Biography
The films of Steven Spielberg, a three-time Academy Award-winning director, have grossed more than $10 billion worldwide.
Spielberg became a household name directing movies like 'Jaws' and 'Jurassic Park.'
In 1994, he cofounded DreamWorks studios with Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen.
Today, a slice of the cash from every ticket at Universal theme parks goes directly into his pocket thanks to blockbuster hits like 'Indiana Jones.'
His recent turns in the director's chair include 'West Side Story' and 'The Fablemans,' a semi-biographical tale about his entry into moviemaking.
