rights .

the description was not what the question asked highest paid not highest grossing

Gem Cart, Spielberg didn't direct all of the Transformers flicks But he produced most of them.

JimmyLovesQL, so?
JimmyLovesQL
They included "...Temple of Doom" and "1941"? The first needed work. The second was a flop.

Surprising considering Cameron has avatar and titanic. Though Spielberg does have the entire transformers franchise and sold Dreamworks. Just as much an executive producer as director
